SOCIAL SECURITY CREDITS

feeds@yuku.com (mjg46) — Mon, 02 Nov 2009 20:07:13 GMT

My question is: If social security says that I do not have enough credits for retirement, but what about my 4 years of military service? Are they included already, or are my military credits not counted until I file for retirement at age 65? Could someone with knowledge of the system please explain?

SUCCESS: Fully Favorable Decision

feeds@yuku.com (mgeogo) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 09:36:47 GMT

VBN friends,

I am sorry I have been away from the forum for a while. I've been dealing with depression and PTSD issues, as well as a relocation, and I had almost given up on my SSDI claim after it went past the two year point. But I just had my judicial hearing on Oct 15th and yesterday the brown envelope brought great news: fully favorable decision. It was a wonderful boost and I just wanted to log on the VBN and thank everyone for their support, information and advice....

Question on SSDI

feeds@yuku.com (Skinny Cat) — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 15:01:05 GMT

Patrick,
I just read your post on the SSDI exam, good intel. Question, When a veteran first applies for SSDI, how far back does SSDI conciser his menial evidence to be relevant in a claim?

I would think if a veteran is 100% P&T for a PTSD, the dates of his medical evidence shouldn't matter as long as he is able to show a resent nexus letter from his primary care physician stating his condition has not improved sense he received his rating decisions two years earlier....

Had my hearing on 9 Oct 09 with an attorney, judge, medical expert and vocational expert. The judge was another judge judy and broke me down a couple of times. He was even nasty to my attorney.

When he concluded questioning me he then ask the medical expert for her opinion which she stated that I was disabled and could not hold a job in my condition. Then the lawyer was asked if she had questions, which she...

Confiscation of Social Security Card

feeds@yuku.com (LoneStar77) — Sat, 24 Oct 2009 22:39:27 GMT

I apologize in advance if this is posted in the wrong forum.

One of my former wives recently applied for social security (age 62) and has advised our adult son that "The Arkansas social security office took my social security card and they will not return in because it was issued in Texas." (I'll control myself and not make a joke here.)

Since I have already assisted her in obtaining a certified copy of her Kentucky birth certificate, and a certified copy of...

She told me they approved me for disability with an onset of April 09 even though I have been out of the military since August 05. I guess they wanted...
