Expedited Claim Process For Service Members

[*Bergie*]

Just came across this and wanted to pass it along. However, I think someone should inform SSDI of this new "policy."

Bergie, Looks like this is available for a very select group of vets.

Military service members can receive expedited processing of disability claims from Social Security. Benefits available through Social Security are different than those from the Department of Veterans Affairs and require a separate application.

The expedited process is used for military service members who become disabled while on active military service on or after October 1, 2001, regardless of where the disability occurs.

The following questions link to answers to questions most people ask about applying for disability benefits. Knowing the answers to these questions will help you understand the process.
