VA form 21-4192, employer out of business.
Greetings, long time since I been here. Sitting with 90% disability and filed for TDIU through state of Florida VSO. I am unable to get an appointment with VSO for a month. VA told me to send a VA 21-4192 to my former employee. I have not worked for them since 1999 and they have went out of business, I worked in the same place from 1971 to 1999 but for different companys. I am guessing I need to notify the VA of this but how exactly do I notify them? I do not see a chat button or form to fill out. Any input, suggestions or wise cracks appreciated. Jim Semper Fi

How do you know if you are a schedular 100% Am I?
What is the big difference between schedular 100% and 100% via TDIU. I am attaching my 3 relevant rating decisions. In January 2022 they conceded I was 40% for my legs. Last July they rated me at 100%. I had assumed because of everything I have heard about being schedular 100% and getting to 100% via TDIU, that they would say I was a schedular 100%, if indeed I was. It seems to me I am. On the VA disability calculator (and others) my different disabilites when combined equal 100% (95). I filed a request for higher-level review primarily because the dimwit issuing the decision chose to ignore the correct effective date of claim that was determined in January 2022…

VA ER fails to address severe pain. Advised to take Tylenol
I am a 100% disabled vet. I am also a retired registered nurse. Last year I went to the ER at a VA facility when I had a severe exacerbation of chronic lower back pain and siatica. The CT scan revealed severe Foraminal Stenosis in one area along with multiple herniated discs. I was told to take Tylenol and make an appointment with my primary care physician. The pain was so severe I could barely walk. I had to use the rail on the wall to get to and from the ER. I spent the next 3 days in bed with excruciating pain unable to do much of anything. Just getting in bed caused tremendous. I was unable to extend my right leg without severe pain. The solution according to the VA …

11 exams in 45 minutes
Optum Serve performed 11 exams in 45 minutes. I am going to attach them here. I am using a lawyer to help with this, but they told me that the only positive exam was for my knees....After reading through it, there are several questions I don't even recall being asked, yet they clicked no on the answer, for example, see attached. how can I have no flare-ups, but report functional loss or impairment for repeated use? She never asked that question. Of course I have flare-ups. If anybody is bored tonight, read through these pages and give me a your thoughts. If I need to rebut these exams, I need to do it before they make a decision. By the way, while it's a sm…

Claim issues
I have filed supplemental claims for several conditions because the VA left the ratings the same when established in 2011, and most are related to Parkinson's Disease and worsening. I was notified by QTC that I have a few exams, but not understanding why? I am 100% P and T with SMC-S and SMC-K One they are doing Male Reproductive DBQ secondary to DM II Agent Orange. I have been SMC-K continuous since May 2001, and held a DM II rating since January 1998. I claimed Chronic Fatigue (heard nothing since July 2023, diagnosed and meet the 60% criteria) , PN they failed to examine my feet. Restless Leg Syndrome the VA states is related to PN, although they are two unrelat…

Using the VA claims online
Using the online VA claim process. After one thought they submitted all support documents for a claim, and you push the button saying this is all I have, “please start my claim”, only to find out you came across something important to your claim, can you still submit it for review?

Please help me interpret this
Morning folks, long time no post. I just got a call from my C&P examiner, and she had a few questions which I answered. After answering her questions, she did tell me the way she did my DBQ, I should be rated at 100% for Meniere's Syndrome. So, right now I'm 100% P&T BEFORE this latest DBQ is sent to the VA. I'm also SMC-L1. I also have A&A. So given this information, what will a 100% for the Meniere's Syndrome do? Will it possibly bump me up to SMC-O? Thanks. 2-2-0 HOOAH!
