If your benefits have ended because of work, you can request that Social Security start your benefits again without having to file a new application. There are some important conditions:

• You have to be unable to work because of your medical condition.
• The medical condition must be the same as or related to the condition you had when Social Security first decided that you should receive disability benefits.
• You have to file your request to start your benefits again within 60 months of the date you were last entitled to benefits.
