  1. Hi vwclyde1

    There is no need to report your VA comp to the SSA. It is not considered income, it is compensation.

    When my husband rang to tell them, they kind of just said "that's nice".

    Make sure you have reported your years of military service to SSA though as this can effect you SSD. Years of service can be applied SS credits, which can raise the amount of SSD you get.

    Like other have said, try and get copies of your SSDI decision and use this as a basis for TDIU.

    thanks for the advise

  2. The only reason I asked is because all of the SSA claims I have ever read were granted by specific diagnosis/s.

    It was odd to me also that SSA didn't write in the Dr. exam specific diagnosis. I've been back to SSA ofice to get a more detailed diagnosis to no avail, I received a ltr (with SSA STAMP) stating I'm receiving SSA for "Lower Back Disorder" .

    thanks for reply

  3. vwclyde,

    VA disability and SSDI are totally separate.

    You can receive both as one has no effect on the other.

    It is SSI that is income limited and would be affected by VA disability money.

    There is really no reason you would need to report your VA disability to SSA.

    What is your current 30 % SC for ?

    There may be medical evidence in your SSA claim that could help support

    your issue of "low back disorder" at the VA, so you might want to submit a copy

    of this evidence to the VBA along with a ROI to them.

    Keep in mind that inorder to grant SSA claims - all that has to be proven is that

    you are disabled according to SSA criteria - regardless of how and why you

    have the disabling condition/s.

    With VBA disability, the condition has to be adjudicated as something due to active duty /

    presumptive or secondary to an already SC'd disability.

    I would be interested in reading what you were actually granted the SSD for

    as I feel surely it's not listed with SSA as merely "low back disorder".

    I hope the claim you have with VBA is more specific than "low back disorder" as

    that would probably be easier if made more specific.

    JMHO

    My 30% is for PTSD. And yes my SSD exam was for "low back disorder" my claim with VA is for DDD, had C&P exam 20 Jan 11 was very favorable, I just found out it is at the rating board as I type. thanks for your reply

  4. I have been receiving ssd for lower back disorder since 2008 (100%) have not worked since. My claim for lower back disorder (spine) is in the development stage with VA.

    If I am granted my claim how does it affect my SSD?

    Do I report my rating to SSD?

    What is the advantage of reporting it? What other benefits will I receive?

    thanks

  5. Diagnostic Code is for Hearing loss.

    Diagnostic Code 6100 provides rating formulas based on

    quantitative measures of pure tone audiometry testing and

    controlled speech discrimination.

    carlie

    thank you carlie now i know

  6. thanks carlie, this is the rated disability: IMPAIRED HEARING, Percent 0%, SC=yes, DX Code 6100, I have read the information you provided, I just have not found the diagnostic code 6100 explained, I have founded the 6200 codes. thank you again, any information is greatly welcome

  7. 6260 Tinnitus, recurrent........................................ 10

    Note (1): A separate evaluation for tinnitus may be combined

    with an evaluation under diagnostic codes 6100, 6200, 6204,

    or other diagnostic code, except when tinnitus supports an

    evaluation under one of those diagnostic codes.

    Note (2): Assign only a single evaluation for recurrent

    tinnitus, whether the sound is perceived in one ear, both

    ears, or in the head.

    Note (3): Do not evaluate objective tinnitus (in which the

    sound is audible to other people and has a definable cause

    that may or may not be pathologic) under this diagnostic

    code, but evaluate it as part of any underlying condition

    causing it.

    thank you, now what is just DX6100?
