Good morning,
My husband is getting ready to file for SSDI, but we are stationed at Osan AB, Korea. He is currently being med boarded (they're about to send him TDY to Travis AFB, CA in order to complete his ratings) out of the military at almost 17 years. We're pretty bummed about it, but are interested in applying for SSDI as all of his injuries are service-related and debilitating. We do not want to file online as we would like to present all the documentation with the application. Would it be possible for him to file at the Embassy here in South Korea or would it be best to file when he visits California (as I understand it does not have to be your home state to apply)? Also, we can't seem to find any information on what forms we should print and have ready to file? Can anyone help me with this? It's seems like it's always a bit harder to do things like this when overseas...
Thanks!
