THIS IS AN UPDATE RECEIVED CLAIM BACK SATURDAY IN MAIL. Dear Carlie, Phillip Rogers, Berta, John and others whose input has really helped me along the way with this. I want to thank all of you for your help. Also I am somewhat in shock as to some of the results of my claim.
I did not cue. I filed for increase on my S/C MDD, PTSD, I filed for increase on my S/C foot drop, I filed for increase on S/C hip which resulted in shorten leg from bone infection in hip., I filed a new claim on my cervical neck and all the diagnoses from VAMC docs/MRI which the neck was ongoing since presumptive period after medical discharge.
Keep in mind I am already 80% TDIU. Results from claim is Foot drop went from 20% to 30%. Hip remained at 10%, Neck (Cervical) is deferred. (Not sure why). MDD/PTSD went from 30% to 100% and now they want to propose INCOMPENTECY. They also added a SMC S for housebound. I did not get an SMC for the foot.
I AM IN SHOCK. NOT SURE WHY AND I AM NOT INCOMPETENT IN ANY FORM OR FASHION. NOT SURE WHAT HAPPEN WITH THAT.
So I will request a hearing and mail it out tomorrow and send in a rebuttal. My husband and I are good stewards of our financial affairs. We have no lates with our bills. We don't gamble. We have two children under 13. Our kids are taken care of. We own our home and have no lates on our mortgage. I vaguely remember the C&P doc asking who handles the bills and I thought she was asking as in do I have a good support system and I may expressed that my husband does the bills does the majority of the bills. That is by choice not based on any incompentence. I was running a fever that day and found out later on that day. I was sick I was taking an over the counter med for UTI which I get alot. Month later the infection spread to my bladder and I was almost admitted to the VAMC. I refused my PCP was not happy with me. So there was alot medically going on and I can't recall what all was said or done. I know I was very lethargic during the appt cause I was sick as a dog. I agree I do have some issues and its a daily struggle for me but I am not incompetent and I order my meds online and I pay my bills online and some are automatic monthly. I do this so I rarely have to leave the house. I have alot of anxiety and things happen. So why the proposal, not sure. I will attempt to straighten it out though.
Well this isn't doing my anxiety and depression a bit of good and I am happy about some of the results but that part just soured it. If you know what I mean.
