The authors' intention in creating this Forms Library as a companion to their bestselling series is to help you and your family keep your Social Security Disability Benefits as well as provide you with the forms you'll need to facilitate the process of preparing for the tool the Social Security Administration uses to determine whether or not your Disability Benefits should cease or continue - the CDR (Continuing Disability Review).The Forms Library is designed to make it as easy as possible for your medical provider(s) to prepare the information Social Security needs in order to make a decision on your claim.The SSA periodically reviews existing recipients' conditions to ensure they still meet SSA eligibility requirements. You will likely be contacted at some point in your life and, depending on your age, maybe even multiple times to have your claim reviewed. You do not want your hard-earned benefits terminated! For many of you, your benefits are a crucial part of your financial security.Our Forms Library is designed to prepare you for when you receive a Continuing Disability Review (CDR). Use the forms that coincide with your particular medical issues. The forms are user-friendly for your medical provider(s). Do not be afraid to ask them to complete the forms. We often heard that our client did not want to bother the doctor by asking him or her to complete a form. This is part of practicing medicine. It is in the medical providers' best business interests to keep you on Social Security Disability because then you have health insurance and they get paid.We recommend that you get your provider to complete a form for every problem you have, but at the very least, you want to have a Physical Capacities Evaluation completed. Your benefits are at stake here, so you need to make sure you get every shred of medical evidence you can get that supports your claim.The use of these forms will go a long way towards helping Social Security understand what mental and/or physical problems prevent you from working.PRAISE FOR JERROLD ZIVIC AND HIS WORK:Working with Mr. Zivic over the past 25 yrs has proven to be very rewarding.
