The amount of Social Security benefits you receive, both when disabled and when retired, is generally based on your average lifetime earnings. However, when you become blind, you can request a disability âfreeze.â This means that your benefits calculation can be frozen where it was prior to your blindness.
I agree with your friend that you should apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI). You can receive both SSDI and VA compensation benefits. You do not say how long you have been disabled, but if it has been seventeen months or more, start the application before the end of the month to avoid possible loss of benefits. agree with your friend that you should apply for Social Security Disability (SSDI).
