Will your SSD or SSI benefits increase if your condition worsens? Every once in a while, this question comes up.
The answer is No, and that’s because you get the max benefit you are entitled to when you are approved. For SSI, this is a set amount. For SSD, what you get is based on what you paid into the system through your years of work activity (your fica deductions from your paychecks).
I am a former disability examiner and I publish the website Social Security Disability Resource Center, or SSDRC for short. I also maintain a facebook page for SSDRC (Social Security Disability Blog).
Neither this blog, nor the facebook page, nor my website are affiliated with the Social Security Administration.
