tdiu Which One Should I Be Applying For

[navydoc2]

I have questions about social security but I want to use the right terminology before I ask. Should I be applying for both SSI or SSD I am recieving VA benefits at 100% TDIU does this disqualify me for either or both? Also I have the paperwork for the determination division what should I say and how do I word it from my friends part. thanks

navy,

Since you are getting va compensation at 100 % that would make SSI

moot as part of the criteria is income based, so if you have an employment

record then you would file for SSD.

As long you have worked five years of the last ten. I believe that this is the formula. Check out the SSA web page it should explain there.

There are small gaps in there due relocation but I've worked what you have said five of the last ten. So I should not even send in the SSI forms?

navy,

Send in SSD form.

I agree with Carlie, file and let the SSA figure out the rest if you are unsure. Or contact a SS disability lawyer.
