Cyrosurgery On Foot
I had the cyrosurgery today on my left foot. Not a big deal. If it helps me I will recommend it to others here with foot problems. They basically freeze the nerves and tissues in your foot which is supposed to radically bring down inflammation and even kill the nerves that are irritated. It is an alternative to more invasive procedures and is done for PF and PN. I know quite a few here have those problems.

hypertension The Va Goofed?
I filed a reopen claim in Jul 09 for heart disease/heart bypass secondary to my SC hypertension. The VA rec'd the claim 4 Aug 09. In Sep/Oct/Nov 09, I was scheduled for several C&P exams (stress test, EKG, ECG, x-rays, etc) with QTC. Concurrently with my heart disease exams, the VA decided to reevaluate my migraines, so they scheduled me for a C&P exam with QTC specifically for migraines. On 14 Dec 09 I rec'd a call from QTC saying they were finished with my heart disease C&Ps and was going to transmit their findings to the VA that day. On 15 Dec 09, the VA sent me a decision letter on my migraines, stating that there would be no change to my 30% rating. …

Retirement Pay And Va Disability Pay
Hi Gurus, I'm hearing different answers on this one from non-retirees/non-VA people. Need help. If I am rated 100% schedular (not mental; can fully work) when I retire, how does this affect my retirement check? I've heard the word offset used when there is a VA check and a retirement check. Or do you get your full retirement check AND your VA % rating check (the money posted on the VA website)? Can someone please tell me how that works or where to find the info? I searched for it, but I keep seeing different answers or posts from years ago. As you can see by my questions, it's kind of hard to word what I want to say, to even search for the answer. In other word…
