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

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

I will send in the SSD form. Thanks carlie and poolguy

navydoc2,

You might want to look at the following topic since it offers information about filing SSD. You might see something that could aid you.

SSI is basically welfare for the disabled. You have to be really poor to get it.

Yeah I don't think that I qualify, since I start getting TDIU starting 1 Oct. thanks books I will check that out.

navydoc2,

TDIU does not factor into SSD. My hubby gets TDIU as well as SSD.

TDIU is compensation via the VA, which is non-taxable by the way.

Since TDIU is compensation, it does not impact the SS side as income to be considered.

Others more knowledgeable could answer better, but just wanted to let you know that.

SSD is also disability which is a different criteria from SSI. What you are basically requesting from SS is that they provide you with your earned income from SS earlier than retirement age. If you are deemed disabled, then what you would have gotten at the legal retirement age will be provided under SSD's title until you reach retirement age. Then the bookkeeping is transferred to SS but the amount stays the same (just SS's accounting switches, not yours). (just a note: SS income, whatever form is subject to tax under specific to SS requirements)

Talk to your local SS office. They will be able to explain in better detail than I ever could.

I wish you success.

I will hand carry my paperwork to the office tomorrow, I as carlie and john said don't qualify for SSI but I think I'm a good candidate for SSD. thanks again books
