I believe you generally have 4 yrs to appeal an SSDI denial. If it's been less than 4 yrs, I'd do an appeal rather than start a new claim but that also depends on your VA disability award date.

I was denied in May of this year. My VA award date goes back to Nov 09. Just recently got the letter for 100%, dated Oct 19 of this year.

Don't waste any time appeal asap.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

Also, keep in mind that SSA does not have to follow

in step with VBA evaluations/decisions and visa-versa.

Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

Also I would reccomend you find a "GOOD" SS disability attorney from your local area to help you win your SSD claim.

If you live in the Jurisdiction of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals then you're in luck. In a recent decision the court decided that Social Security must give GREAT WEIGHT to VA awards when considering SSDI awards.

Most denied SSDI claims are denied based on incomplete or unreadable paperwork or your disability doesn't fit into their guidelines.

Shoot to stop the threat or till the magazine is empty.

    • 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”
