Description

Disability benefits available through the Social Security Admin. (SSA) can be an important source of financial support for some wounded warriors, and Congress has mandated that the DoD and VA help them learn about and apply for such benefits. This report determines: (1) how many wounded warriors have applied and been approved for SSA benefits and the extent to which they are receiving benefits from across the 3 agencies; (2) what steps DoD, VA, and SSA have taken to inform wounded warriors about SSA benefits, and the challenges that confront this process; and (3) steps taken by all three agencies to facilitate the processing of wounded warrior disability claims. This report reviewed policy doc’s., surveyed wounded warriors, and analyzed admin. data.
