Thanks T-bird

I had a fall about a month ago which resulted in an ambulance ride to the ER. The bills are starting to come in, one I already paid. I have no other insurance but was reading that the VA should pay for the associated medical bills. Can anyone help me out here with some information? I haven't had a trip to the ER for decades and have not a clue how the process is supposed to work for 100% vets. Thanjk you very much!

Does anyone know what the current DIC is for the widow of a 100% disabled vet? Thanks

Actually it all comes down to Congressional Intent if it isn't spelled out clearly in the authorizing legislation. If an Agency makes a determination in how it will interpret authorizing legislation an individual or entity still has the ability to seek a legal determination outside the Agency.

Update - it took about 6 months but I was ultimately granted Social Security Disability with 7 years until I will be reviewed.

Through the years I have never submitted a request for mileage reimbursement until today. I was reading the write-up and it stated there was a $3 deductible each way but that the deductible may be waived based on the previous year's income or "if you are in receipt of a VA pension". I have no idea what they mean by this? I'm rated at 100% and obviously receive disability pay, but I had never thought of it as a "pension". Any idea what they are talking about? Thanks!

I've now been waiting 4 months and haven't heard a peep from Social Security or the State Disability Determination people. I wonder what is going on?

I'm a 100% P&T vet and applied for SSD the end of March. My application is still noted as " Disability Determination Pending". I was wondering if anyone else is in Oregon and can let me know how long it took to get an initial decision? Thanks!

Thanks to you both, I guess I'll call Peggy and make sure they processed it and it is in the right hands. I'll also ask why it isn't showing in Ebenefits. Green

Question, when you have asked the VA to CUE itself regarding an obvious error, was the action noted on ebenefits? I sent the letter and all the supporting documentation to the intake center. I have a return signed receipt so I know it was received prior to a year from the decision. I however can't find any mention of it on ebenefits. Thank you

Curious about the VA Medical Center in Oregon and how they deal with disabled Vets needing specialized equipment? I'll be moving shortly and am wondering if they will support my Insulin Pump that I received in Montana. Would appreciate any feedback. Green

I'm going to head to the medical center records department on Thursday and ask for a copy. Once I have it I'll go to the patient advocate and ask what is going on.

Not trying to be paranoid but I'm wondering why I can't find my treatment notes on blue button. It used to be that you would be forced to wait 3 business days to see your notes but it's been a few weeks for 3 different doctors. Anyone else having this problem?

I'm not advocating poitics, but if I'm gonna have someone fighting for Vet rights this gal is at the top. http://www.theblaze.com/video/final-thoughts-fighting-for-veterans-and-the-fair-treatment-they-deserve/
