Not Sure
Not sure when I will get my back pay. The guy at ssa said a letter has been sent, so I hope it will be this week. Some say you get the money before you get the letter. Just have to wait.

At Payment Center
Just called my ssa office and asked when my first check and back pay would be released was told check was still at payment center. She said that's all she could see in her system. Now a man called me yesterday and said I was approved and also told me the amount of my back pay and what I would get per month and letter will be coming soon. Not sure she knows what's going on or maybe she's new. Have any body been told this? and if so what happen after that. *Sparkle

Discision Made But Send To Review
Called ssd and was told that my claim was send but for review. I filed 9/9 of this year, but have been dealing with my mental disorder from 1982 after I got out the Air Force. I never was see my a VA dr. after getting out. I did go to a private dr. for 8 years and after that start seeing a VA psychiatric in 2009 when I first saw the VA psychiatric, because I just filed my ssd claim. I was wondering would ssd go back to 1997-2005. I do have my dr.'s medical notes for 19997-2005 that state all me mental disorders and all the medication that I was taking( alprazolam, xanax, paxil, zoloft, prozac, zyprexa, celexia, ativan, lorazepam, trazodone and so much more from my private…

ptsd Ptsd And Ssa
Section IX. SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS Duel Compensation. Under current regulations you can receive VA disability compensation and Social Security disability benefits at the same time, without a decrease in either. That's the good news. The bad news is.... The Social Security Administration (SSA) is another government agency, ergo, more waiting and frustration is in store for you. Knowing what to expect and what forms are required will help eliminate a great deal of frustration and will cut down on the time required to receive your benefits. The SSA Internet web page is located at www.ssa.gov, where you can download blank forms and find up-to-date information…

ptsd Disability Determination Servies
An examination for Ptsd medical condition was done today. One hour and half the Doctor asked me questions about my life in the Army. Social Security will send me to another appointment in 10 days. After that a report will be sent to the SSA and a decision maybe based on the information in my case file. Should hear something around August 2011. Wish me good luck. Take care my veterans friends. Don't give up.................. Medical examination done on July 11,2011.

Social Security Consultative Examination
I was researching a question on another board about whether or not you could have your own provider do the Consultative Examination (Mental or Physical). I found the following: http://www.ssa.gov/disability/professionals/greenbook/ce-guidelines.htm Note: The treating source is the preferred source of purchased examinations when the treating source is qualified, equipped and willing to perform the additional examination or tests for the fee schedule payment and generally furnishes complete and timely reports. Even if only a supplemental test is required, the treating source is ordinarily the preferred source for this service. SSA's rules provide for using an indepen…

tdiu Ssdi Filing Questions That Are Complicated Work History.
Okay, so I just finally started to file my SSDI after my Psychiatrist urged me to do so several months ago. Like anything it takes me months to get motivated or courage to do things or remember to do things. So, here is my dilemma. I worked a couple of jobs after getting Med Boarded from the USAF in 2003. I got all the jobs via favors from friends. Which I burned them and am no longer friends with any of these people or any of my old friends anymore as I have pushed them away or totally pissed them off from one of my rants or my general negative attitude. I worked for each job for a short period as I would become intolerable, withdrawn, and unmotivated. Which in …

Ssdi Under Review, With 100% Va Rating
Both SSA and VA have been awarded for the same condition and SSDI has been ongoing for 9 years. Now the case is up for a review. What are the reasons why it would be revoked or is that a remote possibility in the first place?

Hello All, Just when I thought things were getting better...the "system" again lets me down.

Here's a breakdown on what has transpired: 9/22 - Filed Reconsideration Request online at the SS website. 9/26 - Received the standard "Important Info About Your Disability Claim" letter from the new Disa…
