What is this benefit you’re talking about?
Recently, Congress passed the Social Security Disability “Wounded Warrior” program. This program allows Military Veterans who are service connected to apply and potentially qualify for Social Security Disability benefits. While any U.S. Citizen can apply for Social Security disability if they have paid into the system, the “Wounded Warrior” program provides expedited processing of claims for Vets. This means that instead of waiting over 3 years to possibly receive benefits, many Veterans can qualify in less than 12 months with some qualifying in as little as 3 months!
What Can I qualify for?
- Up to $2,600/month
- $1000’s in back pay to the time you last worked
- Cash benefits for children under 18
- Medicare
- Cost of Living Increases yearly
- NO OFFSET with VA Benefits meaning you can collect Both!
Do I Meet The Requirements?
What is Social Security Disability?
Social Security Disability is a program developed by the Social Security Administration to assist those unable to work because of mental, physical or a combination of conditions. In order to prove disability under Social Security’s program, a Veteran must show that their condition is so severe that it precludes them from returning to work on a full time basis.
How much can I qualify for?
The amount you receive is dependent on how many years you worked or served and how much you earned in those years. Everyone’s monthly benefit is different; on average, our clients receive approximately $1500 per month as well as additional benefits for those with children under 18.
Will this affect my VA benefits?
No! There is no offset to VA benefits if you are receiving service connected benefits. That means you can receive your full Veterans benefit as well as Social Security Disability on a monthly basis for as long as you need it. Those who receive a non-service related pension may have to deal with an onset, however.
Who are you guys?
Vetsdisabilityguide.com is a resource provided by Victory Disability. Victory Disability provides representation exclusively for military Veterans dealing with Social Security Disability. We have assisted hundreds of Veterans to receive benefits over the past several years and have maintained a 5 star rating with both the Better Business Bureau and through our Google Reviews.
How much does this cost?
Representation costs nothing out of pocket. Victory Disability is only compensated if they are successful in winning your claim. Should you choose to start the process but elect to return to work, there is no cost. We do not charge our clients for medical records either. If we are successful, we are paid only if retroactive benefits are awarded.
How can I see if I qualify?
We ask Veterans to complete a 2 minute questionnaire (found below) to help us in answering some initial questions we will need in determining whether you may qualify or not. Once submitted, one of our intake specialists will reach out to you to explain the process as well as ask a few more questions. Once that is complete, Victory Disability will take charge of your claim and deal with the government so you don’t have to.
