Survivors- a Must read
If you are new to hadit and have DIC questions it would help us tremendously if you can answer the following questions right away in your first post.

"as Likely As Not" ?
i have a question i would appreciate your help with. the va sent my deceased husbands medical file to the va long beach medical center (he was treated here for his severe wound he was honorably discharged for) for a medical opinion as to whether he caught the hep c from the blood transfusions he received during his treatment for the wound in 1978. i spoke to a va agent this past week and was told the opinion came back with the wording "as likely as not" only. Is this the wording that gives the veteran the benefit of doubt? my husband's personal doctor wrote a letter to the va stating the hep c was a direct result of the blood transfusions he received while in the…

"dic" Live Tonight At
Tonight I will join Jerrel Cook, Carol Olszanecki, widow of BWN vet and an excellent veteran's advocate, and a widow named Joanne who is in the initial stages of a DIC claim. This should be an interesting show for veteran's and their spouses as well as for widows of vets. Veterans are always concerned for their loved ones so hopefully many vets and widows and widowers of veterans will tune in. This is one of hopefully more shows on this very important topic. It will eventually be in the Stardust Radio archives if you miss it tonight! http://www.stardustradio.com/ Join us in the chat room if you wish and I wi…

I had this feeling that I needed to go online and check my bank balance this morning....and THERE IT WAS- MY DIC RETRO!! I am so excited and this has taken so much off of me. I just want to dance! Now, as soon as I know that the monies are not going anywhere, I will apply it all towards my car balance. Rockman bought me a new car the end of December 2011. This is the first new car that we have ever bought.You see Rockman wanted to make sure that I had a reliable car to drive and that I would not need a new car for a long long time.He was always thinking of me, not himself. The new Ford was just a tad bit more than a used car with mileage. This payment will bring my balan…
