What is the name of your state?Hawaii
I would like to acquire a copy of the "3 year review" doctors report since I haven't been notified of the review results. It's been 3 months since the examination and I wonder if it would be possible to have a copy for my records. I'm tempted, at this point, to call the SSI claims people to ask if they have concluded the review as well as request a copy of the report.
Thanks for your feedback!

All people receiving disability benefits must have their medical conditions reviewed from time to time. Your benefits will continue unless there is strong proof that your condition has improved medically and that you are able to return to work.

Frequency of reviews
How often your medical condition is reviewed depends on how severe it is and the likelihood it will improve. Your award notice tells you when you can expect your first review.

Medical improvement expected—if your condition is expected to improve within a specific time, your first review will be six to 18 months after you started getting disability benefits.
Improvement possible—if improvement in your medical condition is possible, your case will be reviewed about every three years.
Improvement not expected—if your medical condition is unlikely to improve, your case will be reviewed only about once every five to seven years.

You can request a copy from the place that did the evaluation .
