As a 100% p&t veteran who is experiencing their treatment of veterans, I really appreciate your comments. People with the process have made it clear that they hold contempt for the va and the opm. My most recent decision was pages of the judge finding fault with my treatment notes. They also seem to punish for working well past your disabilities and not having the leave time to get treatment. Dealing with this has been unbelievable.]]></description>

Hi Donna. If you are the divorced spouse of a worker who died and you are not married, you could get benefits just the same as a widow or widower. For more information, please visit our <a href="https://www.ssa.gov/planners/survivors/ifyou.html#h3" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow ugc">Surviving Divorced Spouse </a>webpage.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I am a 100% SC T & P Disabled combat Veteran and recently lost my benefits due to mailing issues. After that was resolved, I was scheduled for a review and given an appt that required me to drive from California to Idaho to attend. The SSA didn't attempt to use my Va records which are available and more than adequately document my continued disabilities. Also when I discussed that I was a 100% sc vet, I was told by the operator on the phone " oh you're one of those people " to which I replied what did that mean and she began berating me for being a Veteran. It finally took 3 months to get my benefits back and caused me to lose my specially adapted home. Why couldn't ssa use my VA medical data and my award letter which specifically addresses those issues.?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[What a crock... I'm 100% P&T for PTSD and another 60% for physical problems after retiring after OIF in 2003. I applied and was denied SSDI all the way too the ALJ because they said I could fold clothes in a quiet room in the back of a laundromat. I see nothing in the SSA that supports veterans. Time to bite the bullet and end the hell I live in.. Sorry bastards..]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[I have been a practicing attorney in this area for almost 30 years. So I certainly am familiar with all the regulations, including recent 2017 changes in the law, with regards to how SSA views VA disability decisions. Yet, it seems that the ALJ's have become so biased against veteran's with high ptsd ratings, that I now view it as a detriment rather than an asset to the claim. Can you imagine how it looks to veterans to hear all the fluff about how much SSA cares about veteran's, and processing their claims faster etc etc, only to have the ALJ completely disregard the VA findings? It would be best if you either stop talking about how much you care about veterans or tell the truth when you do. I'm sure this comment will not get selected for publishing, but perhaps you can pass it on to someone in charge.]]></description>
