Ssdi
I'm running this again since I didn't get any bites earlier. Can anyone give me a good reason I should put in for SSDI. Reason I'm asking is I'm retired on a gov. disability retirement under the old system, so never had to pay SS. So what ever money I get will just be compesated by taking the same amount out of my retirement check. Hope I said that right! ha. So if I'm correct, the only benefit I would get is medicare after 2 years. Any bites on this one?

Backwards- Ssd First, Filing For Va Compensation Now
I was told not to bother to apply for compensation when I got out even though I had multiple problems upon release. I was BS'd during the exit exam now that I finally have my records I realized they did not include my conditions then. I was completely disabled (SSD) years ago and spent almost 6 more years having surgeries for that condition which i believe was initially caused by a service related accident. Do I attach my SS award to my VA claim( which will include other issues that have become worse)? Will it hinder , help or retard any increased compensation in the future? Thank you.

Is Ssd Doctor’S Physical Standard?
I was rated @ 100% from VA for my first application. I immediately got a job after retiring from the military but after 8 months of working I was terminated due to my physical condition/limitation. My employer gave me an official letter of the medical reason for my termination. I filed for SSD 4 months ago and basically laid out what the VA rated me on and submitted the letter from my previous employer. SSA sent me a letter scheduling me for a doctor's exam. Well I went to the doc and he was very accommodating as he was a vet as well. I thought the exam went well as I could point out things I could never have just on paper alone. My questions is, do all SS…

100% Rated Veterans Automatic Ssdi
The link below goes to the bill that was proposed last year by Sarbanes from MD and his 74 co-sponsors for some reason it has not been acted on yet and is sitting at the committee "ways and means" I think this would help a lot of veterans including myself who is worn out fighting with the VA for their rating and then have to fight the SS for SSDI for basically the same condition. I would like to see this passed this year. If you agree please send a email to your senator/congress person and ask for their support on this. Thank you, Stillhere http://thomas.loc.gov/cgi-bin/query/z?c111:H.R.4054:

Csrs
I'm on the old retirement system CSRS (Civil Service Retirement System) and was courious if anyone else is. I understand the FERS (newer system) retiree's that are recieving both SSDI and FERS have to take an offset from OPM. Since my retirement system didn't include paying Social Security, but, I did earn enough SS credits prior to Federal employment. Does anyone know, or is in the same situation, tell me if I have to abide to the same rules as FERS if I'm granted SSDI. I was reading the SSA Forem here but couldn't find anything about this, and SSA is closed for the weekend.

S S A Wounded Warrior Eligibility
Military service members can receive expedited processing of disability claims from Social Security. Benefits available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans Affairs and require a separate application. The expedited process is used for military service members who become disabled while on active military service on or after October 1, 2001, regardless of where the disability occurs. The following questions link to answers to questions most people ask about applying for disability benefits. Knowing the answers to these questions will help you understand the process. http://www.socialsecurity.gov/woundedw…

Denied Starting Over Again
I was recently denied by the SSA Appeals Council so I decided to file over again because my attorney did not want to take this case to federal court due to the time and money involved. I've since hired a new attorney and he returns all my calls unlike my previous attorney. I feel a whole lot better about my case this time around. My SSD quarters run out in December 2011 so I had two options either drop my case or refile over again so I chose the last option.
