  1. So should have guessed instead of seperating the issues like the doctor opined they are requesting another exam until the doctor gives something in their favor I'm sure. I called Peggy she said they are requesting another TBI review I said I just had one in December when they granted me IU he opined that i had not mental issues related to my TBI not to mention they made me Permanent and Total for my TBI residual with no future exams. I gues C&Ps for related to other claims aren't considered for my TBI?
  2. Agreed not that experienced with this issue did you read the regulations Brocovet posted. What evidence was cited by the doctor in this new opinion... anyone can hire an IMO and dispute this if he didn't have any evidence
  3. Exactly what Berta said no stressor no diagnosis more than one stressor gets easy to prove point. If you throw a TBI in the mix or if you have another Mh diagnosed issue already they may just tie it with that... more details please?
  4. I don't know how concerned you are about the time are you currently working. If not you could also look into recieving IU?
  5. Fraud is one way but I'm not as familiar of this happening or having happened I was just reading the law about 5 year rules I think broncovet posted search 5 year ratings protection see if it comes up sorry couldn't be more help.
  6. Depends if a hearing was requested and has to be scheduled I once had a hearing scheduled the day the pope visited philly obviously wasn't going to happen they then scheduled it the next. Month also sometimes the DRO can't answer your question and they submit question to general counsel there's a lot of what ifs but if it's an easy one issue no questions claim it can be decide fairly quickly if it's on his or her lap...
  7. Is this the whole report it was done under the general mental exam right what was the occupational report any problems? Maybe lowball at 10 my gues is 30 though... surprised nothing about occupational impairment was mentioned i see it could be maybe construed as being the same as independently but I'm. O expert but definately a secondary SC claim...
  8. And my other appeal is getting closer been with the VLJ date changed 3 times... not much longer since no hearing and my new claims in Prep for a decision
  9. So my P and T appeal just closed and was updated in ebenefits in the letters so I printed them dragged wife and kids to the local base all got new ID cards, still waiting on the packet in the mail. As for my other appeal it had now moved with the ALJ for the third time my last appeal was four times not to sure how many times they move it there? And my claim is in the Prep for a decision which I'm not sure how this will go since the doc seperated my Mental issues from my TBi. All this happened in One month, something has changed with the new VA Secretary not complaining... Both my remaining claims have a suspense date for next month so who knows " Anything can happen"...
  10. Call this number (202) 530-9470 explain your issue they will help you submit an inquiry into your RO most likely to see if was their error or an error of miscalculations that you may have made... not saying you did I had the same issue where I was about 20k short of my last retro and it was their mistake that's the number I called to contact the Philly RO to get the answers to fix my retro. Your case it could be a simple as attorney fees not sure the details just shotting blanks it's all I was given...
  11. Good luck and to infinity and beyond!!! Joking aside it sounded like it well good luck
  12. That's BS sell it to someone else i went for a C&P for my tinnitus and he said my hearing was bad but at my entrance exam in the marines was the bad as well we came up with I had an ear infection that day and he showed me how three years later how it was better and then bad again after 5 years as a sheet metal airframes on 53s. He opined I was exposed to daily loud noises such as rivet hammers and air tools which caused my tinnitus. As an aircraft mechanic easy to find examples of loud exposures, So if I had to guess if your MOS had you exposed to loud daily noises what was your billet? Can you find some examples to show yes you were exposed? Really any billet has some form of loud noises you just have to look back and see what they maybe... Give more details of your Mos even the administrative guys working at the desks eventually deployed with us and rode in c-130s which are extremely loud with no hearing protection provided.
  13. And also SMC S guys thanks and that was only one dependant just hit his SSN two days ago
  14. permanent total paperwork from ebenefits was enough to get my new ID card still awaiting the packet in the Snail mail? My new claim has me worried but I'm assuming since my TBI is permanent and total with no future exams is that it can't be lowered? The woman said my new claim seperated my mental Health and TBI issues and said I don't know what the raters can do they can do whatever..... No amount of anything will bring my memory issues rated under 8045 down below 70% But is my memory a mental issue which would keep me from ever working again like PTSD?

Crap this was a success story can someone change this? I'm an idiot sorry
  16. I'm on the same boat its like that stupid magic eightball of VA ratings
  17. Even my contractor exams only take at the most two weeks to process the examiner has it submitted back the day off or the next day at the latest if you have an attorney he can always get you a copy. Or as I found out you can go to the RO in person and they gave me a copy of my contracted C&P on the spot?
  18. Well I look forward to the attempt because all the drugs they tried failed being up 3 days in a row sucks when your mind is racing not much to do in the wee hours... thanks for the heads up now I'm looking forward said it would take 2 weeks
  19. This probably could have helped me out to know this sooner instead of being dx with insomnia now there are saying a tested positive for sleep apnea. Are these related? I know nothing of what this is other then usually you snore is a sign. The doctor said in two weeks their coming out here to put in a cpap machine and to fit test me. just when I think I'm done filing something else pops up.... Life
  20. Call this group (202) 530-9470 and they'll explain to you what happen if it looks like an issue they'll try and help.
  21. I have just been made P and T back dated on Nov 2016. Since they weren't around I had to use Obamacare for the family and wife had our child this May. Is there a way to recoup those expenses since I didn't have it until I won my claim until today? Will I be approved for my familly now Im alittle impatient for the letter on Thursday I'm trying to get what i need to do since I have an appt at the Wilmington Va RO and Hospital.
  22. I'm waiting for the packet with details I know it's been awarded since 11/14/2016
  23. Hopefully someone can tell me if this will could change with my new claim?
  24. The other one says no future exams will be needed on the other verification form.So this is what is considered IU Permanent and totally? Do I still need to send in an income form? I don't care I don't work other then Voluteering for my church.So now with my other claim that's about to be looked at at the end of the week which seperated my symptoms? Only know the PT is for my sTBI as per what i was told on the phone I guess the packet either tomorrow or Wednesday will tell me the rest. thanks again everyone my fights almost over with just one appeal open still and one claim open then I'm done just had another child
  25. Snail mail is like instead of watching the paint dry you become a window licker to pass the time.
