Do You Think That I Can Get Permanent And Total Using:

[Cherie33]

I received a letter from Social Security stating "Notice of Attorney Advisor Decision - Fully Favorable" dated Aug 21, 2009. (Basically, I was awarded ssdi from Jan 1, 2006)

Does anyone think that I can use this as evidence of being Permanent and Total? I am already 70% + IU.

Thanks,

Teac pointed out what I called one of the "Weasel excuses to deny". (The Va has hundreds of these). What they are saying is that even tho SS awarded disability for SC conditions, the VA has a different defination of disability than SS does, so they are denying you using the "weasel" excuse.

I haven't been denied for P & T yet, because I haven't filed a claim for that. My question was, could I use my Social Security award letter (in which all of the medical evidence came from the same evidence the VA used to award my 70% + IU.) However, I've been told that I would need to get letters from my doctors stating that my service connected disabilities are static in nature. Which I think is rediculous that the VA would want to take me through those changes, when they used the exact same evidence to award me with 70% + Individual Unemployability. Wow, what a country I served!
