I sure am praying she can stay cancer free and thanx . I haven,t filed for tdiu I just told them that I wanted to be evaluated anywhere from 70% to 100% whatever the evidence would bear. I am getting 50% now and it has taken some internal fortitude to file this claim as I know how sneaky they can be and possibly reduce me just because they can. Yes that is one of my goals to get my wife on the champ va hospital bills are killing us. I am retired but was on ssi before i retired my wife is still my representative payee and has to file a report every year .

Thanx and I will see what I can do I did send in the records from my last stay I downloaded them from myhealthevet with the blue button.

Only thing got me worried is a reduction but I got my first award that went back to 2002 and before this claim is settled I will be 67 yrs old what my chances of a reduction ,I just don't see how they could do it.

Well from what I know the department of veterans affairs can get my records from a VA hospital anytime they want and I did tell them to retrieve records all way back to 2009 when I got my last increase from 30% to 50% .I have done this before but been long time hard to remember exactly what to do.

Ok I told them I think , i have just filed this claim about a week ago .

Well all my records are at the VA in Memphis TN and that is the only place I go . Sorry I gotta get used to using this forum.

Hi!!!

You have reached the Board of Veterans Appeals. Your file is located at the Jackson Regional Office. For your convenience I will forward your inquiry to the regional office and provide contact information below. Jackson Regional Office 1600 E. Woodrow Wilson Avenue Jackson, MS 39216

What a crock finally was able to get through ! They do this deliberately to confuse and discourage you as much as they possibly can !

I just have tried the new iris it is a flop ,and i am mad as hell ,why screw with somethig that works , hate the b-trds !!!!!!!!!!

What is wrong with the iris ? Seems they want to make it difficult as they can !

I know what would get the word out allocate 10 computers to those who want tp participate, then let the service officer for each area allow you to put a notice in their office and give a number where you can be contacted. This would be of benefit to the service officer as the vet filing a claim will not have to worry them about questions and status of claims they could get the answers to most of their nquestions on the internet. I really believe this idea would help a lot of vets who do not know the ropes and have given up.

Hey that would work,look at it this way with a computer a vet has a better chance of finding what is right for him, be it a job ,voc training, endless possibilities. I just cannot imagine filing a claim without one,and if it had not been for a computer and guidance from hadit and sites like it i would never have won my claim. I was able to instantly contact senators congressman,and keep up with my claim through IRIS. I sure would help in any way i could though i have a lot to learn putting one together is pretty simple,you know just a basic computer. I would be willing to go around in my surrounding area and help the vet get familiar with logging on the various sites to get help and teach what little i know to them. I really believe this would help a lot of down and out vets who have given up and need a leg up ,not to mention the bvet is going to feel better about himself knowing he has the power of the computer and the friends of hadit and other helpful sites.

Hey that is a wonderful idea,as a matter of fact this lady contacted me as she heard i was into computers and wanted one for her kids in school. She said mr skunk ,i do not make but $200 a week and i was hoping you could help me. So my heart was broken and i let her have a real good dell for just what i had in it and threw a lexmark printer in with it . I let her have it all for $50 .Then she came back and said she did not have a mouse for it so i gave her a mouse. Hey that was the best feeling i had in a long time ,to help some one especially if they are seeking a better education for their kids. She has come back and wants another bone and i am waiting on my bid to go through to get some more as she said she knew some other families who needed one for their kids. I am not in it for the money ,just to break even on the parts i have to buy will be alli need. We could really make this work all we need is the old computers people and schools etc throw away,sometimes there is hardly anything wrong with them at all. I am willing to participate just show me the way computers for vets that cannot afford one ,could use it to help with their claims or check out hadit.com. I would not want to be the ring leader ,but will participate if some one gets it going .
