Hello, all.
I am 100% disabled VET and Unemployable due to Desert Storm And Other Military Issues. Now I am Fighting to get S.S.I. Social Security Insurance, WE All Pay for this through F.I.C.A. TAX or Called Payroll tax if you work for someone or at the end of the year at Tax Time. It is Insurance if you get disabled or if not you'll get it at retirement. I have not worked since 04/2001 when the company I was working for reorganized and eliminated 3 people in my department and I found out that the Company hired 5 to replace the 3 hmm, hmm, hmm. Now for the last 8yrs I have been scrambling just to make it month to month. I tried for a couple of years to find work till in December 2003 I applied for S.S.I., On January 15th 2003 The Veterans Administration determined I Was 100% Disabled And Unemployable. with all the stress and the injuries I have been dealing with add that to whats going on in the would the past 8yrs, I'm just barely able to stay ahead of everything.
the Question I have is this, Why Can I not Get S.S.I.? When other people who did it to themselves to become Dependant on alcohol, meth, or any other drugs are able to Get on S.S.I..
I served My Country, in WAR, Desert Storm, Provide Comfort, Was Injured, MY Health Has Worsened Since I Was in Desert Storm. I do have good health care and a pension Thanks TO The Army and the V.A. They BOTH Have lived up to the commitment.
NOW The S.S.A. (social security administration) THEY HAVE NOT, IT HAS NOW Been almost 6 years from application 8 years for DIB (Disability Insurance Benefit) and Nothing BUT a KICK in THE BackSide and so for thats it. I Dont Know If I Will, only time will tell.
Thank God, My Wife Is Healthy and able to work, she works for a family as a house cleaner, this is the only reason we still have anything at all.
I still count my self Lucky, as I know their are others out their in worse than we are.
p.s. I guess I needed A Place to vent my frustrations
