Let me start by saying that I am currently going trough the MEB process and my case has been stuck waiting on VA ratings for almost 60 days now. Anyway I applied for SSD back in January of this year and I have been following any updates on my case through my social security website. About two weeks ago my status changed to the following: Benefit Application under review. " A medical decision has been made and we are working to process your benefit application. A Social security representative may contact you if we need any additional documents or information"
I called my local Social Security Office yesterday to get an update and I was told that they were waiting to receive my proof of age. I went to the Social Security office to turn in a copy of my birth certificate and after talking to the guy and asking about my case he told me the following: Well it shows that a decision has not been made in your case however it shows that the Disability Determination Service found you disabled. Does this mean that my application was approved and I'm just waiting or does it mean that it still has to go trough the process and be approved/denied by someone else?? I'm confused.
Thanks for your help
