bh1981 Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 Hello all...I just wanted to post a couple successes that just recently came through. The first is on the social security front. As soon as I became entitled to TDIU I applied for SSDI. at process took 4 months and required absolutely no medical or physical appointment in person. I just printed out the TDIU letter from ebenefits, downloaded my medical history from myhealthevet and printed it off, which was subsequently sent to Social Security. That process took 4 months and required absolutely no medical or physical appointment in person. Just a quick 10-15 minute phone call with a representative. I was awarded yesterday and applied initially February 24th. The other is the Total and Permanent Disability discharge for student loans. Again, I applied the second I was awarded TDIU and that, as well, came back as being discharged yesterday. My loans totaled $64,000! I feel very fortunate to have some of the resources that have been made available to me by this website. The joy I experienced yesterday was like Christmas, my birthday, and coming home from both of my deployments wrapped all into one! I wish you all the same amount of fortune.

Berta Posted June 19, 2015 Share Posted June 19, 2015 WONDERFUL NEWS.... I bet you had your ducks in a row for the TDIU claim...and they were well armed with Evidence! It is sad that SSA can award solely for SCs, in mere months, yet that evidence might take VA a year or more to render a proper TDIU decision. peaches79 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
