Barbamatt Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 I went to my ALJ hearing for SSDI on Wed June 18, 2014. The judge said that he was going to find me fully favorable right there on the spot. I was surprised. I didn't even have to testify much...he only asked me one question about the date I became disabled. It was a long fought battle, now all I have to do is wait on an official determination letter...it is based on my SC disorder of MDD/Anxiety. I also get VA compensation at a total of 60% MDD 50% Migraines 10% IBS 10% I would try for a rate increase, but am afraid that they will lower it instead. I started at 0% on MDD...then went up to 30% and now I'm at 50% It took a lot out of me to get this much....but I am hanging in there. The SSDI is a big victory for me...and I am happy about that. Well, as happy as a depressed person can get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted June 26, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 26, 2014 Now that you're disabled for SSDI you should request the VA give you an extra-scheduler rating of TDIU and provide them w/you SSDI award letter. You should get TDIU, now. pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
