DISABLED VETERANS: ARE YOU MISSING OUT ON SOCIAL SECURITY MONEY?

DISABLED VETERANS ARE OFTEN ENTITLED TO SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY BENEFITS IN ADDITION TO VA BENEFITS.

Veterans who served in any branch of the military after 1955 are covered by Social Security.  If you become disabled for any reason while on active duty, you are entitled to apply for Social Security disability (SSDI).  The SSDI benefits do not offset or reduce your VA benefits but are paid in addition.

Be advised that a VA decision is not binding on Social Security.  They have their own application, rules and process--which is different from VA.  

Also, Social Security often denies veterans at the first level. At the second level, or hearing level, many of these claims get approved and paid.  If you get a denial letter, you have 60 days to request a hearing. 

My office represents dozens of veterans before the Social Security Administration.  If you have a disability, don't neglect the substantial income available from Social Security.  We offer free consultations at no obligation and you never pay us a cent until you win your claim and recover back payments.
