Alj Hearing Won!

[Rizing Sun]

Greetings,

Finally had my alj hearing, things went well. Actually the alj was not an evil man all..The lawyer and I went in, the

lawyer gave his brief, and the ALJ asked questions pertaining to my daily living. The Voc person

rattled off a few jobs that I could do, and the alj shot them down..

I was shocked to say the least. It was done, ALJ said he would approve a year before date of application.

The only advice I can give, is if your are at the hearing level dont go at it alone.

Medical evidence is a must. I would like to say thank you to all hadit members for posting

their experience, THATS WAS PRICELESS... B)

Now if I can just get this C&P out of the way for IU.....

Make sure the VA knows of the SSA award- I assume it is for same conditions claimed in your VA claim?

GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!

"Medical evidence is a must" You bet- and that cannot be stressed enough.

Congrats. Any Veteran who is 40% and is awarded Social Security probable is in order for an increase in VA rating. You should provide the VARO a copy and ask for 100% TDIU

Seems like all I do is ask questions. Here is another one. I am currently at 40% with the VA and was awarded another 10% sc for HBP, but was not give compensation for the HBP. Am I 40% or 50% disabled? This is all connected to diabetes type 2. Thanks for your help.

I fixed it for you. When you have a few more posts you will be able to edit your own. TBird had to do that cause of abuse on the site.

You should be able to get 100% in some form or another but you have to ask and you have to provide proof such as your Social Security award.If it has been less than a year appeal the last rating and ask for TDIU

Good Luck
