I have returned after a long hiatus. Its great to be back here amoung friends and comrades!!! I realley miss interacting with you all here. I hope to get my place here were I left off helping others and continue that. Speaking on that, there have been many ups and downs as many can speculate on my end. I got married. Had a child. Bought a house, then all hell broke lose!!! My daughter passed away from ovarian cancer 2016 and soon after my wife passed away from a heart attack in April of 2020. So things have not been easy. Im just hoping I can find a way to help others so I dont feel suisidal again. Thanks!!!

I put this to my attorney who is out till the 5th of Oct. I have a service-connected knee conditions which results in me being unable to walk for more than a few feet, bend, or do any strenuous physical activity. Im not able to exercise with this condition and must spend most of my days inactive or else I experience severe pain. As a result of my inactivity, I have gained weight and is considered to be obese. My obesity then led to developing diabetes, a condition for which being overweight or obese can put a person at risk of developing. My obesity was the result of a service-connected condition (my r-knee initially, dated 8/28/92), and then it led me to develop a non-service-connected condition (obesity).

What my attorney told me 2 days ago: Hi Erich, We would need to show that your obesity caused functional loss, and is related to your service. In addition, you are currently 100% disabled. While there are pending claims that may result in an earlier effective date for your 100% rating, getting your obesity service connected now will not have any effect on your overall rating or monthly payment. So, if we applied to have your obesity service-connected, it wouldn’t chance your current rating. However, if I can use this case for any of your other claims that might result in an earlier effective date for your permanent and total rating, I certain will.

About Clinical Appointment Visits Concerns?
ranger11bv replied to Buck52's question in VA Disability Claims Research
This is a US statute. Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a "one-party consent" law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2511 -

Well its been while since was here. Good and bad news: Good; I got 10% for my tinnitus. The backpay will equate to around $7,392. I hired a civilian attorney and within 3 months my appeal was in front of the BVA IN DC!!! The bad; It wont get to me for another week. Im now completely out of food. Im eating some of the ferret food I have here. I have tried the VA, Salvation Army, among others. I got to within a hairs width a couple of days ago of committing suicide. But as you can see, Im here....
