How To Ask For An Earlier Eed
First of all..... THANKS TO ALL FOR THE VALUABLE INFORMATION I HAVE RECEIVED ON HADIT FOR THE LAST 2 YEAR. Finally I was awarded 100% IU along with P&T status. No future examinations scheduled. MY QUESTION IS:: I filed a NOD in March 2007 to be made P&T. March 28th was made my EED. My wife whom has been in the hospital 5 times in the last 2 years has applied for CHAMPVA. The Champva rep. told me the last 2 hospital stays(one in June and one August ) bills would be rectroactive since my EED was March 28. (IS THERE ANY WAY TO ASK THE VA FOR AN EARLIER EFFECTIVE DATE). I WAS P&T IN MY OPINION MORE THAN 2 YEARS AGO, MY PROBLEM IS CONVINCING THE VA OF THAT.... An…

Thanks Hadit
Hello all..I just registered as a member here although I have been picking your collective brains as a guest for some time now. I am 60% rated presently and am fighting several pending claims and appeals. Ever since I was discharged in 2000 the Waco VA has been jerking my chains. I used to sit back and shake my head in bewilderment and astonishment..eventually I started getting mad! Several months ago I started surfing the internet and stumbled across this website. The knowledge I have gained while reading the posts here in the forum has armed me with ammunition and I am firing back at the incompetence with confidence! I have recently filed 2 CUEs..reopened a denied…

Help In Getting Non-formulary Real Zocor
Hey all, A little history. Back in Feb 2006 my VA PCP wanted me to take ZOCOR (The real stuff by brand name, not just simvistatin). My cholesterol at that time was 205. In March of 2006 I decided to go ahead and try the medication as I was encouraged to by other VA doctors including the neurologist. I called the VA Clinic and asked the doctor to go ahead and prescibe the Zocor. In late March of 2006 I received the brand named ZOCOR, small triangle pink pills with ZOCOR embedded on them. I was to take 1/2 a tablet (10 mg) daily. So the last week of March of 2006 I was taking them faithfully. In May of 2006 I had another fasting blood draw of which my total cho…

How Do You Instigate A Cue Claim &
Well, I knew it would take awhile, but I didn't plain on denials across the board. They didn't even give me the C&P I had asked for and my VA Rep had asked for with assurances that they would. Of course that was a Verble assurrance that they would conduct one to get a deffenative answer on my problem What I need to know now, is how do I present my CUE claim that I have been working on, it seems that this is the only way I am going to prevail. Who do I send a CUE claim to and/or where tp send it to? I want to know, since the last time I sent a CUE claim to the VARO, they took as a claim to reopen and didn't seem to know what a CUR claim was. I am at the st…

ptsd Need Advice On Filing Ibs /sleep Disorder/ Joint Pain Claim
I realize this may sound silly but I need some advice. BTW., I've been through this whole forum and others, so I have read the info, it's just too much to digest. I'm PGW vet, I have all the symptoms of IBS and have for years (however, no mention of it in SMR). I also have chronic sleep disorder. I went to the gulf war registry exam. I talked about the sleep disorder (night sweats, nightmares, cannot stay asleep without meds, etc). I also talked about chronically painful joints. (I'm still in my thirties but I feel like I'm 90) A few weeks later I got a letter thanking me for participating, at the bottom of the letter, it stated, 'you have the following major health …

Lou
Just got of the phone with the Dav rep. talked about my denial for Lou of lower extremities and his reply for the denial was that a person haves to be wheelchair bound or be an amputee. I informed him that a wear bilateral leg braces and that one of my service connected disability was causing lou and his reply good luck because it was not going to get nowhere. What a way to help these are people that you pay a life membership to join the Dav and this is how they help you. I requested to change this guy and was told they could not. Ever since I have this guy is nothing but denials I feel he is all for the VA and nothing for the vet. Need advice on this one from people that…

Neuropathy
I had been rated at 10% for left foot 10% for right foot 10% for upper left leg and 10% for upper right leg. I had the required exam that found my neuropathy had worsened . The VA changed my Rating to 20% for left foot and 20 % for right foot, however there is now no rating for left and right upper. IS THIS STANDARD ROUTINE OF THEM ? WHAT SHOULD I DO ?
