Hello!. I got back in town a day early so we made it to Social Security today. I had to go because SS decided I needed to handle his money. Because we have a six year old and an eight year old, we will get money for them also. Just with Social Security, we will get $1229 for him, plus $307 for each child.
The Social Security man said that in order for your claim to be processed, your injury must be five months old. They dated Hubby's PTSD injury date as the day he entered the hospital for the first time, December 19, 2007. He did not apply to Social Security until June so his five month waiting period was over and they processed his claim immediately. Hope things are going well for you!
