I have only been on disability a little over a year. I hear that they may have a review in 3 years. I don’t know for sure when though because I have not been on it that long. I don’t think mine will end unless for some reason they found I had improved enough to work. I don’t see that happening personally.

Ok, I read that it depends on your likelihood to improve how often they review it. The more likely you are to improve, the more frequently they review your condition, but I was not sure how long between reviews it was for sz’s.

Yeah before my last review, I wasn’t reviewed for more than 5 years.
I’m on disability for Schizoaffective disorder.
Maybe it will be more than 5 years.

That makes me sad. I don’t think the government believes in my ability to improve because I’ve had it for like 7 years and I only remember the initial interview and one review a few years after that.

It seems that it’s pretty difficult to get on disability if you live in Canada. @Aziz
It’s easier in the States.

I didn’t apply yet, I know 2 schizophrenics who are on disability, though they receive more than what my pdoc told me I would receive.

I have total and permanent disability in the US, and even with that I get reviewed every few years. I get the least amount of money you can get unfortunately.
