I agree Charles and I cant thank you enough for the service you do. Thanks for watching

Fukn right brother hopes and prayers are with you hoo-ah

Was that 26 years from the Army? What is your VA rating if you don’t mind sharing?

I was in for 26 years, my VA rating is 100% due to unemployability. SSDI has a different rating system, they make it so you NEED a lawyer to get it, but it's worth it.

Great advise. Have your read the book RELENTLESS?

100% correct

Yep, it took me 8 years to get myself to 100%. LOTS of doctors' appointment.

Absolutely, their service and sacrifices for our nation deserve the utmost respect and recognition. Thank you for your support in honoring these brave individuals.

Much appreciated

Awesome! Thank you!

Thanks for the offer, I am in Virginia. How can we touch we get in touch with you?

Thanks for the contribution

Thank you for all you do. Hoping everything goes in your favor. Thank you for watching!

I'm in the same exact boat

If you show them your dd214 and a disability award letter from the VA, you can ask for the expedited process. However, as crappy as it is to wait, the longer you wait the better the back pay can be if you get approved. Good luck brother, hope you find out soon if you haven't already and the results are in your favor.

I'm fighting with ss now I'm 100%and had ssi now they say I've improved but I'm not ss stop my ssi in 2016 and been fighting with them to get it back keep getting denied

@@TheDisabilityDigest I did! Good til 2028. I could use some guidance on Medicare

Hi. Good questions! To learn more about what income affects your check and how much you can make (SGA), watch this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/osyleZulvrnWmI0.html.

@@TheDisabilityDigest Thanks! Will do...

Wishing you the best Bill

Yes, that is an option. But what if all of you records do not make it into the file?

SS not SSI

Did you try getting the records yourself? That’s what I’d recommend, then appeal.

We have 4 tips on our KZfaq Channel The Disability Digest that will help you with your CDR. Search this channel for CDR. A comprehensive CDR course is being released to members in order of priority. To get or update your Free Disability Digest Membership. Go to: bit.ly/34wviJY

@@TheDisabilityDigest So, you don't have any forms you talk about in your videos for Disability Digest members?🤔

Great advice

The exact time depends on how long it takes to get your medical records and any other evidence SSA needs to make a decision.

Sorry I didn't follow up.......Denied.... I'll wait till I turn 62 and start my ss......screw all the other bs...

Wow! I’ve been waiting 18 months and 6 days! I applied at the beginning of August 2021. I have an insane amount of medical documents though so maybe that’s the reason.

Your question is not clear. Please provide more detail

Is there any advantage to being granted Individual Unemployability, from the VA, when applying for SSDI? Also, would a neuropsyche eval from a civilian psychologist carry more weight than a VA/military psychologist?

Hi. We focus on helping people with their social security disability income, and I'm not familiar with the railroad system so I'm not able to comment on the difference. Thanks.

Thanks Anthony, thank you for all you do.

It possible if you can prove it

The best time to apply is after you have stopped working

At 18 i was in Germany and developed a bad drinking problem, a good friend got me to ask for help , i talked to a counselor 2 times, 45 minutes each, they shiped me home ! I wasnt home 30 days and was in jail and have had a bunch of drinking charges ! All i wanted was help and to be a career soldier !

Please go to your local VA hospital and request to see an orthopedic for your knees and shoulders; and a psychiatrist for your mental health. But you have to be diagnosed first. Your illnesses could be service connected.

I'm not sure that Medicare can be billed for services under VA authorization, because that is a VA responsibility. VA hospitals themselves can not bill Medicare. But this is not your problem.

Hi Doug thanks for sharing. It is good practice to get confirmation of payment before the appointment. Do you have a Medicare advantage plan? or just Medicare A and B basic

@@TheDisabilityDigest I have part “A” I don’t have part “B”. I do have a “F” supplement . Talking with my VA doctor, we decided that I could just continue with what I’ve been doing. So, the best thing I can say, is the VA does furnish all of my medications.

I’m sorry, I have both “A&B”. I don’t have part “D”.

So sorry to hear that

For 2022 you can earn $970 a month and keep your Social Security Disability benefits. The $970 is gross if you are a W-2 employee or net after expenses if you are self-employed filing 1099. The video on the website below shows you the SSA regulation: www.thedisabilitydigest.com/how-much-i-can-make

I agree that is why we do events like this kzfaq.infoSGPiUR89XQc

Room for improvement at SSA for sure.

Please explain, would love to know why you think this?

@@chriswilliamson806 veterans that own houses cannot take advantage of the sweet tax breaks like free installation of solar panels, because they dont pay taxes without jobs

@DEFECTiVE well, let me give you my 2 cents.. I'm a DV.. I also bought my home 2 years ago. I'm 43, and had several surgeries from my service. Your comment that we don't pay taxes, as a reason is laughable. I'm disabled because of my service to the country. There's a reason why veterans get disability tax free. Same as most benefits from the federal government. You think being in the military that they make a lot of money? I still paid taxes while on active duty, and when i applied on my payment record. The government said they couldn't use that information.

@@chriswilliamson806 do you think that because your disability, injury, or hurt came from your time serving the country that they owe you. i think that ssdi should not be taxed but va should. im a 100% disabled va medically retired veteran. i think it should be taxed.

@DEFECTiVE I was medically retired. No one says you can't calculate what the tax rate is on your rating would be, and give that back or donate it. That's your choice. I had over 11 years when I got injured, and had 3 neck surgeries costing over $700k to fix what was done to me while serving my country. So, no I don't think VA disability should be taxed. When I retired, my retirement check at $880 was taxed. That was based upon my percentage of my base pay at 40%, plus I paid for Tricare as well out of that. How much tax would you like the government to take without curbing pork spending? Like for the museum of natural history, or the amount that was stolen during Covid? Since we're talking about money. Only 4% of Covid finds went to the American public.. The country has bigger issues than taxing veterans that were promises by their government to be taken care of if in the event they were injured while serving.
