HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted June 25, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 25, 2008 Not so much tips but rant about Social Security. My experience with Social Security was good. It took 4 months two exams and I got it. The VA on the other hand was draconian it took over 5 years, 3 hearings, 3 C&P's, BVA Remand that I requested, Texas Senator and Congressman and an email to President Clinton. Also I had 2 IMO's that I paid for to help. No lawyers for either one. I found that after I got Social Security for something that started in Army I was not going to quit and trust me a lot of people told me over and over I would not win. So my advice is not to give up. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder allan Posted June 25, 2008 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 25, 2008 So my advice is not to give up? That's good advice Pete. I had a bit more difficulty getting Social Security, due to the diagnoses of "neumuscular disorder of unknown cause". I tried on my own, but soon realized I didn't have it together enough to process it. I won not long after an attorney took over the claim. It takes around a year or two after filing and it's common to be denied the first time around. I had VA Pension before I won SSI benefits. I found out some 10 years later the DVA and SSA worked it out so I would recieve VA pension and SSI. I disapointed SSA when I reopened on a CUE & won my SSDI award and 10 years of retro. Been going after SC, that the RO thought they had worked out in a nice little neat package with SSA. Don't give up and don't settle for their behind the back deals.
