Social Security is ramping up disability reviews. Most people fail because they weren't prepared — not because they aren't disabled. We'll make sure that doesn't happen to you.
Social Security has increased the frequency of Continuing Disability Reviews. Here's what that means:
The problem: Most people don't know when their CDR is coming until the forms show up in the mailbox. By then, you have only weeks to respond. With 24Help, you'll know months in advance — and we'll walk you through every step.
Dial 1-800-772-1213 (TTY 1-800-325-0778). Have your Social Security Number ready. Call during business hours (Mon–Fri, 7am–7pm local time).
Listen for: your diary type (MIE, MIP, or MINE) and the approximate date of your next review. They may give you a range like "sometime in 2026."
You can also log into your my Social Security account at ssa.gov to see information about your case, though CDR dates may not always appear clearly there.
Once you know your date, scroll down and enter it in the form below. We'll build your personalized countdown and prep plan.
Once you sign up, we'll send you everything you need — timed to the months before your CDR.
We'll remind you 6 months, 3 months, 1 month, and 2 weeks before your CDR. Each alert includes exactly what to do at that stage.
A complete checklist of medical evidence to gather, doctors to contact, and forms to prepare — starting 6 months out. Nothing is left to chance.
When the CDR forms arrive (SSA-454 or SSA-455), we walk you through every question — what to say, what NOT to say, and the traps to avoid.
If they try to cut you off, you'll have step-by-step appeal instructions, how to request benefit continuation during appeal, and when to get a lawyer.
A CDR is Social Security's periodic check to see if you still qualify for disability benefits. They review your medical records and ask you to fill out forms describing your current condition and how it affects your ability to work.
Most of the time, your benefits continue. But SSA may find "medical improvement," which could reduce or end your benefits — though you have appeal rights.
MIE (Medical Improvement Expected): Every 6–18 months. Used when SSA thinks your condition might improve.
MIP (Medical Improvement Possible): Every 3 years. Used when SSA thinks improvement is possible but not expected.
MINE (Medical Improvement Not Expected): Every 5–7 years. Used when SSA thinks your condition is permanent. (Note: SSA is considering changing this to more frequent reviews.)
If SSA finds "medical improvement," they will send you a notice saying your benefits will stop — but you have the right to appeal.
Here's the critical part: If you request "benefit continuation" within 10 days of the notice, your benefits keep flowing while you appeal. This gives you time to build your case without financial panic.
Most people win on appeal or at a hearing. You're not out of options.
Technically, yes, you can prepare on your own. But most people miss critical steps — they don't gather the right medical evidence, they don't know what SSA is looking for, or they fill out the forms in ways that hurt their case.
Our service removes the guesswork. We tell you exactly what to do, months in advance, so you're not scrambling when the forms arrive.
