  1. How do I apply? I am 100% P&T included in that is 60% for failed total knee replacement
  2. I agree with everyone I save this for future reference
  3. Is there "anyone" who is 100% P&T scheduler plus 60% and receiving HB?
  4. Ok I thought so thanks for clarifying that.
  5. So are you saying that If I am 100% P&T which includes one single disability at 60%, I am entitled to HB?
  6. There are a few of us on the board with Bipolar, what exactly did you want to talk about?

  7. where were you stationed? And what are you serviced connected for? I too have mutiple diseases and medical problems.

  9. Thanks Sharon, I am going to file the appeal and open a new claim at the same time. So does the same apply? Thanks
  10. I hope that I can get a speedy reply to this question. But, refresh my memory will a new claim slow down an appeal or for that matter will an appeal slow down a new claim for benefits. Thanks.
  11. Berta, I hope that I was clear and did not mislead you, if so please forgive me please. I was awarded 100% P&T in 2006. I am currently rated at 50% for MDD. This year I requested an "increase" due to the depression worsening. I was hoping for an increase of 100% for the depression which would qualify me for A&A since I am 60% SC for my knee. I am not as good at explaining this sometimes as I used to be, so bear with me. The question is, should I appeal the decision of "no change to current condition"? It just sounds fishy to me that before they made a decision they sent my claim back to the examiner for an addendum. The VA did not perform the surgery on my knee however after the convalescent period the C&P examiner noted that it needed revision surgery. So I went from 10% to 60%. I was already 100% P&T before the TKR. I wish that I knew how to scan the documents, it probably would take me longer to scan than it would if the mail delivered it . And I only can fax to local numbers because we have no long distant on the phone. What exactly is an 1151? And I was using DAV but they are so discouraging around here, so now I trying to just figure out what to do. I think that the VA is cheating me. I don't trust the VA to help me nor myself in going at this alone. But I am sick and often on a rollercoaster of emotions. I hope that I am even typing all this in the right place so that you can see it. Again thank you for responding to my post.
  12. Someone help me understand this. I am 50% SC for MDD secondary to DMII and a host of other SC'ed medical conditions totalling about 14. At my last C&P exam the Dr. noted that my social adaptability and interactions with others appears to be considerably to severely impaired, as well as my ability to maintain employment and perform job duties in a reliable, flexible and efficient manner. Why was ask for an addendum from the examiner? She states that there was no change to my diagnosis! I am 100% P&T with one condition rated at 60% for a failed knee replacement. 1. Should I appeal for 100% for MDD since as stated I can't work 2. Can I claim loss of use of my knee 3. What about A&A if I am successful if I am successful on winning an appeal? Need some guidance here. Be advised that I need extra time to understand some of the responses if there are any, so be patient with me. I have had this info since June 2011.
