Broken soldier they didn't have to pull my SSDI information on my claim. I included my award letter with my claim packet. On my denial letter nothing about SSDI was referred to in the evidence section. How can I make sure they look at it this time since its included in my initial claim and wouldn't be new and relevant in my supplemental claim. That's why I thought I could mention it in the remarks section of the 21-8940 they are requesting again. Because in block 19 they ask if you left your job because of your disability and if yes comment or remark in block 26. I thought I could mention it here.

They do have to pull your SSDI information from the SSA because it's required that they do so. Your award letter is not the information they are looking at, there is a lot more to your SSA records than your award. Just put that information in the remarks- new and relevant doesn't just mean 'new' it also means 'relevant', i.e. some element of information already considered that was overlooked or not considered.
