Denied Ssi

Rate this question


Question

Posted

I have applied for SSDI based on my 100% P&T TDIU rating from the VA. Today I got a letter from social security stating I have been denied SSI because I make to much money. That is OK since I never applied for SSI. Do you thank this is a just a form letter they send out and has nothing to do with my SSDI claim.

If the letter does not contain anything regarding SSDI - I would call SSA and ask about it.

JMHO

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

It is common that when a person files for SSDI, SSA will have them sign a bunch of papers and they could have signed you up for SSI even though you make too much money. It is normal for a 50% to 100% veteran to be denied a claim for SSI due to income and it has nothing to do with SSDI. You should still call SSA to make sure that you still have a pending claims for SSDI. SSI and SSDI are two different claims.

Its been over 20 years but that is same thing Social Security did to me. Denied me for something I did not apply for.

Its nothing to worry about but like Carlie says call them and have them explain it to you.

Why worry be happy.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Did you apply on line or mail or in person? Perhaps one misread what you were applying for. Call or stop by office.

Captain,

SS told me when I applied for SSDI it was standard to also put me in for SSI and that I would be denied.

It was just a formality and nothing to worry about; it has no bearing on your SSDI claim.

I wish you a speedy and positive outcome! :smile:

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
