I'll be making a few posts in categories to cover my bases. I am 47 and SC'ed for 50% hearing loss. I work as a mail processor at the PO, 16 + years (8 years 8 months 2 weeks and 6 days 'til retirement). Last year I finally got active in the process and got good advice here at Hadit. After seeing a VA Psych and an SO, I filed for some other things we felt should be considered. WHAM!

Stolen Va Data Goes Beyond Initial Reports
Stolen VA data goes beyond initial reports By HOPE YEN, Associated Press Writer Wed May 31, 12:24 PM ET http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060531/ap_on_...HNlYwMlJVRPUCUl -snip- Personal information on 26.5 million veterans that was stolen from a Veterans Affairs employee this month not only included Social Security numbers and birthdates but in many cases phone numbers and addresses, internal documents show. The three pages of memos by the VA, written by privacy officer Mark Whitney and distributed to high-level officials shortly after the May 3 burglary, offer new details on the scope of one of the nation's largest security breaches. The memos were obtained Wedn…

Service Connected
I am wondering if a veteran who served during wartime and was in a combat zone should receive additional consideration because of such service when thier claim is granted.

ptsd Vets Willing To Help Themselves
Hello everyone! B)) It's been awhile since i last posted so here's a little background about me:effective last Nov 3rd i was awarded 100% P/T and this past Apr was awarded SSD the first time around without having to appeal,etc. I attend weekly PTSD group therapy which helps me cope with this dark companion called PTSD which brings me to why i'm now posting this. What often discourages,surprises,and sometimes saddens me in talking to other vets both in or out of group therapy is how many are so self-deafeating and negative when it comes to helping themselves. I just helped 3 other vets get 100% P/T because they were willing to do the necessary work involved rathe…

tdiu John 999
John, I'm not very computer savy and I could not answer on your question off the private post so I am making a new post here. Your question was how long did it take to get the 100% TDIU, P&T. I guess the easy answer is the retro goes back to August 2004. I started with DMII, Tinnitus and added PN after discovering the HADIT board. First lower body then upper body PN. I am lucky that my wife has a good job with health insurance that helped us survive till the award. I dismissed a NOD for HBP as my SO said we have achieved the desired goal and any further claims might screw up my decision. I kinda disagree as the TDIU is P&T. The HBP was diagnosed before DMII and…
