  1. I am 100% P&T already and was just awarded 30% asthma how is the retro pay figured? Thanks in advance
  2. so what are they really saying? You need 100% combined and then anything else rated to take you over the 100%?
  3. 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.
  4. 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
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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?
  8. Can your 100% P&T ever be taken away from you? If so what for? Any time frames?
  9. If I apply for SSDI what do I send in as proof to support my claim? My VA decisions? My case File? my disabilities are as follows and I am 52 yo. 20% residuals right shoulder 10% tinnitus 40% fibromyalgia 10% lipomas 20% lumbar spondylosis and degenerative disk disease 10% status post cholecystectomy with scars 10% right knee patellofemoral syndrome 10% left knee patellofemoral syndrome 50% anxiety disorder 20% chronic fatigue syndrome 10% keratoconus 30% gastritus claimed as heartburn with gerd, hiatal hernia and baret's esophagus Quote MultiQuote Edit
  10. 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
  11. does anyone know if va dental depts have dental hygienist for teeth cleaning or do they just have dentists?
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. marine0816 I called dfas today they said va messed up I went from 805 to 1005 va reported 905 for 11 months and 100% for 1 month back pay so now I have to call va and see what they say.
  15. aggie54 yes I am getting my concurrent pay as well
  16. i was 80% and filed some additional claims in Nov-2012 and it was decided in Dec-2014 it went to 100% P&T so I get my retro and letter the other day and I was expecting around 14k-16k but it was only 2,688.00 would it not be the difference from 80%-100% at 1,400 a month times the 12 months? Can anyone tell me who is right where the mistake is in laymen terms please? Do I need to appeal this or what should I do? I have attached my decision letter and VA calculations of the retro that I do not understand. Thanks for your help in this matter in advance. va.pdf va1.pdf
  17. I got my letter today explaining my monies and its just 2,688.00 not the 14k as expected unless I figured wrong.
  18. How does one appeal on ebenifits I got my backpay yesterday and it was 12k short.
  19. my first back pay took 18 months to get my next on took 7 months but i have to appeal it they shorted me some 12k. How does one file an appeal on ebenfits?
  20. If I have the following do I rate any SMC'S? here is my breakdown as much as I can remember 20% residuals right shoulder 10% tinnitus 40% fibromyalgia 10% lipomas 20% lumbar spondylosis and degenerative disk disease 10% status post cholecystectomy with scars 10% right knee patellofemoral syndrome 10% left knee patellofemoral syndrome 50% anxiety disorder 20% chronic fatigue syndrome 10% keratoconus 30% gastritus claimed as heartburn with gerd, hiatal hernia and baret's esophagus
  21. Subway and Wendy's in Bedford, Pa give 50% off military discount
  22. I am not looking to profit/benefit in any real way from exposing the schemes I just want the satisfaction that the convicts won't get away with getting VA monies while incarcerated. They are to report this so when they get caught they owe all the money back to VA.
  23. I was just wondering I am a Correctional Officer who is a retired Marine with 100% P&T and I know there are inmates collecting monies from VA.
  24. what is VA'S criteria for my wife to be my caregiver and get paid for it?
