Im New, Have Some ?s...........
Can anyone help me find info on how many male 100% VA rated receive SSD? Vs....how many women. I am 100% VA/female(since '81) and have been again denied SSd. I have attorney etc; he's had a judge rule favorably on the proceedural error (by the original judge) which re-opened the file. Judges in CO sat on my file nearly a year; lawyer took it back to SS who just denied it again. Lawyer will appeal. 1)-Im wanting to know if there is discrimination going on towards women vets. 2)-What is the norm for getting both VA and SSD? I feel pretty dehumanized. Thanks in advance for being here and any help you may be.

Recieved My Brown Envelope
Hello Everyone, I must say that I am feeling really estatic right now. I retired from the Navy Sept 06 and within that time I have been approved for SSDI the first time and reading some of these stories I am schocked that I was approved the first time and within 5 months from submission to payment. I was granted 70% when I submitted my claim Oct 06 with approval March 07. I knew that my decision should have been higher so instead of putting in an appeal and waiting years I reopened my claim in June 07 requesting an increase based on new medical evidence and also requested IU. I was denied IU, because they gave me SC 100% P&T!!!!!!! I currently have a daughter in co…

Favorable Decision
Not bad after fireing my attorney, getting a remand, and my wife thought the second Hearing didn't go so well saying "I thought he (ALJ) was being mean to you". This came about a year and a half after my VA award. I had the VA award before my first ALJ Hearing. But with a beginning date of may 2003 I'm looking forward to that first check. A big shout out to Hadit.com. Without the time and wisdom of T-bird and all members I would still believe there is little help out there for a Vet in sorry shape. I only hope that I have and can continue to give back to someone that needs it. Time
