Thanks, Richard. I was advised by my client to use this one as well in the particular context. Sven's is also correct, so I'll gloss his as well (maybe more US English from what I've seen). If advised otherwise by anyone, I'll change the glossary, with thanks to all.

[disability benefit] re-assessment (BE and CanE)


Explanation:
I reckon Sven's answer is all-purpose, though this might be a case where the target-audience - US, Can., UK or rest of Brit. Commonwealth etc. - could be critical for the right term.

Distinguish different types of review:

1. 're-assessable' UK STATE disability benefit;
2. 'reviewable' provisional damages awarded on account by a UK COURT to a needy victim;
