What Is The Truth?
Hello, I was talking to a VSO regarding my husband and the benefits he will receive should I pass away first (I am the 100% P&T veteran). The VSO said my husband will receive no monthly amount of money, no commisary, no PX priviledges if I die of something other than the S/C disabilities. If I die crossing the street, hubby gets zilch. However, if I die from peripheral neuropathy and/or the other disabilities from multiple sclerosis, my husband will receive some benefits---and he will need to apply for them for the VA to approve or disaprove. Any thoughts on this? Please help. Many thanks, HG I am not a military retiree, I was medically discharged with asthma at…

tdiu Got The Big White Envelope From The Amc After Years!
Yup. Got it. Not as much as I had expected/hoped, but SERVICE CONNECTION, by golly. I just KNEW that I hadn't been imagining all this, but that it really did happen. 20% They talk about my "buddy statements". They talk about my X-Rays. They talk about my private doctor's opinion......they talk about a lot of stuff that they used to come up with this rating. And, even though they list as having received my Social Security Disability Determination granting me SSDI......not a word. And, even though they sent me for a C&P, and the C&P doc states that I am in constant of pain (7 over 10) and that it interferes with any activity.....not a word. Then they say t…

Got This From The 1st Cav Assn's Publication "saber"
ALERT FOR VETERANS WHO HAVE BEEN INJURED AT A VA MEDICAL CENTER If you were injured while waiting for treatment at a VA Hospital before Oct. 1, ‘97, and if you filed a claim, before Oct. 1, ‘97, under 38 USC 1151, for VA benefits to compensate you for your injury you should read what follows very carefully. Most claims by veterans who were hurt, while waiting for treatment and who filed a claim before Oct. 1, ‘97, had their claim denied by the VA because the VA determined that the injury was unrelated to the treatment. For some veterans the law has now changed in their favor because of the case of Jackson v. Nicholson, decided Dec. 30, ‘05 by the US Court of Appe…

Loss Of Use
Hey guys could some one please break this down into laymens terms for me: Loss of use of a hand or a foot, for the purpose of special monthly compensation, will be held to exist when no effective function remains other than that which would be equally well served by an amputation stump at the site of election below elbow or knee with use of a suitable prosthetic appliance. The determination will be made on the basis of the actual remaining function of the hand or foot, whether the acts of grasping, manipulation, etc., in the case of the hand, or of balance and propulsion, etc., in the case of the foot, could be accomplished equally well by an amputation stump with pros…
