I have applied for SSDI. I am still in the inital phase. The Army medical center (WBAMC) is not sending records and the disabilty determining agency did not request the records from VA. She says she didn't know to do that. Anyway, I faxed her my rating letter and the info to get records from VA. I ETSed in June and applied for SSDI in August and am still in the very first phase. They lost my birth certificate so I have to request another one. Just got my rating but will not see a dime til Jan 08 due to RCP from Army. I wish someone would have told me that my RCP would have to be paid back when I got VA disability.

I have 90% rating: arachnoiditis, PTSD, migraines, and a couple 10%ers. But they denied IU. They state current functional limitations involve no prolong standing, walking, sitting or running but there is no evidence your disabilities preclude all types of empoyment. You are considered capable of gainful empoyment. Can you believe that crap? Help! Thanks, Rbhracing
