Do I Need To Notify Social Security If I Had Surgery That Affected My Impairment?
I started to recieve SS Disability because I have RA for 14 yrs and getting worse. I also have (*had) far sighted double vision.
The double vision progressed rapidly and I was at the end of prisms helping me. I had surgery and now instead of far sighted double vision now, I have near sighted double vision, and a couple of other sight problems. It was a tradeoff. I think I have to let Social Security know. I am hoping I can explain it properly. I still have double vision, but in reverse of what it was. Do you understand what I mean? Please advise. Thank you.
Hi,
I don't entirely understand, but you would only need to notify Social Security of the change in your condition if you believe that your impairment(s) is no longer disabling.
Best, Jerry
