Thanks for the great information to chew on! I have another question that you might know the answer to. If I have the VA and I opt for the Medicare part A not B, I get into a car accident out of town and get taken to the nearest emergency room (Hospital), the VA will pay for it at least until I get stabilized right? If I have both Medicare and VA will they fight over who will pay and in the meantime I get Jammed with the bill? Please correct me if I’m wrong!

First of all thanks broncovet for the reply. My va here in Augusta is probably above average as far as the va is concerned so I’m ok with going there except for the knife! All 10 of my medications are covered and the next step is surgery and I’ll pass on that for now! I’m 58 and I have until November to decide. I just wanted to here it from you guys and gals because of the plethora of information found here from people who know what they’re talking about! Thanks

Question, I’m 100% P&T and draw SSDI. I recently received my Medicare pamphlet and card with instructions on choosing the part B option. My question is being 100%P&T do I really need part B of Medicare? I figured no but, I wanted to ask the Experts! Thanks, Eric

Yes, my wife thinks so!

Thanks Buck, yeah, no reason to stop using them now. It’s not like I’m going to get better any time soon!

Thanks to both of you for the clarification on this and since I’m going to be 57 around the corner I don’t think they are going to mess with me any time soon. Carlie was a great help on these forums and has left a great deal of information for us to benefit from. As I have said before I’ll ride the wave until it hits the shore!

I’ve never heard anything about that! (Dairy Date) what is it and where’s it at in the regs? That’s ate up that they have something like that up their sleeves. WOW

Thanks. A long fight is now in the books!

Congratulations on the victory pwrslm.

Wow, congratulations! That’s a hard one to get service connected!

Mine was updated within 2 days. I am still waiting on my decision envelope to come! 3 and 1/2 weeks and waiting! Keep checking VA letters. AB8 letter should update soon.

I have an attorney now but he worked on my va claim. Seeing that this will be my first attempt with SSDI do I need him now or maybe wait till the second try if denied? 100%P&T + voc Rehab letter + 56 = ?

Shouldn’t the letter kind of be, like icing on the cake to show another agency’s opinion on my condition?

Finally got my vocational rehab letter today and I think it’s what I need to take to social security for SSDI right?

Congregation on the increase!
