Hi... First post, hope someone can help... I have been denied twice, and the third filing is in cyberspace somewhere... I called the SS office 5 times last week, and talked to a real person once... She said that she could pull up the 2 denials, but not the third (Filed in April)... I was smart the 3rd time, and printed the packet out...
I filed all 3 claims after being granted (If that's what you want to call it), 100% Disability from the VA for PTSD, COPD, and Back issues, etc... It literally took an act of my Congressman to get the VA to budge...
I am trying to get SSD to budge without hiring one of those high priced lawyers... A buddy I served with did get the lawyer and did get the back pay, but at a cost of 7 grand or so... Well, I wasn't a General, only an NCO, so that's a big chunk of change to give up... Plus, how can the SSD miss the big packet in black and white that says I am 100%
... Well, to quote legendary coach Lombardi, the last line is "lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious." I plan on being a pest as long as need be... But what reason can you find for me to have that need??
Does anybody have similar SSD experiences, and was as stubborn as me??? I think I could fight them on my own in court, however I don't have that MOS to my credit... By the way, when I did finally get the VA settlement... My congressman's ad's were on TV... and no, attempts for help with SSD have not had a similar response... Thanks for any help
