Thanks for your reply. I think we are on the right track. We have not applied for TDIU as of yet, still waiting on rating determination, then will most likely apply. The claim was filled in '05, incident was in '07.
I was told reimbursemant was NOT retoactive. But since this incident has happened while waiting on the rating.... maybe we still have achance at recovering expenses? If not....guess I will scream to the congressman's office........
After all, if they can convict a Congressman and imprison him and still pay a pension, surely a Nam vet deresves some med treatment payment.
We were in a similar situation over the past 18 months waiting for the claim to be decided. Selling off assests, and actually moving out of our home we had lived in for the previous 17 years, etc. Not complaining, but like you, a fact.

Once your husbands claim is decided and he is service connected, any unpaid bills for emergency treatment from the time you all filed the initial claim, and the decision recieved by the VARO making the service connection should be paid retroactively. You will have to fill out all the VA forms but you should get reimbursed for expenses and unpaid bills for PTSD should be paid.If he is awarded TDIU, then all expenses for any medical should be paid. Did you file for TDIU? with his PTSD claim?
