Hello Room: I just applied for SSI almost two months ago, when i applied i give them my entire medical records, I am UI since march of last year combined rating for 90% 50% for major headaches and 70% major depression as a result of the headaches. Since i have given them my entire medical records would it speed up the process someone or it that just wishfull thinking. Also i received paper work to fill out and send back it had to do with my headaches and how they affect my lifestyle, i would appreicate any input thanks.

Sounds like you probably got SSDI and they went back a year prior to your application. They would want your son's info because he will be getting a check also.

SSDI assumes that you cannot work for a year. The Social Security Department will review your claim periodically and either continue it or make you prove it again.

In rare cases a Veteran can have SSD for one reason and VA for another.

What is the opinion of applying or waiting for your rating

I have plenty of documentation for PTSD, social and employment impairment

Plenty of information were an acute bladder problem is causing me not to fumction

In both cases they are preventing me to do the work descripted by the SSN Administration

Should I apply or wait.

Apply for SSD you will probably get it before you get VA
