%'s Of Remanded Claims Approved?
I was wondering if anyone knew the percent of claims won after being denied at the ALJ level? I'm sure it's small. Most Vets seem to say SSDI was easier than VA claims, especially after being awarded 100% but that has not been my experience. With 100% P&T decision AND a decision that I'm not competent to handle my finiances (with the two C&P Doctors reports to go with them) I was denied by the ALJ. I did send it for review and won a remand. Getting a remand is a low percentage as it is. But, even with overwhelming evidence, I know Judges are not in the habit of overturning each other. So I'm on the fence on this one. If this fails, the only step left is a la…

Got Approved For Ssdi Medical Requirements Waiint On Non Medical?
I'm kind of curious about the letter I recieved that states they will make a decision on my non-medical requirements soon. Second notice to come? Is it typical to receive this second notice or does that mean there is an issue with my work credits and it will get denied? I had an in office visit with SS and was denied first, then hired a lawyer, as I didn't have the patience to deal with the SSDI office as dealing with the VARO about sent me off the deep end for good. Unfortunately for me my attorney is out of the office this week. She stands to make about 12-18 grand on me, and she is out of the office? LOL. Oh too much. Does anyone know if the Lawyer get…

Ssa Disability Letters
Greetings to All Does anyone know the quickest method to get copies of the veterans SSA Disability letter??? Is there a particular form number for this. I have tried the SSA 800 number, and ran into a "brick wall" as far as what is the best way to get copies of this. Does the VA have a direct line to SSA to get these files for IU claims, or should the Veteran get involved in trying to get copies of these. Your assistance in this matter will be greatly appreciated. Thanks Doc

100% P/t (why Bother)?
Hey All, Help me to understand this one. You are rated 100% p/t but one of your sc conditions has worsened, possibly enough for an individual 100% alone, not SMC eligible, why bother going for an increased rating? Am I missing something here or is there additional compensation available? jmack

tdiu Appear At A Alj Hearing Or Not?
I am quite confused about which box to check here. I really don't want to have to appear a hearing unless absolutely necessary. I am sending a lot ( and I mean a lot ) of paperwork that is in my favor from doctors, etc. I also have 60% and TDIU P&T,with the award letter to send (and still have pending claims with the VA). I am sending about 40 plus pages of doctors notes, symptoms, conditions and diagnosises, MRI's, diagnoses and a 2 page letter from me on my symptoms and why I feel I the denial should be approved. Do you think that this is enough to check the box to request a decision be made based on evidence in my case or should I just check the box to go to a…
