[Maurice]

Hello Veterans Friends, Should a UI disable Veteran applied for SSDI for the 3th times? He 55 year old veteran that can't work and could help take care of his wife and himself.

If he has enough earned credits over the last 5 yrs worked than he should file for SSDI. He can call Social security and get an earnings record printout to find out if he qualifies.

Absolutely, Maurice.

If he has Individual Unemployability be sure to include that letter and any doctor's letters stating why he can't work.

And try to do more preparation or get a lawyer.

Instead of re-applying all the time, try appealing. My suggestion-an attorney or agency that helps such as Allsup. You have to pay an attorney if you win anyway. It's well worth the headache especially if they do all the paperwork and get all the necessary documentation.

WHY was he denied the first two times? The answer to that question should be the answer to the question that you just asked, Maurice. If you can overcome the first two denials, then for sure file again. Just don't keep beating on a dead horse!
