Voc rehab counselor wants me to apply for SSDI

Thanks for all the advice. -
Voc rehab counselor wants me to apply for SSDI
Fearless replied to Fearless's topic in Social Security Disability Questions
So I should look for a lawyer that specializes in SSDI? -
Hello everyone. I qualified for voc rehab, and my counselor gave me three options. The three options: Independent living program Extended contact (she will call me each month and see how i'm doing) reapply another time She understands that my problems are more mental, and I told her that my chronic back pain and flat feet did not prevent me from getting around the house and living independently. I see a therapist once a week, so I think the extended contact would be useless. I'm 100% sc non p&t at the moment. Thanks for reading, Fearless

Not quite ED but the opposite question
Fearless replied to Riplip's question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
Hahaha I love this place. @Riplip I take antidepressants and I have this problem. I'm not a doctor, but I read on the internet that antidepressants can cause this. I'm in my 20's and this is problematic. -
Supplemental claim issues
Fearless replied to Rickyfinch's question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
I have a supplemental claim open. It states, " We dont know your status" and " 1 compensation issue". I called the VA instead and got the status on my claim. -
Drove 30 mins down to the VA hostpital just to be told that they cancelled my appointment. I'm angry. I called regional to see why this happened, and now they are giving me the runaround.

Should I fight for PTSD?
Fearless replied to Fearless's question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
@Buck52 I'm dx with Major depression, recurrent with psychotic features & unspecified anxiety disorder @GeekySquid I didn't think that I had PTSD because I never saw combat. My LCSW explained to me that combat was not the only way someone could get PTSD, and that I fit the criteria for non combat PTSD. I still feel a little denial, but everything we discuss during therapy points to PTSD. The funny thing is that she dx me with PTSD and the shrink says it is not true PTSD because I never saw combat. He says I experienced trauma, but doesn't want to call it PTSD. Thanks all for the response. -
Hello everyone. Some background info: I have a 70% SC rating for Major depression I'm diagnosed with Major depression and unspecified anxiety disorder. My LCSW said that I suffer from PTSD and that my depression and anxiety are all symptoms of it. She was baffled as to why the VA has not added PTSD to my problems list. Should I even bother with getting this changed to PTSD , or hold what I got?
