I am absolutely happy with the service that Allsup, Brett Buchanan and his entire team gave me. I would have never been able to deal with the VA by myself. No one can.
They were just excellent and so professional. I have trouble getting organized these days, but Brett went to the hearing with me and did everything that needed to be done.
Your household income or the severity of your disability does not affect your benefit amount. Your AIME is calculated using up to 35 of your working years. The Social Security Administration SSA adds together the years with the highest indexed earnings and divides them by the total number of months for those years. Then, the average is rounded down to reach your AIME. Your PIA is the base amount of your benefits. Examples of these include temporary disability benefits paid by the state, military disability benefits, and state or local government retirement benefits that are based on disability.
In some states, however, the excess amount is deducted from your other public benefit. The interaction between workers' compensation and other public disability benefits that may reduce your SSDI amount and SSDI can be complicated and varies depending on what state you live in.
