HUNTSVILLE / NORTH ALABAMA.....VETERANS MAY QUALIFY FOR FULL VA DISABILITY BENEFITS AND FULL SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS.
If you served your country in any branch of the armed forces and have become disabled, whether or not your injury is related to military service (as long as you were active duty at the time you became disabled) - you may qualify for full Social Security benefits in addition to VA disability.
- Does my disability have to be service connected? No.
- What if I am disabled but still on active duty? You may still qualify.
- If I get VA benefits, is Social Security automatic? No, you must apply separately. The approval process is a bit different.
- Must I have a 100 percent VA disability rating? Not necessarily.
- Will getting Social Security disability benefits reduce my VA benefits? No.
- Can I get help in applying for Social Security without an upfront fee? Yes. We charge no fee unless you win with past due (lump sum) benefits payable. Never an upfront charge.

Trying to sign up for Social Security disability benefits?
Find the process too complicated, confusing and frustrating?
I think Social Security is one of the most complicated and overwhelming things the average person will ever try to do. The language is difficult, the process is burdensome, and the burden of proof is demanding.
That's why most people trying for disability benefits use professional representation. Let the pros handle the government red tape while you go about your life. Your advocate will obtain the evidence required, complete the forms, and handle the mediation.

SSDI = The regular Social Security disability insurance claim, also called Title 2.
SSI = Supplemental Security Income, also called Title 16.
Why should you file an SSDI claim instead of an SSI claim, if possible? You may need to file both claims; however, here is why an SSDI or Title 2 claim is usually better:
- SSDI will usually pay a much higher benefit than SSI. (See below).
- SSDI has no "means test," doesn't require you to be poor or have very limited resources or very restricted household income. SSI qualification is based on resources and household income, including, for example, your spouse's income.
- SSDI will come with Medicare, whereas SSI comes with Medicaid.
*The maximum SSDI benefit for an individual is $2,633 in 2016. The maximum federal SSI benefit for an individual is $733 in 2016.
**To file an SSDI or Title 2 claim, the claimant must have acquired a sufficient number of quarters of work credits. Generally, this means he or she has worked at least 5 out of the last 10 years.
