I might have communicated what I was asking wrong. My son just finished college in May and I have received all the money for him being in college $218 a month. I got my P&T rating in June and they said he could get retro pay for his Chapter 35 benefits which is around $1200 a month times 45 months. I was asking would I have to pay back the $218 a month I received while he was in school since they are going to retro his chapter 35 benefits back to when he started school. Sorry to keep asking this question. Thanks

I might have miss worded my question. I was getting $218 a month for school age child over 18. Now I’m P&T with Chapter 35 benefits retroed back a few years he get the chapter 35 pay around 1200 a month. Do I have to pay back that $218 a month I was getting before I was P&T. Thanks

When I was 80% disabled I received money for my son in college. I am now P&T and they retroed it back to before he started college. So now he is able to get the full Chapter 35 benefit. My question is will they ask me to repay the money I was getting when I was 80%. Thanks I hope this is in the right section.

HELP... Filed for DRO 07/2015 Indianapolis no word since. Is their a normal time frame for this or is it just a long process. Thanks

I read C&P notes the question (does limit my ability to work impact that's what they said on two different conditions)I hope that's good for IU.

I had a C&P exam on the 29th and the has been completed on the 31st that's fast. I don't know if that's good or bad, the claim is for IU they say the letter will be mailed out on the 4th. I checked the A8B letter no changes to it yet hopefully it changes on the 4th. If any one has any thoughts please post them. Thanks

Funny you mentioned alcohol I got in trouble once when I was 18 and hadn't had a drink since age 20 but he said I had a drinking problem. It was some other things to. My lawyer called me back and told me to chill and not to get so worked up, he said that was his job. Thanks for all replies.

I'm gonna check into it. I will talk to my lawyer first. Sending it to the news sounds good, but I will triple check before I do that. Those people that file the false claims should be caught, I think all c&p exams should be recorded by the VA just to keep everything in check. Thanks again for the replies.

I did check with the VA downtown Indy before I recorded it. They said it was ok because Indiana is a one party consent state. The VA psych I see locally strongly disagrees with the c&p examiner. I have an appt. with the patient advocate next week I gonna ask to speak to the VA hospital administrator if possible. In my mind that examiner should be dealt with, if he done that to me just imagine how many others have been done this way. It makes double work for the VA automatically since his exam carries a lot of weight. Thanks for all the replies.

My lawyer filed a NOD/DRO Review for my initial denial. To make a long story short the c&p examiner wrote down his own answers to the questions he asked me. He also stated he read my file I see a local VA Psych in my town and he does not agree with it either. I recorded my entire c&p because I live in a one party state. My attorney had the recording transcribed and his answers he typed in do not match the recording. Is there anything I can do with this information to help my NOD move quicker. I do have some NM evidence to turn in but I was just wondering about the recording. Thanks for any advice.

Ebenefits does show under disabilities the my claim for depression due to SC disabilities has the L arrow meaning that it is included with my my migraines but nothing about IU.

No VSO I do have a lawyer but I talked to them yesterday and they didn't put in for it. In Jim's mail bag he said that they are probably looking at IU I'm 90% and what I put in for didn't get me any higher. Thanks

I understand what you are saying but I didn't ask for an increase on anything else. Just the one claim I put in for. Thanks

I'm not working, I just found it odd to see on the completed status of ebenefits IU (new) when I didn't put in for it. Didn't know what it meant. Thanks

Hi I'm new to this: I put in for depression due to SC conditions. On ebenefits it shows completed and now the part where it said depression due to SC conditions also says individual unemployability (new) and I just wondered what that meant. I didn't put in for IU I am 90% before this claim was put in. Thanks Hate to post in two places but no reply on other board. Sorry
