Your age, education, and past work experience will all be considered when determining if you can adjust to another type of work. There are specific rules, commonly known as “grid rules”, that are used to determine your remaining capacity for work. The determination is not based on age alone, but the rules do take into consideration that older workers have a more difficult time transitioning back to the workforce. Therefore, the rules are generally more favorable to veterans over the age of 50.
For example, a 50-year-old may get approved for disability benefits while a 49-year-old with the same impairment, education and work experience may get denied based simply upon the implemented ‘special rules’ for applicants over 50.
**Veterans receiving full retirement from Social Security are not eligible for SSDI.
Veterans interested in applying for VA Disability Compensation or Social Security Disability with the help of Victory Disability should call 1-866-350-7229. To determine if you are eligible for SSDI benefits, complete the Social Security Disability Evaluation.
