SSDI info?

[mom2twokids]

We are gathering all of our info together to start our application for SSDI. I have a question as I know that you can only collect up to 80% of your pre-injury wages, but my question is do they calculate it based on the amount of your workers comp you were awarded or the amount that you actually get after the lawyer takes his 20%?

I hope I am making sense and any help would be great, thanks!

My attorney does not collect any of my wc ttd weekly payments. But I would think SSDI does not really care about what you pay a wc attorney. there fore i would believe that the offset would be on what wc actually pays. and could care less how it is distributed. Just my thought.

if you can flip a hamburger, they'll deny you !! the drs they send you to have nothing to do with your injury or illness. they sent me to a allergist and a psychiatrist.went to talk to an attorney and soon as i walked in he said that he knew i would not win because i looked like i could work!wth ,i was denied,asked for reconsideration and denied now i should apply for a hearing but i don't know if i will. dont think it will be quick.1-2yrs min
