Question
halos2
Been helping a VV vet since 07 with claim...first 30% then over a few years getting worse, another C&P and raised to 50%. Progressively gotten worse. Terminated from job and put in new claim and he did a claim for SSA in Nov 2010. Went into hospital PTSD Treatment program almost 2 months, inpatient stay all days and nights. Continued to receive SSA and 50% VA. No info received from VA...VSO says no movement...requested new C&P exam...waited...finally got in touch with Congressman. Within 3 months new exam C&P for PTSD scheduled. Went to exam and approximately over 1 month granted 70%( had also put in TDIU over 2 years ago)...then 3 days later granted IU with date of exam !! Put in for earlier effective date. Waiting and putting a NOD in a month or so as he had put in for SSDI during this time too. SSDI awarded 4 days after veterans SSA hearing, and effective date used was date vet was terminated. They used all vets records and files to make their decision.(Date put in for SSDI was about 6 months or so post termination date). So the SSA determined termination date as date to use for granting. They could not understand how VA did not grant VA claim earlier...Retro received a few days after granting...all total was 7 days from hearing to receiving grant letter to receiving deposit in the bank. Anyone else this lucky with the SSA? It also didn't hurt that the veteran had an excellent work record prior...even though vet quit jobs within 2 different places over 7 years he kept his sales and income up for the businesses, until his PTSD got so bad he could no longer hide his symptoms!
