If you are a veteran of one of the United States Armed Forces and are no longer able to work due to your service-connected or non-service-connected impairments, you may be eligible for Social Security disability benefits. While most veterans upon their discharge from the military are aware that they have the right to apply for veterans disability benefits through the Department of Veterans’ Affairs, many veterans are not as informed about how to apply for Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI), which veterans can receive while also receiving compensation from the VA, including permanent and total ratings with 100 percent schedular disability evaluations or non-service-connected pensions.
Applying for Social Security disability benefits as a veteran who has been recently discharged from the military and has been unable to work because of a combination of physical or mental impairments is without question worth considering. Viner Disability Law’s attorneys can help walk you through these considerations before you file an initial application for disability benefits with the Social Security Administration (SSA) and can even help you file the application, including assisting you in completing the Work History Report and Adult Function Report that the SSA will send to all claimants after their initial application has been received. Viner Disability Law can also help you obtain copies of all of your service medical and personnel records as well as current medical treatment records so that the SSA will have all of the strongest medical evidence available when your case is reviewed for a decision.
