Ssdi (quality Assurance)
The claims fellow, (he had called me to confirm that I was not working), from Social Security Administration Disability Determination Services. I asked about my claim; (at first, he was reluctant to say anything about my claim). Subsequently and after he recognized some obvious stress, on my part while awaiting the decision, he said he had made a "favorable decision". He went on to say that my case had been randomly selected for "Quality Assurance". Couple of questions for others, who have been through the SSDI process: 1. Does "favorable" mean that I have been approved or could there possibly be need for some higher level of decision? 2. What is the…

ptsd Ptsd Is Real
Was watching the H-channel they tried to pass it off as a gang banger gone wrong wihch I may have believed it if he was with others but he was clearly alone and on a one way mission period. They said the Vets records showed he was in Iraq and seen very little combat but just the same 1 event I'm sure could change your way of thinking. He was there during 03-04. as the story goes He was by him self with a SKS converted to full auto under a jacket acting strange, someone called the police, they never knew he had a weapon till they(bad ass cops) started to approach him screaming at him, he began to cut loose tactfully as if he was being ambushed and I called it as I was wat…

Ssa Reached A Decision!
Ok everyone, I spoke with the SSA DDS about 2 weeks ago and they said that a decision had been reached. They said that they couldn't tell me over the phone but it would be "mailed out tomorrow, or next week". That was 2 weeks ago and I still have not heard anything. Is this good, bad, or a call back again a see if they will give me an answer. What do you brothers and sisters think? This is driving me up the walls. jmack

Appt With Ssd Yesterday
For those of you that are going to apply for SSD perhaps this might help you. I called and got an appointment to take in my paperwork. This was the wrong thing to do, why, when I go there they are required to put it all in the computer anyway. The hard copies (paper) that I did was wasted time and effort. I looked at the app on line and knew it would not show how my condition disables me, after a lot of research on the internet I chose to go in person for this reason. I filled the app out and I also did my own additional paperwork. I reviewed what I had researched on the internet and prepared all the paperwork they could ask for at the begininng so I could b…

Va Nsc Disability + Social Security Questions
Just last Friday (Nov. 30th I think) I got the brown envelope from the VA. I've been granted a non-service connected disability pension. My question is two part, (1) Will that VA documentation etc. help in being able to get some form of Social Security benefits (I'm 57)? and (2) I've seen people here talking about Allsup, Inc. Are they good folks to work with in getting assistance? The VA said under 4. Entitlement to nonservice-connected pension (in part), "The evidence shows you are disabled due to disabilities of depression and anxiety, left hip disorder, lumbrosacral disorder, and skin disorder." Thanks in advance for any insight.

Can You Still File?
Please if someone could help us with this We would be very greatful. My brother had to stop working in Janaury of 2001 did not file until Feb 2005 because he was told he was getting an income from VA and could not get SSDI too. His Disablities have gotten worst. He worked up until 2001 and filed 2005. He was last insured on Dec 2003. Does this hurt him or can he file back to 2001? VA was trying to rehab him and it did not work during 2002. They just msde him PT 100 in June. Thanks and Happy Hollidays Lady C

Got Check From Ss But Larger Amount
My wife got her Social Security Check today and it was for $ 184 more than last months. We have received no information or correspondence and don't want to stir up a hornets nest either. Its also to soon for COLA although we were pretty sure pretty sure it will not be much more than 21 dollars for the COLA.
