I applied when I was 33 years old. Combat Veteran with 46 months of combat time. Applied under Severe PTSD disability. Took 2 years to be approved by a Judge and needed a Lawyers help. I'm 40 now and still receiving. Very Thankful and Grateful I was granted this benefit.

​@@TheDisabilityDigest 8 just got first denial. In process of reconsideration appeal just started. That. I'm 46 been working in physical therapist at hospital for 26 years but have had 4 major spine sxs in lumbar and neck and now have major nerve damage in neck. and left arm. I'm discouraged, but is there hope?

[@VolZshowcaZe]

Was told probanly be denied for appeal and most likely win at ALJ stage. True

[@myreid777]

Whoever the judge is in one’s case plays a big role as well.

[@turdferguson1567]

True statement. My attorney used the words thorough good and fair to describe the judge in my case and she seemed pleased that we were seeing this judge as opposed to the others. I'm pleased to say she was just as described.

[@canomalo3662]

When I applied I was 49 when I saw the judge she asked to move the onset date to reflect me being 50 I took the deal which means less back pay I am now 51 and got approved

[@williamhunter1959]

I'm a disabled vet and was denied two years ago!! It's frustrating as they denied me even though I do not have the fuctional capability to do my job I had previously!!

[@xjumpmaster82]

I recommend getting a good lawyer. Disabled Combat Vet. Been receiving since I was 35, technically 33 with back pay. But my records were solid as well. 46 months of Combat time.

Approved with only a wait of 2 months. Age 57 with 40 years of consecutive work record. Retired Navy age 17-39 Retired 2nd career 20 yrs due to disability.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Congratulations on your approval! Your story is a testament to the importance of persistence and thorough preparation. Your extensive work history and service in the Navy undoubtedly played a significant role in the approval of your claim. Any tips you can give to others?

[@Dawgliph]

@@TheDisabilityDigest Yes Sir, Honestly - work any job “on the books”- Quick cash will under cut your record. As a “Female Veteran” and single parent raising a child, my pay was not always great. Once I used the GI Bill to get a service trade- At age 39- I retired from the Navy and shored up my pension for life and medical care. Navy gave me a great IT skill, but I did not like that career, I wanted Physical Therapy career- it changed my life- steady employment. Always lived within my means. Now on Disability, Through no fault of my own. God is good, ALL the time.

Best of luck! If you aren’t old enough and haven’t paid into the system long enough, you will be always be denied. There are other programs available. SSDI will only pay for those who paid into the system. That is the dirty secret the lawyers never say.

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

@@Thecruisingrancher that's not true. SSI is for those that haven't paid into the system to get SSDI. So yes you still can get SSI if you dont have enough work credits to get SSDI.

I have a question and a comment!! I receve SS disabled that started about 5.50 years ago!! I would have been 60 at that time. My process took only 7 mths for the approval!! I receive just 1032.00 a moth. I have thought of some kind of setting work.....but on all SS forms it says i can only earn 1555.00 !! Does this or does it not include the 1032.00?? So does this mean my work income could be only 523.00 a month to total that 1555.00 figure or can i make the additional 1555.00 on top of my SS check?? Thanks 😅 That rolling stool made me dizzy!!!

I'm sorry to hear that you're going through this difficult process. Preparing for a mental evaluation can be challenging, but you're not alone. Here are a few tips to help you get ready: 1. Be Honest and Open: Share your experiences and how your condition affects your daily life. 2. Bring Supporting Documents: If you have any medical records or notes from your doctor, bring them with you. 3. Stay Calm: Try to relax and be yourself during the evaluation. If you need more personalized guidance or support, feel free to reach out to us. We're here to help you through every step of the appeal process.

I have been watching your videos and finally found this one! Thank you s much for taking the time to make this for us, that means so much to all of us. I am 29 and currently am 8+ months in on my Reconsideration appeal after being denied and currently awaiting a decision. I just got a new adjudicator actually, so I think the rumor that they are retraining adjudicators and are hiring new ones is true. I can't communicate well and it takes me a while to explain things with my memory difficulties and speech from repetitive frontal lobe damage and I have too many physical disabilities to prevent me from doing any physical work. Before my TBI's I was perfectly healthy but almost a decade later I am struggling to live with literally 60+ different diagnosis. Your body goes crazy when your brain is impacted hard enough. By the time hearing comes along, I may not be here as I first applied in January of 2021. Things are getting worse at an alarming rate. My mental health is non-existent anymore and the irony is that I will continue to get worse because I can't afford my treatments on top of it all such as HGH injections for my HGH deficiency from pituitary gland damage. I wanted to take the time to write this because your videos keep me mentally sane through this whole process!

