Ssdi Denied. Says I Can Be A Cashier.
Anyone know of a good lawyer to contact in SoCal? It basically said that I was denied because I can still perform work that I did 12 years ago as a cashier. Even though it shows that I have clear panic attacks in public. I figured it would happen but hoped for the best. Next step: lawyer up. Thanks in advance! -Mario

SSDI Advocate
My SSDI review came up about a month ago and I was denied for extended SSDI for no apparent reason except they said I could go back to work. Nothing else on the decision letter. I am writing up my own Evidence with Exhibits but I would like a SSDI Advocate to help me with my case. I know there are Free ones out there per the SSDI decision letter but after googling I cannot seem to find one. Does anybody know of a free SSDI advocate who could help me with my paperwork? I've dealt with the VA and SSDI is easier but you just gotta know how to write this stuff up. Example: I was approved for SSDI in February. After the decision I Vocational Rehab said I cannot go back to work…

Can Someone Advise Me of All Disability Compensations that I Can Apply For?
I am aware of Title 2 SS, but I am fed up with waiting for the V.A. to grant my Cue Claim and jobs not wanting to hire me. I was trying to work, but why go through all of this hassle if I have all of these disabilities and can receive compensation for them. I am just unsure of whats out there that pays monthly whether it's V.A. or the civilian sector. I am already rated at 60% with the V.A., which I should be 100%. Thanks in advance for any advice given by all.

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.
