    question How long does Social Security processing take for a 100% T&P veteran?

    As a 100% T&P vet, I think I've given all the papers Social Security wants, or at least they haven't asked for more. I'm just trying to know how much time this will take because I need to make some money. A lot of what I get now goes to bills, but I have to keep things going.

    question When will Social Security send my check after a "fully favorable" decision?

    So, I'm pretty confused now... My lawyer showed me the judge's decision, which was entirely in my favor, and said it's currently with the writer.

    intro Finding more veteran benefits for my dad on Social Security

    I'm here. Just a daughter filled with concern, trying to do right by my dad who's an Army veteran and currently relies on only Social Security. I'm on the lookout hoping to uncover any additional benefits or support he might be eligible for... especially now as he's moving into his later years.

    question Should I bother applying for Social Security if I ain't at VA 100% P&T?

    I ain't VA 100%, but I'm wondering if it's even sensible to give filing for Social Security a shot. I see vets at full 100% getting denied left and right, so I'm hesitant to spend... like years... on a pursuit that might not be in my favor.
