Berta Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 This is great and you deserve this award. Wonderful news Calnight! And it probably came at a good time. Might take them time to send the $$$$$ but at least you know it is on it's way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michelle Posted November 23, 2006 Share Posted November 23, 2006 Hay Everyone: I got my first denial letter from SSA for Social Security Disability due to PTSD, Bi-polar, Anxiety, Major Depressive Disorder and Chronic Peripheral Polynueropathy (They have a lot of Medical Documentation of all of these things) and then I see they awarded here approval for PTSD. I have a good Disability Group of Social Security Experts (lawyers, etc) They told me not to worry that almost everyone gets turned down the first time and they wouldn't have taken my case if they thought I was not going to win. I just wonder how some can get approved for PTSD and others not...At any rate they are taking care of filing the reconsideration papers, etc.. I'm still waiting on a decision from VA on my increase due to IU and T&P..should be anyday now. Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 23, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 23, 2006 Calnight I would hand deliver the SSDI award letter to your local VARO in support of your IU. Get them to make a copy and have it date stamped. Take no chances with these bastards. This is very heavy evidence and should be the seal on you IU. If the VA has accepted the fact you have service connected PTSD the SSDI award is proof that it has made you IU. I went the same way. I got the SSDI first for a combination of mental jazz and the VA then eventually rated me IU. They tried to wriggle out of it to the very end. Many of us here got SSDI before we were rated 100% or IU for our SC condition. This should not be but the VA stalls and stalls. The standards for SSDI are higher than for IU but the VA is harder to navigate since we have no lawyers most of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sometimes takes a couple of tries when your dealing with SSA. It won't take long just keep you doctor appt. and keep doing what ya gotta do. :D Jangrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
