You continue to be paid; that is the issue in my opinion.Can I apply and receive SSDI while being on active duty? I have been diagnosed with Menieres Disease which makes it impossible for me to work, even being on active duty.
Thanks

Thus they were drawing SSDI and their regular Army paycheck.Can I apply and receive SSDI while being on active duty?

Im not in the WTU. But I'm going through the MEB and will be getting medically retired in the next few months. Do I qualify to apply and receive SSDI while on ADYou can apply for and receive SSDI while on active duty. I did and was granted it. I received SSDI and active duty pay together from January 1, 2010 to May 7, 2014. I filed for SSDI in October of 2009, which was when I was referred to the WTU after I returned from convalescent leave from surgery.
SSDI was granted from the day of my surgery (14 July 2009), however the way the rules work is that they do not begin payments until the 1st of the month, six months following your date of application.
I was not granted SSDI right away, while I waist the WTU, it was in the state of Texas, where they were making immediate grants to WTU members within 30-60 days.
The WTU sent me home to California to the CB-WTU, whereas my claim was transferred. CA denied my claim (SSDI claims are initially decided by the state disability determining office).
I had to get a SSDI lawyer who appealed the denial all the way to an administrative law judge.
The ALJ granted my claim on October 2013 and I was given back pay to 1 Jan 2010.
Beginning in November 2013, I started getting regular monthly SSDI payments on the 3rd of the month, and I also received my full pay, BAS and BAH until my last day in service which was 7 May 2014.
If you do not apply, you will most certainly not get it.

Yes you can. I am on active duty and I am receiving SSDI for a disability that has cause me not to work. They even back paid me for one full year based on the onset date of my condition. They don’t award it easily. They are very diligent with the evaluation process.Can I apply and receive SSDI while being on active duty?
