Here’s how it works and what to do right away: #### 1. Yes, You Can Appeal a Termination for Missing a Review[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695bd4db-84a8-8007-b60b-2346c40d47a3&veaction=edit§ion=4 "Edit section: 1.

Yes, You Can Appeal a Termination for Missing a Review")] If Social Security terminated your SSDI because you missed a Continuing Disability Review (CDR) deadline, you can request reconsideration and ask for good cause for missing the deadline. Medical and psychiatric impairments are explicitly recognized as “good cause.” Examples SSA accepts: * Physical illness or hospitalization * Mental health conditions (depression, anxiety, PTSD, cognitive impairment, etc.) * Medications causing confusion, fatigue, or inability to respond * Difficulty understanding or completing paperwork due to disability #### 2. The Most Important Deadline (Very Time-Sensitive)[[edit](https://freemwiki.com/index.php?title=Openai/695bd4db-84a8-8007-b60b-2346c40d47a3&veaction=edit§ion=5 "Edit section: 2.

The Most Important Deadline (Very Time-Sensitive)")] You generally have 60 days from the date on the termination notice to appeal. ⚠️ If you appeal within 10 days, you can usually request that your benefits continue while the appeal is pending. Even if you are past 60 days, you can still appeal if you show good cause for late filing — and again, your conditions can qualify. #### 3.
