I'm 100% VA P&T applied and denied by SSDI, I work because I have to currently but in a tremendous amount of pain but without the SSDI I can't stop working yet, damned if you do and damned if you don't
Because we are all paying into the pockets of POLITICIANS. Same with taxes, which were designed for better infrastructure, except it doesn't go to infrastructure, instead goes in THEIR pockets.
I have been rated TDIU P&T since March 2021. I applied for SSDI earlier this year and it has recently moved to the 3rd phase of the application process. My TDIU award letter clearly explained why the psychiatrist believes I am unable to work and also lists 14 conditions that justify the medical condition that qualifies the TDIU rating. I take all the medications that the VA prescribed as well as see a private psychiatrist who prescribes additional medications that the VA won’t prescribe. I am hopeful that the SSDI claim works out.
as a Vet with 100% TDIU all I can say is hire a lawyer for SSA benefits. I have been fighting the SSA for going on 10 years this October. Brian is right they dont sync they dont like one another HOWEVER... this is where the lawyer comes in but the VA and SSA do screw around with your records to benefit one another such as for my 100% I had 3 doctor's letter stating that i could not work and why as well as a limitation worksheet. At my ALJ level i finally hired a lawyer and found out for 6 years the SSA did not have those letters because the VA had Erased all but one letter since it was a basic letter and not detailing that is was a no work letter for benefits. My lawyer did drop me and the Appeals tribunal rejected my appeal for my ALJ case and i had to go to District federal appeals and that is a costly and very difficult case and not many lawyers will represent you, i was fortunate enough to find one who takes like 4 cases a year and he found a technical flaw, the SSA did not take into account my Fibromyalgia at all, indeed Fibromyalgia is not a qualifying disability however the symptoms are based on your person symptoms as well as how they impact you in a work setting and for me it was one if not the main reason why the military discharged me. so as above said get a lawyer yes they will take your back pay money but its still worth it because at the federal level your chances only dwindle even lower of getting them and the fee for the lawyer gets more expensive.
10 years ago I applied for SSDI, I was denied twice. I am 100% T&P at the age of 33 at the time. Now I received Monthly special compensation. I live in the state of Georgia. Also I had a lawyer at my ssdi hearings.

Three months, that's fantastic. I got caught in a mass firing at the Norfolk SS office. My records were shipped to philly where they were lost and I had to refile. It took me 2 1/2 years. But, I got back pay.
I had a brain injury with a skull fracture which lead to epilepsy vertigo tinnitus hearing loss facial paralysis short term memory loss and PTSD I receive both Social Security disability and 100% permanent and total
I applied for ss disability my employer denied injury happened at work. Herniated disc. We had a lawyer saved all paper work. Suitcase full. Contacted ss have doctors dates procedures these are necessary. And in the end restrictions. About 6 weeks check in mail. Save all paperwork As a note my lawyer offered to help me apply for social security disability but we figured we would attempt it on our own. A win. Good luck on yours. As a note I had Cigna disability insurance at work. That is another story.
Vets can make notes in the health care, messages, to doctor and that drops into your medical records for records I use it like a black book to keep track of all issues. Just a veteran FYI..
I am 100% T&P and I receive Social Security Disability for myself and my children. I have been receiving both since I was 33 although it took 2 years for Social Security because it's much harder to recieve and be approved the VA Disability. Ultimately I had to go in front of a Judge to plead my case, I also had a lawyer. It can take a very long time, in my case 2 years and also 2 years of not working.
Hi Angel Thanks for sharing your experience I and others that do this work have also found it difficult to get veterans with a 100% rating approved. Brian
Greetings I was just approved for ssdi as well I’m not sure if my children are added yet. How do I add them? Did you receive back pay for them as well?
@@nawabae for Social Security yes. When I applied I was only 33 years old and automatically denied basically. I personally had to go in front of a Judge tho separately from my attorney.
I'm total and permanent at 70% with individual unemployability through the VA. I'm paid at the 100% rate. I have a history of PTSD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, military sexual trauma and physical assulst in the army. Just contacted a lawyer to take my case for ssdi. Do I have a chance? I' have 11 years of documented institutionalization. Thank you for your videos sir.

