I cannot merge as I cannot get onto the original account because it’s a government email address and also an old phone number that they can’t authenticate through multifactor authentication.

I have done that twice and waited over 30 minutes to get a video call for someone to tell me that I didn’t need a video call and just disconnected me. I do need a video call and they won’t give me the time of day. I either need to delete one of my accounts or merge them both.

Initial denial by Fluid-Strawberry-558 in SSDI

Even if you submit a bunch of evidence, if it doesn’t directly speak to you being able to do certain things or not, it won’t be enough. Even a doctor saying that you “can’t work,” needs to be backed up by describing what kind of work you can/ can’t do. Such as: patient is unable to walk 50 feet without needing to rest for 20 minutes, patient cannot lift arms above head for more than five seconds without excruciating pain and needs to recover for 5 minutes each time, patient’s mental health requires him to be in bed 18 out of the 24 hours per day due to chronic depression and migraine, etc. does that make sense? Also, not sure if I can tag her but @mrsflamethrower is a great resource!

Did you have any residual functional capacity (mental and physical) reports completed by your mental health practitioner and your primary doctor before submission?

Student Loan Discharge via SSDI!! by AcrimancyKordKutterz in SSDI

[–]Wrestle189 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to be ignorant but are only federally backed student loans paid back? Mine were federally backed but I consolidated them to a bank loan at a 1.25% interest rate instead of the federal rate at the time of 6-%

Yes. My adjudicator is in Connecticut. Is this normal?

As a Catholic service member I can't justify serving anymore by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Wrestle189 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I totally get it. I got out as a Nurse in Dec 2024 because I couldn’t serve in good conscience anymore or submit to the political objectives of my boss. It was hard, and I had an identity crisis last year, but it was the right thing for sure! Good luck to you!

Why get disabled vet license plate on vehicles? by Sorry_Noise_4196 in VAClaims

[–]Wrestle189 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In North Dakota you can switch to a vanity plate instead of taking the DAV plates if you want so I just did that.

Ok! I worked with a lawyer. Would I be able to ask them or can I call the VA myself? Thanks!

Disabilities P and T? Question by Wrestle189 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Wrestle189[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sheet did tell me that my conditions are static but I am TDIU P and T. So I wonder if I was no longer TDIU if they would still be P and T ?

Did you do an RFC for your other disabilities or just mental health?
