DISABLED VETERANS CAN GET SSDI, TOO

If you served in any branch of the US armed forces after 1955, you paid into the Social Security disability system.  If you have become disabled prior to your full retirement age, you may be entitled to Social Security disability (SSDI) benefits.

These SSDI benefits are in addition to any VA benefits you may qualify for.  Yes, you can receive both VA and SSDI benefits.  Social Security may add $1,200 to $2,700 per month to your disability or retirement package.

The Social Security approval process is separate and quite different from the VA process.  You must file a separate application for Social Security and the rules are different from the VA's rules.

CAUTION:  Social Security often denies qualified veterans by telling them they are not disabled according to Social Security's rules.  This is a preliminary decision and must be appealed (just like you probably had to appeal your initial VA disability rating).  Most cases are not won with an application, but with an appeal.  I estimate that 85 percent of these claims require an appeal (hearing) to be paid.

The odds of winning your SSDI benefits on appeal are very high, especially if you have a VA disability rating of 80 or higher.  It's not guaranteed but the odds are good.

My firm, the Forsythe Firm, is veteran friendly and veteran experienced.  We've been helping disabled veterans with SSDI applications and appeals for many years and we have an excellent track record.  You will never pay us a cent until your claim is approved and you have recovered back pay from Social Security.  If you don't, there's no fee.

My number 1 source of new veteran clients?  Referrals from veterans I've helped in the past!  I'm very proud of that and work hard to live up to it.
