My questions are: Will I get another rating letter, with the correct RATE? Will the retro pay in a check, or direct deposit, now that I have it started If its direct deposit, will the retro pay be included in the monthly check or will it be seperate

5. Should I File?

   I have been told by many of the doctors I see that I'm borderline diabetic and to watch my diet. The last readings I had for my blood surgar were 124, 124, 147, and 178. I know I should ask for a A1C test but it will be 2 or 3 months before I see my VA PCP. Should I file a claim for DMII or wait until I get a solid diagnosis. Sorry if this has been answered in a previous post. Jeff

6. lumbosacral Decision Made On Incomplete Claim

   Presently rated 20% Lumbosacral strain with osteoarthritis. 2008 attempted to increase rating/become eligible for individual unemployability. The RO ignored everything I submitted and decided my rating would remain as before as there has not been any loss of ROM in lumbar area.

They acknowledged receipt of claim, not listing specific items as I submitted them. I sent back the VCAA requesting 90 day delay. In same package I requested copy of C-File.

10. Question About Retro

    I believe I read in a previous post a few months back, that the NSC pension is deducted from retro and the money goes back to the VA- my question is what happened to the offset money that had been offset with SS /so the combined amount equaled the NSC as it would have been before it was offset? :o Will they take out the lawyers fees first? I know the SS retro did- I am noticing in the decision the $ figures go to 08' there are 11 months of 09 as well but they arent on there-so I'm assuming they will be taking back the 11 months of 09 NSC and then pay the difference? am I close Thanks MrsVet PS; this keeps you busy crunching numbers--have some of you guys …
