HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted September 14, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 14, 2010 You will be able to get medicare also. This is a big help when the VA tells you that you have to wait a year to see a back surgeon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Testvet Posted September 15, 2010 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 15, 2010 congrats I know the wait seems absurd but there are places i this nation where some people would be really happy about an 18 month wait sone palces wait from 2-3 years before winning their claims and in some cases to be told NO again I am glad you won I also have a bad back but that is not why I am disabled mine is shot from L3-S1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

halos2 Posted September 15, 2010 Share Posted September 15, 2010 Glad you got some good news here. Rememer the 5 mths waiting period too. So tell me are these issues the exact same as the ones you were granted awards for from the VA? Were they service related? Just curious as the VA has to have VA documentation and SSDI have to have injuries validated during your lifetime, not necessarily va related. Hope you have a little left after credit card pmts, to get/do something nice for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
