It depends on how your condition was classified. If your condition was categorized as “medical improvement possible” (MIP), then you should expect to have your case reviewed again within the next two to five years after your approval. However, if your condition was categorized as “medical improvement not expected” (MINE), then your case will not be reviewed until five to seven years have passed. Essentially, as long as your condition remains debilitating, you can continue to collect benefits until you reach the age of retirement and can collect social security retirement benefits.
