Ssd, Getting You Started On Your Research
I have a website entitled howtoassemblevaclaims.com. It is intended to guide veterans/dependents in researching, organizing and assembling a va claim/appeal. Right now, revisions are with the web designer. Included is information on Social Security Disability pertaining to Job Description. Because I know a lot of you will never access my site, I am including here, an excerpt from what will eventually be added to it. My only concern is to help veterans, whether you go to my site or read it here. Either way is fine with me. I wish you success. fanaticbooks EXCERPT from revision eventually going on howtoassemblevaclaims.com ********************************…

Can I Change my onset date for SSDI?
Yes, you can "amend" (change) your original AOD to a different date. In fact, disability lawyers often advise their clients to agree to an amended onset date in exchange for a fully favorable decision (an approval) from an administrative law judge. Judges suggest amending your onset date when they agree that you're currently disabled but disagree when your disability started.

SSDI - Reconsideration Phase
Hi, I’m going through the appeal/reconsideration process now (filed 8/23/23) on step 3 of 5 as I was denied on my initial filing in which I filled 9/16/2022). Just to give you a brief medical background, I have depression, PTSD, anxiety, insomnia, hypersomnia, sleep apnea w/CPAP, migraines, headaches, tinnitus, cubital tunnel syndrome in both arms, and I am going through the process now with my Orthopedic doctor to diagnose cervical spine and neck pain and stiffness. I am a disabled veteran rated at 90% currently going through the process of being rated at 100%.

Social Security recipients could see 8.7% COLA bump as inflation soars
Social Security recipients could see 8.7% COLA bump as inflation soars The roughly 70 million people – retirees, disabled people and others – who rely on S Social Security could receive an 8.7% cost-of-living adjustment, or COLA, next year, according to an estimate by Mary Johnson, a policy analyst for the Senior Citizen League, an advocacy group. That would be the largest increase since 1982. For the average retiree who got a monthly check of $1,656 this year, the bump would mean an additional $144.10 a month in 2023, boosting the typical payment to $1,800, Johnson estimates. “A boost by that much is certainly going to ease the (budget)…

My anxiety prevents me from using the phone. What can I do?
I keep being told i need to make a phone call. People keep giving me a call back, but I can't pick up. I have been even having issues since the pandemic started because I cannot use telehealth. Seems like nobody understands. So I am damn near giving up. I am also technically homeless, due to always being in fear, I have to keep moving. I am rated 100 by the VA. I just wish I could email someone, but I keep seeing that legally I have to talk on the phone. I can't. This has been very hard. I don't mind going to an SSA office, I just am never put. Sorry everyone, I don't want to worry anybody, an other reason I can't stay put. I don't even know what my question really is. Ju…

SSD Claim Denied by Judge
Hello guys, I am looking for a good SSD attorney in Florida. I am 50 years old and my claim was just denied by an Administrative Law Judge. I have not received the denial in the mail yet so not sure exactly why denied. I do currently have an attorney but she has been less than aggressive to say the least. I am rated 80% disabled by the VA and receive TDIU benefits. I actually received SSS benefits from 2002-2004 but went back to work for about 6 years until my condition got worse again. I thought it would be relatively simple to get the SSD re-instated, especially since I now receive TDIU benefits from the VA. Wrong. I receive 70% for PTSD, 10% for tinnitus, and 1…

Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title. I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
Again – Make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
How To Post
Post a clear title like
‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery” instead of ‘I have a question."
This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”
Note:
Your first posts on the board may be delayed before they appear as they are reviewed. The review requirement will usually be removed by the 6th post. However, we reserve the right to keep anyone on moderator preview.
This process allows us to remove spam and other junk posts before hitting the board. We want to keep the focus on VA Claims, and this helps us do that.
