Question
mrs rockman (widow of vet)
I will be turning 62 the last part of September. I know i can go on and fill out all of the paperwork online for this.
My question is, I will not be working after 08/05/11, due to my service connected disabilities and one other disability ( not recognized by VA yet).
The VA is sending me a letter that I will no longer be able to work after the 5th. (for the pulmonary disease).
By the way, our outside cardiologist put it in writing that the pulmonary affected my AO IHD. We are sending this in as new evidence.
The VA pulmonologist is the one writing the unable to work anymore.
We asked the VA pulmonologist if this disease affected my heart and he said yes. We asked if he would include this in our progress notes, he said yes, & and we did see him typing this. We have not gotten our records printed on this. I do hope that VA did not take this out of our records to protect themselves, but it would not surprise me at all. If it is in there, we will send both for new evidence.
Should I go on and file for SSI and then on 08/05/11, file for SSDI? I know that they will recognize the SSI first and then I would be assured of some money at least while I "wait the waiting game!!
Any ideas on this, for I need to start filing this weekend for SSI.
Help, I could really use some of your wise imput!!
