The SSA-454-BK (Continuing Disability Review Report) collects information necessary
for a CDR and expedited reinstatement (EXR) case. The report records the most current
information about the person receiving disability benefit's medical condition since
the most recent favorable medical decision or the comparison point decision (CPD).
This report collects pertinent information about the beneficiary or recipient's medical
and non-medical sources and treatments, work status, educational and vocational training,
and current daily activities.
The field office (FO) should not complete the SSA-454-BK in medical improvement not
expected (MINE) and MINE-equivalent cases. For more information on MINE cases, see
DI 13005.022.
The FO is responsible for informing the person receiving disability benefits, representative
payee, or appointed representative that we will collect information to evaluate continuing
eligibility for disability payments and that we will determine whether medical improvement
has occurred.
