Tbi ssdi

[ShyCat]

Let's be clear: having a hearing on TBI does not mean that TBI was determined to be a CAL disability and therefore added to the list. A hearing is not the same thing as "on the list". TBI apparently failed to make the list after the hearing.

Flagged as a veteran

Don't know if this helps but the lady at the SSA has said this might help move it and the VA 100 % unemployable might help it move to. I am still new to this can't believe I'm just hearing about SSDI now.

It just to almost 7 years for my claim to get approved with the VA luckily they back dated when I filed in 2010 had I known about SSDI I would have filed as well. I know I wouldn't have had the credits after the military I have now credits the Larry at ssa office said so that's not an issue.

With the cost of my quote for rehab and the new price of Obamacare I can't afford both unless I get SSDI that's my prayers are hoping now I can't live a life with no treatment.

My only mistake was going to wR again after my TBI I submitted a sworn testimony of a coworker that knew me before my accident and after with my attorney. I don't know if it's something they can use in my claim but I submitted it into the DDS office. It's paints the picture of how I was before my accident also gave them my awards I got even shows I was a good student as a class leader honor graduate of my graduating marine school 2 months prior to my TBI. The video shows how horrible I was after my accident and the deployment were he saw me hazed filling sandbags for punishment for losing things everyday for 8 months. I haven't gotten better in fact the same I had an MRI done last month that shows damage from my TBI 10 years later that needs to be dealt with financial I can't do anything but live work lose **** and panic. I don't think I can submit anything else I gave them my entire medical record from my accident from the 2 rehabs and intensive care hospital while I was in a coma for 26 days. Is there anything I can do or submit so there is no way they can deny my I trial claim? My family all tell me it will be denied just because that's how they are the first time? Until then I'm condemned to my live of overcomlicating everything, fatigue, and my impulsive ways which ultimately will be me making the wrong choice and getting hurt possibly fatally. But I guess that's what SSA really wants.

The person I spoke with said if it's filed and it's on the list then they will move on it so I done wondering it is what it is thanks for the heads up guys and gals.

Are you 100 percent SERVICE CONNECTED for your TBI through the VA?

If so, your rehab and medical care should be provided through your local VAMC without any charge.

It appears to me that there are two different flags for veterans

100 p&t flag
wounded warrior flag

If you qualify for both you could inquire to see if your case can get both flags. I have read that they pay more attention if there are multiple flags.

If you are in financial emergency, you could also try contacting office of senator and congressperson.

They won't help get the case approved, but a call from them could help make sure that the veteran flag is noticed - sometimes these things get overlooked. You may have to call or write several times to get the attention of the person there who can assist you.
