Is There Any Financial Planning Available For Disabled Veterans?
I ask because my DH's therapist is strongly recommending that he consider retirement (before he gets fired for an anger issue-type event). So I'm reading financial planning websites and books, but nobody has information that really applies. I mean, everything I've been reading talks about the urgency of Long Term Care insurance. Well, do we even need it? We both are in Priority 1 status for VA healthcare, and he gets ChampVA benefits. It just seems like all the 'brand-name' sources have little or no knowledge of what disabled vets have or deal with. I tried to follow the link on e-benefits, but got lost. And if my DH does retire early, what then? :( I'…

Qtc Exam Question
On Wednesdays SVR show Dr. Bash discussed the problems some vets have had in obtaining copies of their QTC C & P exam results from the VA before any RO decision has been made on their claim.He had another serious concern as to QTC reports that could reveal additional medical issues which might need immediate medical care. We are trying to find out why this is a problem. Yesterday QTC told me that, once the exam is done by QTC and approved, it is sent to “ ExamTrack” (probably a VA PC program) and then uploaded to VA and this often takes only 3-4 weeks.At that point the exam is owned by the VA and QTC has no ability to release it themselves to any claimant. Que…

P&t
I am curious if P&T requires a seperate application or claim? I am 100% which takes care of the T, but how should I approach the P portion which gets me the benefits that I am already paying for, i.e. my daughter to go to school? Thanks in advance for any insight. Sincerely, Ruski

Va System Can Be So Confusing...
Gosh, just when I thought my claim was going to go on and move forward, already, for another set of eyes to look at it, since it was heading to BVA, I got a last minute call for a new C&P. I find the system so confusing and wonder if this is just another delay? I'm grateful that I will be given the new exam as I'd rebutted the last one as inadequate and VA had to have seen that with matters of record not matching the examiner's report, but they'd not responded prior to now, except to say that the claim was soon to be certified to BVA, but yesterday I get the call for a C&P appointment for Monday. I can't help but wonder what occurred for them to take a step back. …

ptsd What Do I Need To Know To Start An Appeal
My claim just closed for MDD,PTSD,and SLEEP APNEA. I have been waiting over a week for my decision letter. The day before my claim was completed on ebenefits I picked up my CPAP. I was planning on starting my appeal on Monday but I thought I would have my decision letter by now. So now I think I need to wait till I get the envelope in hand before I start the appeal. I would appreciate any helpful advise relating to starting an appeal. And another question I will have to appeal just for the CPAP and according to the rating schedule that will be 50% which would bring me to 70% Now once i get that won do I appeal that for IU or just start a new claim.

Question On Benefits For Being Married If You Are Legally Seperated
Hey got a question If a disabled veteran is not fully disabled at the 100% rating and gets legally seperated how does the VA handle the payments for the wife or husband who is not a veteran? I ask as I am looking at how the VA stipulates payment. I have no idea if any how they fight it out I just want to have the right ammount of money coming in and going out. Thanks and have a good day. I am not wanting to start a flame war or anything just hear what others have done or had done to them. Thanks again...

ptsd What To Do?
How can I find out what info the VA has collected on my claim? I filed my initial claim in Aug 2011 and had a C&P in Sep 2011 for PTSD and Social Anxiety Disorder. With my initial claim application I sent a copy of my DD-214, copies of my VA psychiatrist notes from all of the years I had seen a VA shrink and the form authorizing them to get all other info they might need. But every couple of months I get a update letter from them telling me what they have done and need me to do and they always ask for the same thing. Like proof that I was active duty for 90 days (covered in the DD-214 I sent them) and medical records for what I am claiming (covered in the VA Medical r…

ptsd Question About Claim In Process
Hello all. I will be honest, I posted this topic on another site. However, I am not getting any consistent response. I just hope I can get some opinions on this, I do think its somewhat of a valid topic. Here goes: Information about this first. I filed a "informal" claim on 2/9/11. It was for an increase on Fibromyalgia, IBS, and Patellar Femoral Syndrome (Left Knee), Currently rated at 30%. I also claimed Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and PTSD (under the new rules).
