I am 100% P&T already and was just awarded 30% asthma how is the retro pay figured? Thanks in advance

so what are they really saying? You need 100% combined and then anything else rated to take you over the 100%?

How do you file for secondary's? What form do you use and how is it awarded like is it on the primary or a whole new code and disability rating on the secondary? Thanks in advance I never filed for any secondary's.

I am 100% P&T but was wondering am I missing anything else to claim such as a special claim? Attached is all my disabilities and their percentages. ThanksDisabilities.pdf

I submitted a supplemental claim VA form 20-0995 for asthma off the presumptive list after being denied in the past. My question is I found another thing that i qualify for should i wait till the first one is done then file the second one or should I file it now? If I file now how will that effect the first one? Will it start over or will it just be 2 separate one with different dates? Thanks

no buck52. va is paying for my auqatherapy and accupuncture for pain now since i will not get any better they are going to stop paying for. it helps me manage my pain but now if they stop i regress back then what? Below is a email i got from my team at the VA. Very unprofessional I think. this is a copy of the note I received from dave: LET PT KNOW THAT INDEFINITE AQUA THERAPY VISITS WAS NOT APPROVED. PT WILL NEED TO USE PRIVATE INSURANCE OR GET A MEMBERSHIP TO A CLUB WITH A POOL AND DO THE EXERCISES ON HIS OWN TO HELP MAINTAIN THE BENEFITS HE HAS ATTAINED Jeane Duclos

I would like to know what is the VA's policy number and any documentation on not paying for maintenance therapy. I have been getting aqua therapy for about 9 months through the choice program due to my pain from fibromyalgia and arthritis and now now they cut it off said VA don't pay for maintenance therapy to use my own insurance and join a gym with pool and do it on my own. So I am in therapy doing ok managing my pain but since i will not improve they cut it off and let me regress and go back to being in severe pain then what do I do? What is our next steps to get this approved or what other options do I have. I will do a Congressional Inquiry soon, so please let me know ASAP what can be done. it's just not right that since someone will not get better that the VA kicks them to the curb. They do pay for long term care why not long term therapy for pain management?

Can your 100% P&T ever be taken away from you? If so what for? Any time frames?

I thought it was age 50 the relaxed the rules

can anyone tell me how much I would have to pay for a doctors office visit using tricare and specialty appts also? does my wife rate tricare as well and if I pass does she still keep it? also any idea of costs for dental through tricare? I am retired and 100% p&t

does anyone know if va dental depts have dental hygienist for teeth cleaning or do they just have dentists?

I am 51 retired Marine with 100% p&t rating and work for the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania Dept of Corrections but i am going to retire soon from there. would I be able to get ssdi after I retire again? If I do get it is there any type of offset to my va disability monies or my retirment monies? my disabilities are listed below in my signature thanks in advance.

ok so I called them and the man was very nice and took the time to explain the VA math to me and do it for me comes out that all I knew was I went from 80-100 but in all actuality i went from 80-90-100 because of one of the dates on one of my claim items so they were right by me going from 80-90-100 they saved 12-14k but since its right no problem and I did check on the date and it is right also so no since in appealing it.
