Social Security Disability Hearing
e4766 applied for SSI and SSDI at the same time in 2007. He was turned down, naturally, the first time for SSDI so we hired a lawyer and he has a hearing in August. Can anyone give us a hint what to expect? Lawyer seems to think with rate increase coupled with all medical evidence will prevail, but who knows? Just need to be aware of tips or experience that anyone has. Thanks. Carolyn

Can You Get Ssi And Ssdi At The Same Time.
When my app went in they put me in for both ssi and ssdi. I have been medically approved. They said ssdi is automatic but ssi is processed here locally and once my working comes off of leave she will get to it. In the mean time I want to know how does being qualified for both work. Will I get both at the same time or no. I am eligable for ssdi from march of this month so can you tell me how all of this will work if you know and understand. Thnx. I have no other income at this time other than child support and they said it does count against me since its for my child. thnx

ptsd Need Medicaletter From Ssa
I was recently awarded SSDI for an anxiety disorder (PTSD) but all my award letter stated was my disability date and my monthly award. I am currently rated 80% SC for 10% tinnitis, 10%HBP and 10% PTSD. I recently filed for an increase on the PTSD because life's been rough lately and was told (or maybe read) that I could get a letter from SSA stating exactly WHY I got SSDI in the first place (in my case PTSD). I spent 3 1/2 hours waiting at the lcal SSA just for them to look at me like I was from another planet when I asked about it and then they gaffed me off and said it was'nt possible. She supposedly checked with the supervisor. I really wanted that letter to send …

Ssdi Attorney Wants Me To Pay Expenses
I got denied for SSDI, and rather than deal with it anymore I called a few lawyers. I just got the paperwork from one of them, and in the contract I have to agree to pay for all expenses: "In addition to attorney fees, I agree to pay my attorneys for reasonable expenses that they pay in my case. These may include long-distance telephone calls, medical records, photocopying and the like. I will get a bill for these expenses and I will pay these expenses when invoiced, billed or notified of a charge. I agree to pay expenses whether my case is won or lost." I've never used a lawyer on a contingency basis before. Aren't these expenses part of the attorney's cost of doin…

ptsd Filed But Not Too Confident Now...
yesterday, i filled out my ppwk online and mailed it in for SSDI. i simply scanned and printed my award letter from the VA. i am rated 70% for one condition, ptsd. my GAF is 50 (im still floored by that one!). i thought this would be sufficient since the only thing i really get from the va is therapy (torture in some cases) for the ptsd. the lady on the phone w/ the SSA said they could get my records from the VA. so, i come back here and start reading all these posts on SSDI and how folks have been declined over and over....now, im wondering - did i just shoot myself in the ass? should i have got the records from the VA and sent in? oh, and any idea what the "typi…

Expedited Claim Process For Service Members
Just came across this and wanted to pass it along. However, I think someone should inform SSDI of this new "policy." Bergie http://www.military....iors?ESRC=vr.nl