Its been a while since you posted; how are things going? I have experienced everything you did and I am at 50%. The only reason I am on 50% is because some of my trauma came from things that happened before I enlisted. I receive both SS and VA compensation. It is a long process, even with an attorney I was not approved until 2-1/2 years later. I personally didn't try to push for a higher rating because when I go to the VA I see people from every generations with TBI, no arms, no legs or no eyes, stuff like that, and I feel they deserve that 100% so much more than I do.
Hi,I'll tell you my story now.when I was on the USS Saratoga I was in the catwalk repairing a fuel station.there was a E2 Hawkeye they had just spotted right in front of me.when the young sailor chalked the wheel instead of backing out he ran into the propeller.we found his eyeball in a padeye on the deck.anyway all his blood and guts completely covered my whole body. He was only a month out of boot camp.i guess the good thing is it happened so fast he probably didn't feel much pain..I now have severe ptsd from that event.the VA just denied my claim I haven't had my evaluation yet.its on the 17th of this month..they also said my DD214 didn't have my awards,ribbons and me medals on it which they are. I'm being represented by a law firm in West Virginia.what do think about that and do you think I have a chance at all. Thank you very much
More info: I cannot speak for other states, but I live in North Carolina and I just got a letter from social security yesterday, telling me this. --I am 100% P&T with the VA (70 + TDIU). My healthcare with the VA is more than sufficient. At 100% you even get dental. So, after my social security disability had been with me for a year, I was offered medicare at, like he said, $148 per month. I had no need for medicare. Sure, it would have been nice to expand my access to civilian doctors, but with my existing VA coverage, it wasn't worth spending money on medicare. So, I turned down medicare. Yesterday came the letter I opened up here talking about. The state of North Carolina pretty much insists that I have medicare to the point where, they are going to pay for it. So, I turned down medicare at a premium, and as a result I got medicare paid for by the state. That could be because I am 100% with the VA. OR, it could be because VA benefits are non taxable, making my official income only what I receive from social security. I have no idea which thing triggered this. But in the state of North Carolina, if your situation is exactly the same as mine...the state is going to pay your medicare premium and give it to you anyway, after you turn down the offer to buy it at $148 per month.
Hi Kennedy I have worked with many veterans in a similar situation. Medicare part B is optional. However, if you decline and do not have credible coverage like tri care then if you join later there is a penalty... Note that there are 2 ways to reduce or eliminate the part B cost.

I have been denied benefits from the VA twice so it has been suggested I should apply for SSDI. I am 76 and have several issues including COPD, Sleep APNEA, severe arthritis, Hypothyroidism and I lost a kidney to cancer even though I don't have the cancer gene. My mobility is not good as I have a damaged disc in my L2-3 and I am in pain 24 hours a day.
I’m 100% P&T I called Social Security and they said I wasn’t eligible for SSDI or SSI because she said I made to much money. Every time I call about a benefit they I don’t qualify I’m 74 and I get nothing from them except my normal check.a
When I began to draw my 100% disability from the Veterans Administration I went to the Social Security Office and they told me that I was too old to draw disability from Social Security
I had SSD when In was very young. I can't get SSDI now and have been denied 2 or 3 times. They said I need a hearing in front of a judge. I am not a criminal SSDI, and your letter is addressing me like one. I have a lawyer now to interpret for me .
Hi Michael here is how we can help.... Our Social Security Disability Approval course will help you understand exactly what your attorney should be doing to help you get approved so you can make certain they are doing what needs to be done to get you approved. The course includes six interviews with SSDI attorneys, A tell-all interview with a former SSA employee, A courtroom recording of a Disability judge. Contributions from 64 members. To get started go to bit.ly/34wviJY
I understand your question and the importance of clarifying how your Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) benefits are calculated. The Social Security Administration (SSA) calculates your SSDI benefits based on your lifetime average earnings covered by Social Security. They typically use your highest 35 years of earnings to calculate your average monthly income. If you have fewer than 35 years of earnings, the SSA will use all of the years. Non-working years are counted as zeros in the calculation. The SSA does not specify a starting age for these 35 years. So, if you started working and contributing to Social Security at age 18, those years should be included in the calculation. For a more detailed explanation of how your Disability Check amount is calculated, you can watch this video: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-iatGPwY63BY.html Remember, every situation is unique, and it's important to make the decision that's best for you.

Don't be! If you're a veteran and you're receiving VA disability benefits, you may also be eligible for SSDI. The two programs have different criteria, but if you're unable to work due to your disability, it's certainly worth applying. I understand that applying for SSDI might be a bit overwhelming, but I'm here to help you navigate through this process for free. We can start here: bit.ly/34wviJY.
I lost all but $67 a month social security.....made $355,000.00 one year and $4 million next.....IRMAA took it all away from me...folks, never make more than $99,000.00 annually.......they will get you too
Hey Brian, thank you for putting these informational videos online for us vets. I’m currently 90% VA rating. With 70% for PTSD. I also suffer lower back pain, with spondostenosis, spondolistesis, sciatica, DDD, torn ankle ligaments on both ankles with a deformed dominate hand left pinky. I haven’t even mentioned my migraines and others. Sorry about the blabbing. What would be a good concrete approach into winning SSDI for these illnesses/challenges ? Thank you once again.

