    they can review it at anytime.
    they used to give out time awards for a set period, but now they seem to be giving indefinate awards to everyone. It could be 1 year or it could be 3 years, unless there is a change of circumstance from your husbands side.

    A small percentage of indefinite awards are reviewed so it is unlikely to be reviewed. Awards for a certain amount of time are still given out, they do not give indefinite awards to everyone.
