Disabled Veterans, Are You Struggling with the VA?

What a “Denial for Benefits” letter looks like. How to appeal a denied claim, and much more ...
As a veteran myself, and a squared away attorney who has helped hundreds of veterans with their disability claims, I know firsthand just how drawn out the process can be. I realized that many veterans do not have access to solid, honest information about veterans’ disability benefits and I wanted to change that. So I wrote the book on it, “Standby to Standby: Why Your Veteran Benefits Are Taking So Long and What You Can Do About It.”

9 Crucial Digits The Importance of Your Social Security Number
history, reports your wage to the government, keeps track of payroll deductions for old age, survivors, and disability insurance, and most importantly, checks your eligibility for Social Security benefits. Some institutions even use your Social Security number as your student ID. Without your Social Security number, there is no way for the government to verify if you are eligible for Social Security Disability Insurance or Supplemental Security Income. It is the best way to track your work, credit, and taxation history. Keeping your SSN safe and ready-at-hand isn’t just beneficial when you need to apply for Social Security; it’s also one of the best ways to protect your identity. Because of its connection to so many accounts and so much information, SSNs are often the easiest way for identity thieves to compromise victims and steal their personal data. As such, it’s important to only divulge your SSN to trusted sources when it’s absolutely necessary to do so.

When was the last time you thought about your Social Security number (SSN) beyond its final four digits?
