  1. 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.
  2. actually i have had sleep apnea in my records for a long time it just said unspecified beside it . I am starting to get impatient waiting on my results hopefully they will arrive today
  3. Ok I have not posted in quite a while. My current claim just moved to complete. This claim took exactly one year. My claim was for insomnia with sleep apnea, major deppressive disorder, and ptsd. The only c&p exam i got was for a pscharist they didnt get me a sleep study. In october my house burnt down and i am now in the homeless program living in a transitional housing unit. I have been trying to get a sleep study for over two years. Last month my homeless counser made a request to get me a sleep study. I had a appointment in less then a week and recieved my cpap last wednesday and on friday my claim became complete. and there is a regulatory and prodedural review posted on ebenefits. and my folder moved from muskogee to souix falls. What does the review mean. I am still waiting on my packet and I know I will have to appeal it because of the cpap.
  4. My counselor just retired I got a letter that I would be reassigned but until then if I have any problems to contact her supervisor
  5. I filed another claim in March for sleep apnea ptsd and mdd i sent in all the information they requested and it has now moved to the decision phase without any c&p appts

  8. there is exceptions to that 12 year rule while you may have lost your gi bill the eligibility for voc rehab can be extended
  9. thats great that soon we should see some head way in the back log
  10. well thats kinda what i figured I have never used the DAV van as of yet but I was considering it as my vechile starting to act up and I am afraid it might break down on me ok another question I think i read somewhere or heard form someone that DAV dont transport for mental health I dont understand how that could be true but I figure one of you will tell me it aint
  11. I have a question If I have DAV take me to my appointments am I still entitled to the travel pay
  12. sorry you are having problems with your counselor I must be one of the lucky ones to get a good one first time I wish you could have the same one as I have but the bad news is she is gonna retire half way through my schooling make sure they get you a new computer for school they will give you forms for reimbursement of stuff like printer cartridges, internet service i get 35 a semester added to my school acct for supplies just wish i could get transportation covered its 50 miles one way
  13. wow less then a month in the decison phase thats incredible was this a one item claim how long where you in development you should be able to check the letter generator to see what you new percentage is
  14. there is a excel program that is supposed to be set up correctly and according to that this is what i come up with bilatterals 40=40 40=64 combined +10%=70.4 ok so we are the same at that point 70=70 30=79 20=83 10=85 total combined 85% rating 90%
  15. voc rehab is a good program I have a great counselor and she really got the ball moving real fast i applied in jan and started school in march
