ptsd Ptsd Payments Vary State To State
WASHINGTON - Veterans coming home from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan with debilitating mental ailments are discovering that their disability payments from the government vary widely depending on where they live, a McClatchy Newspapers analysis has found. As a result, many recent veterans getting monthly payments for post-traumatic stress disorder from the Department of Veterans Affairs could miss out on tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dollars in benefits over their lifetimes. The Bush administration has sought to reassure Soldiers that they will be treated fairly, yet veterans in some parts of the country are far more likely to be well compen…

diabetes Question Regarding Claim
I am a newbie and I wish I had found this site before now. I have several questions and I hope I put this in the right forum, if not please move to the right forum. I have searched this site for the last couple of days for situations similar to mine but I haven't found anything to date.

Cue And Lawyers
I have talked to a couple of lawyers about my CUE claim in the last few days. None of them seem to really understand what a CUE is all about. They are both SSA lawyers doing VA law who have a hard time understanding the fact that a CUE is based on the facts as they were in the CUE'ed decision. My CUE occurred at the VARO, so I have to find lawyers who want to represent me there and not wait years to get to the COVA. I am going to show them my SSA earnings which shows that I never made more than 4500 bucks a year from my discharge in 1971 until 1985. This is a period of about 14 years of being basically IU. Then I got a job with the USPS and started to make some money. Th…
