do you have a handbook just for social security benefits?

No, I do not have a handbook on just Social Security Benefits; something like this would be of great value to me. I’m retired with two fully replaced hips and every bone in my body has been broken. Additionally, I am in my third year dealing with Parkinson’s disease and the progress signs show that Parkinson will move a little faster in me than for most who get Parkinson’s. I am thankful to have served our beautiful country and more importantly my service in the Marine Corps. This type of information would be great, as Social Security Benefits seem to be a mystery, at least to me.

I think this handbook is a very good idea. It outlines everything that a person would need, and it keeps them informed of all things that have to do with benefits.

I’m a Service Connected 100% Permanent & Totally Disabled Veteran, and often find the language used in the manuals for benefits often are for “RETIRED” veterans, and NOT for DISABLED veterans with a service connection. Will we ever be able to enjoy some of the same benefits as retirees? I have learned since my separation from the U.S. Marines, that if your disability from active duty service is rated at less than 30% at the time of your medical discharge, you are just “MEDICALLY discharged/separated”, but if it is rated at more than that, you will be “MEDICALLY RETIRED”, and thus can say you are “RETIRED” out and get retirement status and retirement benefits. Can someone PLEASE look into this for all that have served and became disabled due to their service connection? Thanks you.

We are starting work on the 2013 handbooks now, and will be sure to address the two groups separately going forward.
As for getting the benefits changed, I wish we had the authority to do that! You certainly deserve to receive benefits because of your service and sacrifice. Support veterans’ groups who can lobby for changes and vote for political candidates who appreciate your service. Those are the people who can make a difference for you and others in your situation.

I served 4 years active. 24 years ready reserve 28 total For the past 13 years I have been Disabled with Parkinsons and Prostrate Cancer which is in remission. My two conflicts were
Santa Domingo, for which I was awarded a Armforces Experdition Medal we were supporting our troops off shore boat to shore 24 hrs 7days for a month. Cuban Crises the same duty 24hrs 7days for a month. The same Medal was awarded.
These were considered conflicts not a war. To apply for disability is such a huge affair that he cannot handel himself Where do we go to for help
