Why would social security change my social security disability less than what I was getting in the beginning?

Hi,

There could be a number of different reasons why your benefit rate was reduced. For example, Social Security may have recomputed your rate to correct a previous calculation error. That rarely occurs, though, so it probably isn't that. More likely, Social Security is withholding part of your benefit rate for some reason. But, since I don't have access to your records, I can only speculate.

Social Security generally sends notices to people to explain any changes in their benefit rate, but if you don't receive such a notice you'll need to contact Social Security for an explanation.

Best, Jerry
