I was addicted to benzodiazepines for 10 years thanks to mil docs.
I'm off now. Took me months of brutal withdrawal.
For sleep now I use Minipress and melatonin. They work and don't impair me.
I was an award winning writer before benzodiazepines. They were like a creative lobotomy.
They work for short term management. Don't use them for more than 3 weeks.

I followed the advice here and called Freedom Service Dogs in Denver. Got Gander in just 7 months!!
We get complimented everywhere on his behavior and personality
He's up for Hero Dog of the Year in the Humane Assn awards.
Saved my life!!
If anyone checks out FSC tell them the China Vet sent you. They will know...

Wow. Congrats. I hope your NOD compensates you for all those years of frustration.
-

Take good care of yourself!!

Congrats!!
I am 100 now but was only 70 with a GAF of 30. Read the criteria Carley provided.
Good luck.
-
Done!!
$70,000 officially discharged.
So much stress gone
-
Good luck!
I am not sure what I would do without Gander.
He's now known and loved by the community. We've had 2 trips by air and two by train. AA and Amtrak both treat him so well.
My heart rate is down and I'm off the Klonopin! Big improvements.
I don't remember life before Gander.

I have a friend who did a degree under voc rehab in 2005.
He now wonders if he can go back and apply for self employment help.
Anyone know?

I was scheduled for discharge next December 2013... Because I received 100% P&T recently I sent them the award letter.
I was notified this week that my $60k in accrued interest was discharged.
-
I filed for new issues and unemployability while my case was at bva
The effective date was logged that day.
I was just awarded that request and my award went back two years to the date I applied when other issues were under appeal
-
That's amazing!
Congrats.
-
I agreed to drop my other claims and received 100% P&T
The only remorse: what if ( big if) I get better and really can work again? They drop my 100% and then I relapse. It is not completely impossible...so I will have handed back real compensable issues and am looking at years to get stable again.
I missed SSD by 2 quarters. I'm terrified to go through the VA nightmare again.
-
Fantastic news. Keep on them.
-
Before my 100% P&T the dentist was willing to pull several of my teeth but little more.
After my rating they did a treatment plan that is estimated by a civilian dentist friend to be $32,000 worth of work: bone grafts, implants and crowns instead of removal.
I love the surgeons doing my work. Top shelf senior residents
-
Congrats. What a relief this is, I'm sure!

Signing into the local VAMC homeless program does indeed expedite your claim.
You'll need to get on the books.
While you are there you qualify fir dental if needed.
They can also get you into the veterans HUD program with a real place to stay for a percentage of your VA check.
Good luck!!!

Thank you for being here in addition to all your other duties.

Wow.
No sympathy.
If you can devote such energy to theft, you can figure out an income stream.
Terrible.
