Hello everyone, this is attorney Anthony Reeves. I'm here to give you a legal tip for the day. Today, let's talk about the relationship between the VA and Social Security. One thing to keep in mind is that Social Security is not bound by disability determinations made by other agencies. Just because another agency finds you disabled does not guarantee that Social Security will do the same. However, I often receive questions about the success rate of being found disabled by the VA compared to Social Security. This is a great question, but the answer is not straightforward. The VA and Social Security have different methods of determining disability. The VA uses disability ratings and considers various factors when making their determination. You may be found partially disabled, such as 10% or 20%, or have a service-connected disability. However, Social Security's standard is whether your condition prevents you from working. So, even if the VA has found you disabled, it doesn't necessarily increase the likelihood of being found disabled by Social Security. Remember, a disability determination by another agency is not binding on Social Security but can be persuasive. The question should be how persuasive the VA's rating will be for Social Security. For example, if you have a 10% disability rating from the VA, it means they found you disabled for only 10%. This may not be very persuasive to Social Security if the disability is related to a minor injury that doesn't affect your ability to work or concentrate. Social Security looks at the overall impact of your condition on your ability to work, such as if you can sit, concentrate, or take regular breaks. So, while a VA disability rating can provide some credibility, it's important to understand that Social Security has its own criteria and may make their determination differently. In...

Life insurance for disabled veterans Form: What You Should Know
The insurance provides benefits to disabled Veterans for the duration of their disability by protecting the Life Insurance Benefits you would have received under Social Security Disability Insurance. S-DVI also provides for the continuation and extension of disability benefits after the disability date. S-DVI is available only to Disabled Veterans and does not confer any other benefits. The plan may be subject to limitations or exclusions and S-DVI coverage may end if: The Veteran becomes a non-disabled adult. The Veteran dies, becomes permanently and totally disabled (a “permanently and totally disabled” award may not be available), or dies after age 60. If you or a dependent (spouse, common-law partner, unmarried child or stepchild) of a Veteran dies, becomes permanently and totally disabled, or dies after age 60, the surviving spouse may apply for SYLVIA for the survivor on your life insurance policy. There may be an additional 1,000 (1,000 per adult) per year for a Survivor if the spouse is permanently and totally disabled. Any survivor benefits in excess of 1,000 must be paid to that individual in cash. Life Insurance Benefits. Vets will receive: In the case of an award under the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force, Coast Guard, or Federal Employees' Group Life Insurance, or the U.S. Coast Guard Veterans' Health Care Program, the following amounts each year (in effect starting with the year of service in which the award is made) : 500 per year for life insured. For the other military branches, life insurance benefits are: 300 annually after age 25. The amount of benefits payable during the Veteran's lifetime is not dependent upon service. All benefits will be paid when due. Vacation Coverage. S-DVI will also provide VA coverage if you are temporarily absent (for example, traveling, attending school, work, or training). You may be entitled to VA coverage while away from home (under the terms of an assignment to an overseas base). If so, you must report the absence on your S-DVI coverage application. In your state of residence, an S-DVI may cover up to 10,000 of life insurance for eligible veterans. The life insurance provides benefits for the duration of a Veteran's disability and is not available on a predictability basis. Each year of life insured will cost at least the cost of the coverage for two years.
