    question How hard is it for 100% P&T vets to get Social Security?

    I used to be P&T TDIU, but I had it changed because I needed to keep working. They dropped me down to 90%, but I've had another surgery for the same issue that's connected to my service. I'm just curious about what might happen if they decide to put me back at TDIU.

    question How hard is it for 100% P&T vets to get Social Security?

    Being 100% total and permanent by the VA, how hard is it to qualify for Social Security benefits too?

    question What are the best states to live in for a 100% disabled veteran?

    Texas was my home for a little while when I was younger. Thinking about going back, especially because of the veteran benefits, feels like I'm connecting my past with smart decisions for my future.

    question What are the best states to live in for a 100% disabled veteran?

    I'm not in a rush, but I'd like to know which states are the best for someone with a 100% DAV rating to move to. I'm from Hawaii and still live here, but the benefits for veterans like us aren't great. I'm thinking about moving to a different state to settle down in a few years. Thanks for any...

    question Filing for SSDI with a primary focus on mental health or all disabilities?

    I heard that you should only claim your main disability, not all of them (I'm a 100% disabled vet), and I'm claiming SSDI because of mental health. What papers do I need to give them? I'm really not sure what to ask for and think maybe I should just get a lawyer from the start. Thanks for helping.

    question Do dependents of veterans receive free or discounted dental care like at the VA?

    Just swung by the VA in Kansas City for a dental check-up, didn't cost a dime. Got me thinking, though, about whether our dependents get the same deal or maybe a discount on dental. Not sure if CHAMPVA covers dental or if our dependents can hit up the same dental services we do. Big thanks for...

    info Advice on resolving unintentional extra VA payments for a former spouse

    As 100% T&P, I've been receiving an additional $100 a month for my ex-wife since our divorce 4 years ago, a detail I neglected to update with the Veterans Affairs. While there are explanations for this oversight, I now find myself needing to address it without getting in trouble. Any advice on...

    question Options when a VA C&P exam date is changed multiple times

    QTC managed to knock out one exam, scheduling and finishing it all within a week early last month. But then the VA took over the other claims, and it's been a nightmare ever since. These last-minute changes keep throwing a wrench in my work schedule.

    question Options when a VA C&P exam date is changed multiple times

    How long is it okay to keep rescheduling VA C&P exams? My first one was set for January 11th, then moved to January 29th, then February 21st, and now March 1st, all because the examiner's been ill. Is there someone I can chat with, just in case the 4 Mar slot gets pushed again?

    It looks more difficult than it should be, but at least I should be saving $46. Much obliged.
