Important Information

If we decide to do a full medical review of your case:

  • You can give us any information which you believe shows that you are still disabled, such as medical reports and letters from your doctors about your health.

  • We will look at all the information in your case, including the new information you give us.

  • We may find that you are no longer disabled under our rules and your payments will stop. If this happens you can appeal our decision. You can also ask us to continue to pay benefits while you appeal.

Things to Remember
