ptsd Should Follow My Own Advise To You All
Men and women just this AM I mentioned again here how the c files and med recs can reveal so much we might have not considered- well- I recently asked the VA for decisions on 2 claims I filed in 2004 that they seem to be ignoring- they stemmed from my husband's Sec 1151 claim and then my reopen of it- His claim was based on such lousy PTSD therapy that he feared his PTSD would excalate and cause his death with HBP and heart attack- 6 months later he died. Hs HBP was not controlled well at all and VA agreed this contributed to his death- and the heart disease- I proved he had it but VA never rated it-but in 1997 they agreed it had been misdiagnosed and contributed …

I hurt my back in the army and i am currently at 20% for my back. The problem is that i can't do the things that i used to do. The problem is that i used to do construction because it payed good. Now i do office work but only pays 5.15 per hour. I have a family and it is hard to support them on this kind of pay. Is there anything that i can do? (currently using gi bill and going to school full time) Some people have told me to write a letter to va telling them about my problems with work and not being able to do the former things that i used to do. Any ideas.

Blind Vets
On the news tonight there was a blinded vet who was being given a seeing eye dog by a charity. The VA does not supply these dogs to blind service-connected vets. This really gets me. The blind vet is basically a charity case. I guess if you get severely wounded in Iraq you better get out your tin cup.

Need Information On 38 U.s.c Laws Back In 1974&1979
Does anyone have access to 38 U.S.C, Law for the years that cover 1974 & 1979. I'm sure their must be some way to access them on the internet, but I have not been able to find the right way to do so, I have only been able to get the current 38 USC laws. I'm trying to dumb down my CUE claim down so that a 10 year old could read. It appears I put to much information in my CUE claim that they do not know what I am asking for, whether it is a CUE or Reconsideration. This very much similiar to when I asked for reconsideration and they took it to mean a new claim to reopen with new and material evidence, but they didn't ask which one I wanted to do, back then. I kno…

Long-Term Outcome of Motor Vehicle Accidents This current study1 is a 5-year follow-up of a group of accident patients from a 1-year follow-up study2 published in 1993.