Im unemployable by VA and SSI sent me a letter asking if I been talking to ny dr. About work. I said no sent copy of unemployable status and they said no need for further evaluation at this time.
@@godswill2260 i don’t know 🤷♂️ what to elaborate on. Was just making a point how ss wanted me reevaluated but i am deemed unemployable by VA so therefore I cannot work so why would i talk to my dr. About working. Sent ssi my benefits letter and they said oh your good.
The Escape Fire film is available for free on Tubi. I hope I didn't post this comment two or three times. I did it three times but it keeps disappearing. My luck suddenly all three will show up.
@@TheDisabilityDigest Every other site it was on was charging to watch it (understandable, but some of us don't have any money to pay). That's the only reason I commented on it.
Hate to say this but, the Social Security system as it is has given me the royal shaft. I'm a veteran who was medically discharged in 1999 after suffering a pulmonary embolism that nearly killed me and ended my military career. I was rated 70% disabled by the VA. I've been in and out of the hospital ever since for one issue or another. The last time I was able to work was in 2004. I never applied for SSD or SSI at the time as my wife was working and her income was more than enough to pay our expenses. Five years ago, She suffered a ruptured brain aneurysm which forced her to also retire from her profession.. Shortly afterwards, I was diagnosed with renal failure and put on dialysis. The VA then increased my disability rating to 100%. Since I haven't been able to work since 2004, I do not qualify under Social Security's rule of having "worked 5 of the last 10 years." My wife was denied SSD as well. Both of us spent years paying into Social Security. Now, when we need it, these little bureaucratic rules now prevent us from the help that we need, when we need it. We're both 60. Makes me wonder if we'll even be alive long enough to even be able to apply for Social Security benefits in 8 years.
Why don't u apply for ss at 62, especially with all your health issues going on! We're not guaranteed tomorrow plus their will be major changes to ss coming in the future, like continuing to raise FRA and an overall reduction in benefits due to fewer workers paying into ss system.

Since the VA is looking at more alternative medicine I wish they would add herbal supplements as treatment for medical problems. They do prescribe some nutritionals. I hate mainstream pharmaceuticals. They do not agree with me.

I know that 100% P&T Disabled Veterans can still work, but if a Veteran is collecting Social Security Disability, can they still work? Thank you for any info 🙏🏼

Q: are there any programs [i'm a veteran, and i get ssdi] for help on housing? i live in OH, {with the recent death of my mother}, i no longer have a reason to remain here: my cousin lives in Lutz, and she keeps begging me to move to FL, and I'm considering it! My sister is due to retire in a few years, and I'd like to have a place to call home for both of us! my care is through the VA, i have MS, Smoldering Multiple (i can't recall the full name - it's a blood disease), I've never used my VA home loan (if I had, my ex-wife would've snatched it from me!) so that's something to consider! My ex-son in law told me about a place in Jacksonville that provides housing for veterans, but have not found anything that resembles that!
I think cut the va budget and combine into social security disability so no one jealousy and just like everybody else but extra benefit for veteran injured service connected disability and authorized $1/ iteml in all military cafeteria or commisary í way better also they should allot atleast 5% of militsry housing for veteran so they dont sleep on street in the rain like ww1 in rat filled trench
@The Disability Digest Hi! And Thank you so much! Question! I am rated 70% by the VA and am documented as "total and permanently disabled," and "unemployable." This is all on my award's letter. Will I actually need more than that to qualify?!

veteran benefits help because they have good medical evidence. but bad because their medical evidence might not align because veterans always say they are good all the time. they try to avoid talking about their problems.
Is it because you have not worked 50 % or more of he last 10 years ? If you have worked it is not clear why you would not qualify. Look forward to your reply.
@@TheDisabilityDigest I have worked more than 50% in the past 10 years. I only not been working for about a year and a half. I was told that my military retirement $ would cancel SSDI out. SSDI would be $1900 a month and Mil Ret is $2200 a month. Never tried but some other RU-vid pages said that it’s an income issue. Sry for the late reply never received the notification.
Very good information, thank you. However, I would like to point out that the title and word Veteran has 3 syllables, not 2 (Vet-er-an). You are not pronouncing it correctly.
@@alphasuperior100 I am not but I earned the title of Veteran. So, I would like it pronounced correctly. You wouldn't call a Doctor as Dtor. You wouldn't call a Senator Nator. It is about respecting what is earned.
@Orbital Cooker Big fat old men that served 60 years ago are claiming hearing loss & snoring as service related disabilities. This is beyond ridiculous. Next they will be claiming 'gray hair' as service related.
