California is 100%...

I am also 100 P&T. I went to the VA Hospital in Loma Linda, and since they were so backup with appointments they sent me out to find a Dentist. All they said was to make sure the Dentist Office was in their network, and that was it. Now, I get seen by a very good Dentist of my choice. They VA has come through with every suggestion the Dentist has made concerning my Dental needs, and they have paid 100% of my care. Thank you VA...... Aggie Semper Fi:

Hahaha, yes sir, it is. I love living here. Came here after leaving Camp Pendleton in 1995. Then retired at Fort Irwin in 2010, and decided to stay here. I'm actually a Neighbor of Roy Rodgers, well, if he were alive..

Congratulations guys, you did it. You guys deserve it. Life just got a whole lot easier. Just please take care of your Husbands health condition, and everything else will be just fine... Good luck, and God Bless. Aggie

I am also a retired veteran, and when I was rated 100% the VA also sent DFAS a request for audit. This is done so that they don't over pay us. Once DFAS is done with their Audit, they then release it back to the VA. Once the VA gets it, then it pretty much on them to release the retro. I believe it took me around 60 days to get my retro once DFAS sent it back to the VA. After that, it's pretty much like clock work. Every 1st of the month the VA, and DFAS pay me right on time. Good luck Major. Things will come together for you soon, it's just a matter of time. Thank you for your service Sir. Aggie.

Well, first let me say how sorry I am to know that you are suffering from Migraine Headaches. My wife suffers from them everyday, and believe me when her headaches come, her day is pretty messed up for at-least several hours. As for the Sleep Apnea, I suffer from them also. I was diagnose with sleep Apnea while on Active Duty, which I see you were too. As for the rating, it's an automatic 50% disability rating from the VA, of course you will have to use a CPAP for the rest of your life which will help you sleep better at nights. Problem is, it sucks trying to get used to the machine, but with time, and determination you should over come the anxiety that comes while getting used to it. I wish you well, and I hope your claim is decided in your favor in a timely matter. Good Luck, and God Bless. Aggie

This news makes me so happy NavyWife. I am so happy for both of you. You guys deserve it. But you, you are a very special Lady, never giving up, and giving it your very best to assure that your Hubby got was is rightfully his. His is a very lucky man to have such a wonderful wife. You are truly a "Hero". Even tho we are at 100% P&T which makes our lives financially better, I'm sure that when I say this, most of the Veterans here would agree that we would rather have our health back. Anyway, Congratulations. Stay Safe, and May the Good Lord continue to Bless you, Hubby, and your Children. Aggie

Congratulations on your new rating. Keep trying for 100% P&T... You've earned it. Thank you for your service. Aggie........

Yep.....

Congratulations on the Win. You guys deserve it. May the Good Lord keep Blessing you both.. Aggie.....

I am so so glad for you and your family NavyWife. I waited almost 4 years for my claim to be complete, so I know how you feel. So now, relax, and enjoy. You guys deserve it. God Bless, and may you guys live long , and Happy. Aggie

Great news. Glad to hear that everything came out in your favor. Now just enjoy it, and live carefree my brother Marine. Semper FI.........

Yea Buddy, Good stuff. He did me good too. One email to him, and I had my dependency claim completed in 3 weeks, after waiting for over 4 plus years. He is a good man, and I truly believe that he is trying to clean up the system.

Thank you so much for your comment georgiapapa. I am definitely done with them now. It took me 4 years and 3 months to get this behind me. Rated at 100% P&T,SSD, and my Military Retirement sure does help me, because at 60 I can barely run or walk fast. No more life in the fast lane for me. Time to chill, and enjoy my wife and grandchildren Thank you all, and God Bless.

Well Ladies, and Gentleman. The VA has finally finished my claim. Last thing that was lingering around was my dependency claim which was being backdated to 2013 win I was awarded 100%, when in fact it should have been Sept 1,2010 when I retired. Ater a brief email to the Sec of the VA which I sent out about 3 weeks ago sparked a fire in someone's seat, and my claim was decided, and backdated to 2010. I really appreciate everything you guys did for me in guiding me to success. I am done with the VA now. Thank you so much Navywife for suggesting I email McDonald. Thank you Jesus, and Thank you guys.God Bless. Aggie.
