tdiu Denied Ssi
I have applied for SSDI based on my 100% P&T TDIU rating from the VA. Today I got a letter from social security stating I have been denied SSI because I make to much money. That is OK since I never applied for SSI. Do you thank this is a just a form letter they send out and has nothing to do with my SSDI claim.

Ssdi And Ssi-Turning 62 In September-How Should I File To Be Protected...
I will be turning 62 the last part of September. I know i can go on and fill out all of the paperwork online for this. My question is, I will not be working after 08/05/11, due to my service connected disabilities and one other disability ( not recognized by VA yet). The VA is sending me a letter that I will no longer be able to work after the 5th. (for the pulmonary disease). By the way, our outside cardiologist put it in writing that the pulmonary affected my AO IHD. We are sending this in as new evidence. The VA pulmonologist is the one writing the unable to work anymore. We asked the VA pulmonologist if this disease affected my heart and he said yes. We asked i…

ptsd Ssdi
Let me see if i can get across for an answer... i was collecting SS,,,then i applied for SSDI as instructed from my psychiatrist for PTSD... Got an appt, with SS....all went well...was approved in 3-4 months....my question is...i went up from original SS amount of (hypothetical amt) $1000....to $1700 for SSDI amt....from my understanding this SSDI amount stays the same until i reach FRA...(full retirement age) at which time they drop SSDI and it converts to SS..In name only..(but keeping the higher rate)? That being said...my second question is..when my wife reaches SS age of 66 (fra) will she get half of my amount now at $1700? or only hers.(which is lower) let…

Social Security, Va Disability
I have a few questions here, I was recently approved for Social Security disability and have been requesting and increase of my disability. Can the VA come back and say since you are getting Social Security there is no need to increase your disabilitiy rating . Presently I am 50percent but had to quit my job in September due my disability. Just like info on how the SS plays in the VA roles? I am also collecting unemployment as with SSD they say if you get hired you may have to quit SSD. My questions are as follows: 1.Since I am requesting my VA to increase the ratings froom 50 to whatever could they come back and say since you get SS we don't need to give you any mor…

Could This Impact Va Cola?
Proposed 1% reduction in annual Social Security COLA? I'm not a lawyer, but saw this in the news and was curious if it could impact VA COLA --- if it somehow was signed into law. I know Bachman took some heat recently for publicly announcing the desire to cut VA benefits, but quickly realized it was a mistake. This could be one of those situations where Hutchison does not realize that this proposal might have cascading effect into VA benefits. Senator Kay Bayley Hutchison (R-Texas) proposed her "Defend & Save Social Security Act" Key provisions, if passed: - Gradually increase retirement age (over 16 years) to 69 - Institute a one percent reduction in t…

Help! Filing The Initial Paperwork For Ssdi When You Know Your Last Day Of Employment.
We have heard that you can pre-file for SSDI if you know your last day of working. This way Social Security can begin to gather all of your medical records and by the time you quit they may have some of the records already. Has anyone heard of doing this? Rockman is working 2 days a week and when he goes to his cardiologist on June 20th- he will know what his current condition is. Right now, it is not looking good and walking for him has become very very difficult. His original target date to leave his job was about the third week in July. If he has to quit earlier, he will take about 3 weeks at once to use up his leave. This would make his exit date alot earlier an…
