    question Can an 80% Disabled Vet at 60 Apply for Social Security?

    My dad's VA disability rating is at 80%, and he's 60 years old. He finds it harder to work these days because of his disability. Can he sign up for Social Security?

    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 Will SSDI impact my current VA disability benefits?

    Nope. Our family gets both SSDI and 100% T&P from the VA.

    question Can I still apply for TDIU after initially declining and being denied SSDI?

    When I first asked for VA disability, they said I could get TDIU, but I didn't take it. Now, I applied for SSDI and they said no. I've fixed my papers for them to look again. Can I still try to get TDIU from the VA, or did I miss my chance? It seems like the VA might say yes more easily than SSDI.

    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 Why is getting Social Security benefits for those with PTSD so hard?

    Why is getting help from Social Security for PTSD so difficult? It shouldn't be this hard!

    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 Does this SSDI/SSI reconsideration appeal review process look promising?

    Can you share your thoughts on whether this SSDI/SSI reconsideration appeal review process looks hopeful? I need some good vibes too. My anxiety is almost at panic level.

    question How does being on SSDI affect chances of receiving a VA disability rating?

    If I'm already on SSDI, what are the odds the VA will give me a disability rating, especially if my condition's not getting any better?

    question What can I do if my SSDI onset date isn't what I expected?

    I was approved for SSDI, but the onset date they assigned wasn't what I expected. What are my options?

    question Should I apply for SSDI/SSI with plantar fasciitis, carpal tunnel, and back issues?

    Has anyone successfully received SSDI / SSI benefits for conditions such as carpal tunnel or plantar fasciitis? I'm also dealing with neck and back problems that affect my sleep, leading to frequent numbness in my hands. Would it be smart to apply?

    question Can I Receive Both SSDI and SSI Due to Inconsistent Employment?

    It appears I need to apply for SSDI because my employment is inconsistent, and I will struggle to manage without an additional income source or SSDI. Can one receive both SSDI and SSI?

    question Can a 100% P&T VA rating expedite SSDI applications already in process?

    I understand that having a 100% P&T VA rating can expedite my SSDI application. I live in Illinois, and recently, I was informed by a call that my local office has nearly completed my paperwork, which is now on its way to Springfield for the final decision. They mentioned that this final step...

    question Do SSI/SSDI use VA records only?

    SSI/SSDI stuff: They just go off your VA medical records, or do they make you do another check-up? And do they count the benefits you already get when they're figuring out if you qualify for SSI/SSDI?

    question When will I be informed about SSDI back pay if it's not mentioned in my award letter?

    In my award letter, there's no mention of back pay, just the monthly payment amount. When will I be informed about the back pay?

    question SSDI Income Reporting Not Required?

    I got in touch with SSA the other day to declare my January earnings. I receive SSDI benefits. The representative informed me that reporting my monthly income wasn't necessary?

    discuss Vet needs advice with SSDI app

    Hey everyone! Just began the process for SSDI application with a lawyer's help. I'm a veteran at 100% P&T. Wondering if anyone's got experience with similar health issues (PTSD, headaches, Obstructive Sleep Apnea, Knee Osteoarthritis). Feeling a bit jittery about it, appreciate any insights...

    question SSDI if 100% T & P?

    Hey everyone, has anyone 100% T & P and got SSDI without hiring a lawyer? Additionally, is the benefit amount different with or without 100% T & P?
