Berta thank you and yes we have a VSO also the VFW I have stated our VSO is so busy here in Richmond I emailed Mr. Adkins telling him that we do all the grunt work as should be all we ask him to do is look over the paper work and make sure it is order. He does not give us any advice, I learn more here than from him example if you remember my dad is the one I started the T rating topic our VSO never heard of it refused to look into it after we got all the papers together from the doctors as well as the criteria from VA he mailed it to VA Roanoke another example dad is 100% PT for TBI head trauma with loss of balance and severe seizure disorder he also is 70% for TBI depression several other ratings for 50, 40, 30, 20, 10% now he had to know that without two 100% separate rating he did not qualify for a R rating he let us put in for it do all this work getting letters from his doctors and family us running up and down the road just for me to find out from Phil and John on Had it.com that he was at a moot and L1/2 is what he should drawing. So now here we go again with a new claim for the big new T rating our dad has loss of use of legs due to balance he is not paralyzed but cannot walk and has a VA power wheel chair we pay and hire round the clock care to feed and bathe him. This new rate will help all severe TBI veterans. As for Pete's remark what is a VSO job if not to give good advice and look over paper work to shorten the time frame my family farms we are not lawyers sir.
