Hello friends, there has been a change, I use to be longhairedvet,.. now im papabravo61.... so same circus, different clown.... see ya all soon.. pb61

jbasser,thats a big hillbilly hell yeah !! .. lol thanks for the info..

Thanks Allan, I sorta thought the va was stallin' Iwill go and get my records or find out my could be destoryed too because of inactive time ... lhv

To All; Thanks for your replys !! - I feel that this is a delay tatic also, I'm going to ck. with SSA about those records and VA's request 4them,( what &when ect.. ) you know come to think of it; VA SHOULD have those already !! They had to see'em to Grant me 40% (back ) then 10% ( maj. depression ),anyway gonna ck. in to it.. TY-lhv

I hear you Sidney, this was not a phone call.. this was a letter from my VARO telling me what they've done so far.. they say they need a reply within 30 days--- so-- should i wait or respond and say ok get what you gotta get.. or take matters in my own hands,.. get the records myself and cut down on wait time?..lhv

Hello All, Today I recieved another request from the va for more info, this time from Social Security for my disability medical records,??? they(va) said that they have requested copies of those records and it may take a few months to receive a response..BUT the letter also said that i should send this evidence within 30 days?? now my question is why would they need these records when the have my va medical records and my ssdi decision award letter based on my s/c injury.. plus i don't have those records on hand anyway.. so does anyone know if the local ssd office( regional ) would have these and can i request them too? or wait on the va to gett'em and go from there? Thanks LHV..

Thanks N K

Berta, Thank you for your chime-in on this... yes i agree with you ... one year will be ok for me .. I pray to the Lord above that he gives them wisdom to grant me an increase & IU .. OR, 100% P & T... ..LHV

yes know thats a lot of retro... I applied in june 2010.. yes i thought i was not eligible..until i found this site and started reading and researching.... thanks for this site.... lhv

I went by my VSO today to check on my claim...( increase and IU ) found out that it moved up a notch to decsion-rate stage.. so this is a small success I guess.. now I'm worried that they will find some excuse to deny me IU... my best hope for it lies with me being SSDI, which is based solely S/C injury on active duty back in 1991... and i haven't worked since then... so we'll see, I'm hoping for a big success in getting claim won, but not on a big retro... ... LHV

This is a good saying.... Disabled Vet--- I served my country and busted my ass... now my country serves my busted ass... 100% Vet !!

This is very good info.. vets please use this form .. one of the most Important and First hand People that need to be heard is a person that is close to a vet like the number one Best Friend.., The LOVING SPOUSE of the vet... then the Best Buds.. ( how ever you want to take that..) lol.. so make sure to use SSOC.. LHV

does anyone think maybe power of attorney for a spouse would be a good quick fix to this type of problem? until the vet gets their retro..

Congrats... now take it easy on your heart... But give it hell on your check card.... LHV

Congrats.. enjoy .... Leave No One Behind.... Not On A Jungle Trail... Not On A Desert Trail.... Not On A Paper Trail..... God Bless... LHV

Thanks to everyone who has responded to my post , i have to be out of town for a couple days, i will be back on here as soon as i'm back home... Again Thank You All.. P.S. To Hoppy my hair ain't that long as yours but i wish it was, I'm bald on top-- little long in back..thought LHV would b a good user name... e-body else i can take a joke and joke too... see ya...LHV

Thanks I'll let you know--- LHV

Thank you 4 your input, I wiil let you know as soon as I get an answer, my wife says i need a haircut too---

hello, I'm new here, I'm a 50%sc vet. i have been looking around some-- very nice and informative website.. I do have a question about IU,I have researched some and know that i fall under CFR 38. 416b i think?.. anyway I Have sent in my claim for IU June 2010 and have had a C&P done and sent in add'l records.. (I'm 40% back injury, 10% Maj. Depression.) I have VA and Private medical records.also on the same claim a increase for my 50%.. I receive SSDI for my SC back injury and depression. i was injured on active duty 1991, been getting both SSDI and VA since awarded in 1992.. i have NOT worked since my injury because SSA disabled me then. does anybody think i have a chance on getting IU because i have been unable to secure and/or follow a substantial gainful occupation as a result of SC Disabilities.. Thanks very much..
