Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted September 17, 2015 Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2015 Unofficially today I was granted P andT, and IU from February 2015 to March, then p and t scheduler from March 2015 onward at S rate. I'm not sure how to feel. My path was not as long as many of you, since Nebraska seems to be faster about some things, but I started ultimately at discharge in 2002 and incremented as things presented themselves as needed. Time to find somewhere to volunteer, and work a little bit, maybe. Time to read the forums on what to do now- im 38. Im not sure what it 'means' yet. Im still processing. flores97 and Vync 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted September 17, 2015 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted September 17, 2015 Congratulations!It can be quite a surprise at first, especially when the retro hits your bank.Your hard work and persistence paid off. I'm just a little older than you, but not IU, so I still try to work and keep busy, but it's not easy. It helps pass the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted September 17, 2015 Author Moderator Share Posted September 17, 2015 That was the weird part. I left work in March. VA rated IU from February until May, then from May on P and T (most of my CandPs were in May). Not much retro, but ive been doing this a bit at a time, not filing for all contentions outright from discharge. Knowing now what I do, would I have done it different? Maybe. I probably lost out somewhere along the way, but ultimately I woke up this AM not feeling like a failure for not having a job and wondering when the next bill was going to get paid and how. This also bolsters my SSDI application considerably. My lawyer was understandably thrilled (for many motivations, im sure) Andyman73 and Vync 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
