I am 60 and live in Pennsylvania. I was recently awarded a non-service connected disability pension from the Veterans Administration. When i tried to apply online for Social Security Disability Insurance, I was rejected because i "did not meet the 20 work credits needed in the preceding 10 years before i became disabled " to qualify.
I've earned well above the work credits needed to collect SS retirement when i turn 62.
Is this the law?~ it does not seem right to me. Do i have any grounds to appeal the decision?
