tdiu Flat Out Denied

[drm65]

I am tdiu service connected at 100%, but the ssdi denied me, I seemed to get a generic letter from them denying me, Im not even sure what they looked at, I dont think they looked at my full va medical records, should I just get a lawyer for the appeal, any good lawyers out there?

My husband is rated 100% schedular disabled, not TDIU. We contacted Binder and Binder in NYC to handle the Social Security disability application at the very start of the application process, we did not wait around for a first-time denial. Binder and Binder won't take a case unless they believe they can win it, and they don't get paid unless you win your SS disability claim -- no money is due up front. My husband's application was approved on the first go-around. They do nothing but SS disability applications and they're excellent at it.

We never met with them in person (we live down south, not in the northeast). Everything was done through the mail, over the phone, e-mail or fax. I can't say enough good about their thoroughness and professionalism. Should the application have been denied, they would have assigned a local attorney to represent my husband at the ALJ hearing locally, but fortunately, we never needed one.

They filed the initial application in September, the approval letter came the following February (coverage began in March), and the out of pocket cost (since there was no appeal and no retro accrued)was $1,000. It was worth every penny.

Good luck. Seems like SS is worse than VA????? I declined the hassle, when I had that window open up for me, many years ago.

DRM - Appeal the decision! Social Security is hoping you will take the decision and go away.Big Dan.

Every town has a SSA lawyer. It is big business. The system is actually employment security for many lawyers and judges. Most who get SSD get lawyers. I got lucky and got it the first go round. Of course, my doctors wrote reports that made me seem just a little bit more capable than a cabbage. If I had been a horse they would have shot me.