[@livelearnfromfoolsfromsage4686]

Not knocking SSDI because you only receive what you contributed before you Became disabled even though it was no fault of your own doing. I Started receiving SSDI decades ago while in my early 30’s. The payments have always been small because of it, even decades later. I receive less benefits each month than needed to cover my monthly medical bills (pain pump refills). I feel sorry for anyone who needs to receive it at a young since they will never be able to receive enough money to actually live on for the rest of their lives, unless can they can also work which many of us can’t.

So if I fall I can't get up. I am in a lot of pain. I have this problem since 2014.I have hardly seen a doctor in my life. I am a vet. I have a had a very high tolerance to pain. I am going to be 61. That high tolerance is no longer there. I know I will have no chance of getting disability. Because I hardly ever seen a doctor. I hardly take it anymore. What can I do.

[@SteelRhinoXpress]

Hard to say, but having gone to the drs you are a vet so you have the va any medical records dating back at least 6 months would help greatly in your case though. Just be honest and truthful about yourself and your condition to the judge and it can go a long way.

[@MattMatt77]

The thing that's a Shame of it. Is that so many people abuse this system so the people that actually very much needed can't get it. Also not to mention you need someone else to approve you. So that means if they can understand your issue and if they can relate you're very likely to get approved. That means if I'm 50 years old and if I say that my back hurts the judge would likely say approved. Because being old and your back hurting isn't good 🙄. But if you're in your thirties and you have a severe mental illness. Your going to get told to Get F ed. It's very sad but it's true. It's the same thing how people that are a drug or alcohol abuses get all the help they need in life and Society. But the people that went to rehab that's veteran or a person with a mental illness.

Ssi is not social security ssdi what you work for and you don’t have enough credits in ssa you get ssi which is a welfare program ssi is not social security program.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

You’re absolutely right. Social Security Disability Insurance (SSDI) and Supplemental Security Income (SSI) are two different programs. SSDI is an insurance program that workers pay into over their working years. If they become disabled and can no longer work, they can draw from this insurance. On the other hand, SSI is a needs-based program for people with limited income and resources, regardless of their work history. It’s funded by general tax revenues, not Social Security taxes. It’s important to understand the difference between these two programs to know which one you might be eligible for. If you want to learn more about the difference between SSDI and SSI, you can watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/a3mpio2tdteXh8k. It provides a clear explanation of the two programs.

[@LouLouTwoToo]

During my hearing the vocation person only had jobs for the first two scenarios the judge asked about but zero jobs for the last three. Also, my lawyer asked if I needed extra breaks and extra days off would there be jobs and the answer was no. My question is can the judge still not approve based on the first two questions? I’m 53 and worked for the same company for 21 years before becoming ill.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

In a disability hearing, the judge's decision is based on a variety of factors, including your medical condition, your age, your education, your work history, and the vocational expert's testimony. If the vocational expert stated that there are no jobs available for you considering your need for extra breaks and days off, this could significantly influence the judge's decision in your favor. However, the judge may still consider the first two scenarios where jobs were identified. Each case is unique and the judge's decision will be based on the totality of the evidence presented. If you have further questions or need more clarification, I recommend reaching out to your attorney who is familiar with your case and the specifics of your hearing.

[@minato4203]

I was a successful construction worker, and wood worker. I have been doing construction and woodworking since I was 16 years old. I’m 32, had a table saw accident that amputated my dominant hands 5th metacarpal and 5th finger. I cut 2 arteries, 3 nerves the tendons and ligaments. Rushed into surgery, as the ER doctor said in his notes, he feared that I would bleed to death. A screw through my 4th metacarpal holding the knuckle to the carpal. I can’t close my hand I have severe nerve pain. No proprioception of my left hand anymore. I have ptsd when a saw turns on, when I pass a fire truck. If I get denied I will lose my house, because I’m still not cleared to work, my company fired me after still not being cleared at 4 months. This is month 9. If they tell me to be a Walmart greeter or a ticket person like you said in your examples I will kill myself. I had a future damn it and it’s not to be a frickin store greeter. That won’t be the rest of my life, id rather die now and be remembered for the beautiful woodworking projects I did and running multiple crews while doing my own work projects. I won’t be remembered as the Walmart greeter that worked there for 40 years.

