HUNTSVILLE VETERANS: SOCIAL SECURITY MAY PAY YOU DISABILITY BENEFITS

It is quite possible that disabled veterans who are collecting benefits from the Veterans Administration may also be eligible for Social Security disability benefits.   Billions of dollars have gone unclaimed because disabled veterans may not know that they can collect Social Security disability as well as VA disability at the same time.  This is because veterans paid into the Social Security program during their years of military service (and afterward if they receive a pension).

The Forsythe Firm actively represents veterans and their families if they qualify for Social Security disability benefits.  The disabling impairment does not necessarily have to be service related to qualify for Social Security benefits, though many are.

If a veteran has a 100 percent permanent disability rating with the Veterans Administration, he or she qualifies for an expedited decision on a Social Security disability claim.  This expedited decision does not guarantee approval--but does promise a very quick decision, avoiding months of possible delays typical of a disability application.

Receiving Social Security disability does not reduce the veteran's VA benefit.  Also, the VA benefit will not reduce the Social Security disability benefit.

The application process, as well as the medical requirements, for Social Security are quite different from the VA process in many ways.  The road to approval by Social Security can be complex, time consuming and difficult.  Many Huntsville veterans have trusted the Forsythe Form for help and professional guidance in getting Social Security disability benefits.

There is no fee for our representation on your behalf until:
  1. Your claim has been approved.
  2. You receive lump sum retroactive or past due benefits.
Representatives who are qualified may receive their fee payments directly from the Social Security Administration after the case has been settled.  This fee is deducted from the claimant's past due payment.  All fees must be approved by Social Security.  The Forsythe Firm never charges a consultation fee or any up front fee.  We get paid only if you win and collect retroactive or past due benefits.  If not, all our work is free.

If you are a disabled veteran, please contact the Forsythe Firm in Huntsville at (256) 799-0297 or visit us at our website.
