I began my claim in February 2026 and currently at step 3. I have a few questions. I was scheduled to attend a CE exam on May 5. After attending the appointment,my portal view has changed and my notes in my case went back to the February 19 request for documents. Is it normal for the portal view to switch back to previous request after the CE exam?

Is it normal for SSDI to give appointment details to family member and other 3rd party individuals who completed the function report as witnesses outside my home? DDS has contacted my daughter and 3 others about my scheduled CE appointments AFTER speaking to me and sending snail mail. I don’t mind them notifying my daughter. But to share this information with old employers and others I think would be a PII violation. I just want to know is this normal?

Note I did not assign anyone to be a POC in my application.

Edit- No negative Nancy’s please.

A few weeks ago I received a CareFirst visa for medical expenses. I’m not sure why I received this card as I’m not employed and haven’t worked since 2023. No other health insurance that would warrant this card. Could this be linked to my SSDI claim?

Last question is it normal for SSDI to give appointment details to family member who completed the function report as witnesses? DDS has contacted my daughter about my scheduled CE appointments after speaking to me. I don’t mind this, I just want to know is this normal and a good sign.
