Mikemmlj Posted September 25, 2014 Share Posted September 25, 2014 Social Security called me today and asked a bunch of questions. They said my effective date would be 06 July for disability and they said since I'm 100% but not P&T that means they have to get more records from the VA. Any input appreciated.

0 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted September 26, 2014 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 26, 2014 Interesting that they gave you an effective date, but then turned around and said they needed more records. Did they say if you were approved? Also, how long ago did you submit your application? I heard that 100% P&T gets priority handling. If you have been 100% more than 5 years or if you are (not sure about this) 55 or 65, you might be able to ask the VA to bump it up to P&T status. That could help too.

0 NavyWife Posted September 26, 2014 Share Posted September 26, 2014 Wow, that's fast! One step closer to getting approved for SSDI and hopefully getting those student loans discharged! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mikemmlj Posted September 26, 2014 Author Share Posted September 26, 2014 Just got 100% a month ago. I want to bring my records down especially my C&P results and my decision rating but SSA says no need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted September 26, 2014 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 26, 2014 I suggest that you get copies of your medical records from VAMC and a copy of your award letter and get it to social security. No telling how long it would take VA to get copies to SS. Good Luck. I would also ask SS to consider the effective date VA gave if it is earlier than July 6th Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

0 ctbenja1015 Posted October 26, 2014 Share Posted October 26, 2014 Probably want to know what condition(s) the VA feels may not be permanent. I wouldn't sweat it, but having hard copies of all VA records is good advice too. 100% Service Connected P&T, SSDI 70% PTSD 50% Sleep Apnea 10% Left Shoulder Sprain 10% Right Shoulder Sprain 10% Bilateral Plantar Fasciitis 10% Cervical Arthritis 20% Upper-left Radiculopathy 20% Upper-Right Radiculopathy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
