Been On Va Pension Way To Long

Recommended Posts

I am going on 10 yrs on va pension. Does this have anything to do with me getting service connection.They say that i am at 60%.

Last year 2010 I applied for sc an was turned down.I am in the process of doing my NOD letter.

Am I on the right track or do i need alot of help. My wife an I are doing this on our own.

I was not given a new c&p exam since 2000 when i first went on va pension.

thank you for all the help in this matter.

No it dont,but pension is for veterans who served in the military during times of war that didnt have a medical probably while in service, to get service connected compensantion.

I personally believe that there are thousands of Veterans on Pensions who should be Service Connected. If you are doing it yourself you need a diagnosis which you have if you are getting a pension. Than you have to link it to your service.

If you could explain what your disability is and how you think it started during your Service I think we may be able to help you.

You should also consider going to a Veterans Service Officer and getting them to help you.

Good Luck

I think many thousands of vets on VA pension and others with SC conditions are walking around without the proper compensation. This is a shame and a pity. If you have been gettting a VA pension for what are essentially SC conditions that is a real shame.

Yes Pete and John- I sure agree with both of you-

then again a SC rating would have to produce compensation that is higher then the monthly pension amount for it to impact on the veteran.

I think many vets get a pension and then never pursue the possibility that they might have a service connected condition and if rated properly-it could be a higher monthly amount than the pension.
