ptsd Should I Apply

[Hollis]

OK I got a notice that I should start another topic. Sorry wasn't trying to hi jack the other one.

I am 50% disable and will be 64 this June, I would like the opinion(s) of other Vet as what I should do. I am retired from the Govt.work force GS10 under the old retirement sysytem CSRS. My SS check is small since the Govt takes more than 50% back under the Windfall Tax clause. In my career in the govt I never paid into SS, but my other jobs I had I did and that is why I am able to draw SS. So should I file for SSD since I am 50% or just wait and see if I get more rate increase under PTSD which I am in group session for now. And will see my srink Dr in May.

I am not familiar with the offset terms but what harm could it do??? I feel at worst you wouldn't get any more and at best you would. I'd apply and appeal, appeal, appeal. jmo
