Beginning in March 2014, the Social Security Adminstration will expedite disability claims by veterans that have a 100% permanent and total disability rating from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). These veteran applications will be treated as a high priority and decisions will be expedited by SSA. In order to receive the faster service, veteran's must provide proof of their disability rating with their VA Notification Letter. You no longer need to be classified as a Wounded Warrior to receive expedited processing.
