  1. It's WHO you know not WHAT you have done for this country that will help you with your claims...sad but true.
  2. yes it is HORRIBLE in nyc, houston street is TRASH and so are the so called VA Representatives...Can you believe I WORKED at the VA hospital in NYC for one year and they had the nerve to make me work in the MENTAL HEALTH unit even though I was 50% disabled for my PTSD!?!?!? which made me even worst working with patients that are as sick as me. I missed many days due to my insomia and when I talked to my superiors about it they said they would fire me if I didn't want to work whereever it is that they want so i QUIT my job due to my illness in 1/11 and now I have to wait around for these NON-VETERANS and idiots to work on my claim. While working at the VA i noticed many patients that are 100% have never even deployed? I guess it's who you know not what you have done. Trust me I met many liars and crooks at the VA. Bunch of bullshit. My SSD was also denied and I' am still fighting for that....all i have is questions no answers and no one to trust. Sad Sad World we live in....
  3. thank you all for your advice, I know its all a big headache especially here in NYC where it is the worst place to file a claim since they have way more claims than they do anywhere else. I was denied SSDI and I am also fighting it. It just sucks that I was medboarded and never got a chance to fight it and now I have to deal with this but I am just happy to be back home.
  4. Hello to All, I am a female veteran who served from 04-07. I did one tour in Iraq, worked QRF and experienced MST. I don't want to go into detail due to my illness. I was medboarded even though I did not want to get out. I was stationed in Ft.Carson at that time their Psych Unit was being investigated for mistreating patients who had signs of PTSD. It was a painful time in my life which still angers me. When I got medboarded I was not told about any benefits I just got a one way ticket home. I went to the VA and was told to file a claim. I received 50% for ptsd and 10% lower back pain. I was told by my Psych at the VA to file for an increase since it is impossible for me to obtain and keep a job due to my meds which include, Lithium, Celexa, Valium, Abilify, Restoril and many more. I had a 2nd C&P and my rating was raised to 80%, 70 for PTSD, 10% for lower back pain, 10% migraines. My Psych at the VA advised me to file for TDIU and I did in Jan 2010. When I call the VA I was told it is still in the developmental phase even though my claim is an established claim and I have 2 letters from 2 different VA Psych's stating I cannot work. It's been a Year now and still nothing. I will soon be homeless now and feel hopeless. It seems none cares and they wonder why the suicide rate is so high among veterans. If anyone has any advice please share it will be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time.