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

I'm so sorry to hear about the severe accident and the difficulties you are facing. It's clear that this situation is deeply affecting you, and it's essential to get the support you need. Here are some steps you can take to improve your chances of getting the benefits you need and deserve: Medical Documentation: Ensure you have comprehensive medical records that document the extent of your injuries, surgeries, and ongoing issues such as nerve pain, PTSD, and functional limitations. This documentation will be crucial in proving the severity of your condition. Psychological Evaluation: Given your PTSD and the severe emotional distress you’re experiencing, a psychological evaluation can provide important documentation to support your claim. This evaluation should include details about your PTSD, its triggers, and how it affects your daily life. Occupational Therapy Reports: Reports from occupational therapists who have worked with you can demonstrate the impact of your injuries on your ability to perform tasks related to your previous work and other potential jobs. Support from Specialists: Obtain letters and reports from specialists such as neurologists, orthopedic surgeons, and mental health professionals. These documents should outline your prognosis, the likelihood of recovery, and any permanent limitations.

I HAVE EPILEPSY BAD AND USE CANIBUS FOR TREATMENT...WHAT ARE MY ODDS???

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Epilepsy is indeed listed in the Social Security Administration's (SSA) Blue Book of impairments, which means that you may qualify for benefits if your condition meets the specific criteria outlined. Using cannabis for treatment should not affect your eligibility for SSD benefits. However, it's important to note that the SSA will consider all aspects of your medical condition and treatment when making a decision. To understand more about how the SSA evaluates epilepsy and what medical evidence is needed, you can watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/bJTUZn6Phc93Z5I. Have a great day!

you only need about 1600 dollars in earned income for a credit. Get a job for a little while and get those 40 credits. Do not apply for regular SS at age 62..you take a 30% loss if before 67. Apply for SSDI and will get full pay as if you waited till age 67. If disabled I mean but good luck.

My last year in the Army I was unable to perform my job and was told to stay home due to my MS symptoms. I tried to work after my retirement however, I haven't been able to hold down a job due to my MS....I also have TBI and PTSD which doesn't go well with MS. I do have a lawyer and filed a reconsideration as I was denied for my initial application. I turn 46 this year and very concerned about this situation.

Hi Brian, I’m on SSDI and I’m wondering if my 64 year old husband would be better off applying for SSDI instead of Social Security because he is a construction worker and his eyes are going, he can’t move when he gets home and he’s not nearly as strong as he once was. He would get more on Disability because he really never put much into Social Security. Any thoughts?? Thanks, Stacey

They are both calculated by lifetime earnings so most see no change at all when it converts to retirement. At 64 I would stop killing myself and get the medical stuff started. I also understand working brings in more money but if he can't work or is killing himself...there won't be a difference in his benefits.

[@georgeedward602]

I just learned that you lose 30% of your benefits if under 67 and get regular SS. That's crazy... definitely apply for SSDI because they pay full retirement benefits...He will be dead before 67, lol kidding but yeah...30%...what a bunch of shit.

Thanks for the info! Wonderful vid to help better understand. Quick question, Can a HS age child on an IEP get approved for social security with an intellectual & learning disability?

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

Yes, a high school age child with an intellectual and learning disability who is on an Individualized Education Program (IEP) can potentially be approved for Social Security benefits. The Social Security Administration (SSA) provides Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits for children who have disabilities and whose families have limited income and resources. The SSA uses a different disability evaluation process for children. They consider the child’s functioning in terms of six domains: acquiring and using information, attending and completing tasks, interacting and relating with others, moving about and manipulating objects, caring for oneself, and health and physical well-being. If the child’s impairment(s) results in “marked and severe functional limitations” in any of these domains, they may be eligible for SSI.

Since I’m not age 50, do you think I might qualify or do you think I should just wait until I’m 50 ?

[@TheDisabilityDigest]

I’m really sorry to hear about your struggles with PTSD and OCD. These conditions can indeed be debilitating and significantly impact your ability to work. Age is just one of the factors that Social Security considers when evaluating disability claims. The key factor is whether your conditions prevent you from doing any kind of substantial gainful activity. If your conditions are severe enough that they prevent you from working, you may qualify for Social Security Disability benefits regardless of your age. It’s important to have strong medical evidence to support your claim, including documentation of your diagnoses, your symptoms, the treatments you’ve tried, and how your conditions limit your daily activities. Remember, applying for disability benefits can be a complex process, but you don’t have to go through it alone. There are resources available to help you navigate the system.

Any ALJ using age as a factor is breaking the rules of ssdi benefits. The age requirements for benefits was eliminated in 1960. By "eliminated" that means it can no longer legitimately be a factor. Eliminated was literally the term used in the provision. It isn't a term that makes it discretionary or conditional. Eliminated means gone and therefore not present. There is no grey area there. Anyone who claims otherwise is not following the rules. Which is of course no surprise in this era
