i just wanted to tell everyone thank you for your help and support. i got a call from the PVA yesterday and it was great news.After 10 years i have been rated 100%P&T with smc k and smc s. its be so long since i felt whole it brought tears to my eyes. and as hard as it was for me to believe they are giving me retro for 118 months i was floored. prayers are answered in Gods time frame, Over the past 10 years i have read success stories and i always wander how they felt in that moment and it was one of the greatest feeling and my prayer is for every veteran to feel how i did in that moment. my prayers are with you all. i was granted i think 22 of my 24 issues some were at zero but thats ok. i was granted 100% for ms with brain leasions and major depression with anxiety, 60% for chronic fatigue, several 30% several 20% annd a couple 10% snd the rest were rated at zero. It was a good day for me and my wife this nightmare is about over. I got love for all my brothers and sister on hadit and around the world.

Michael09070 This is great news! Long time coming but you got it. Now be sure to keep up with your follow-up medical appointments, and don't forget to check out those extra perks, like DEA ed benefits, free life insurance, etc. And also don't forget to check on what your new state benefits are too. NICE!

Congratulations! Dont forget to help hadit to help others, like yourself, in the future. This site does not run for free, and frankly, its a burden (financial) on Tbird to keep it going.
Also, dont forget your additional benefits. Vets tend to "blow through" their retro, and in a few short months wonder where it went. So, get the rest of your benefits also, such as free 10,000 (waiver of premiums) life insurance.
Also, you should now be eligible for reduced or eliminated property taxes in most states. I save about 800 per year on taxes (66.00 per month), but many Vets save much much more in property taxes than that. I live in a very modest home which cost just 72,000. I know Vets who have 10 times that in their home.
While paying off ones home is a good thing for retro, I deliberately did not pay off my home. (With an interest rate of under 4%, it did not make sense). Instead, I have purchased bitcoin and other cryptos to provide a scholarship for my grandchildren (I have been blessed with 9 grandchildren. )
