Question

Please tell me, Sir...
Have you all submitted and approved for disabled veterans on social security to be able to work to suffice the medial incomes while awaiting veterans claims? I requested PTSD with Sexual Traumas as advised by my medical team. Then told to apply for unemployability with 2 years of inactive employment...I have been unemployeed 5 years and denied the 2,500.00 per month entitlement. Furthermore, I am continuously denied my claims pending after being awarded the minimum of l0 percent for my back which was injured during my stint of 76-78 in Fort Meade, Maryland...They only awarded me back to l995...I assumed that this should have reflected an award of May 3, l980. Meanwhile, while they only awarded me the minimum of l0 percent for arthritis, I have had 2 hip replacements for the degeneration and now have a degenerated disc in my spine...This is a travesty. And is there a Sister-Administration Act? VA/SSA, 2 entities of ONE GOVERNMENT? With differing guidelines?

Answer 1

well yes, the VA and Social Security are separate, and any claims for disability with either are handled separatly,,,, i would suggest, if you havent, to contact an attorney who specializes in these type cases,,,,, especially for the back pay,,,, yes the attorney will keep a percentage of the money you get,,,,atleast of any settlement/back pay, but they will help you get and know what all you qualify for,,,,,, i know with Social Security, they most always turn people down first,,,,, then you have to appeal,,,,,good luck!
