I'd say that's a pretty nice lump of coal! like the last person just said, those books are USUALLY mailed out specific to the individual, it could give a hint as to where you are if it puts you in a certain category. anyone with 50% or more falls into cat 1.
-
all i have are AB8, AB4, AB7 and SF15
-
well thats what i'm talking about, I don't see a link on mine for an AB3, maybe i'm not looking in the right spot?
-
hey i don't have the AB3 letter for the commisarry benefits so I guess I'll have to hope I can get 100% after the appeal proccess....i'm sure it will be at least 2 years before i have a status update on that haha they told me on the phone today the winston salem office where my file is at has over 48000 cases O_o !!! craziness haha glad i'm patient.
-
I'm sorry you're having to wait so long, what kind of increase are you hoping to get? -
the question was did i have spine problems....i don't know if it has anything to do with GERD or not....
-
just cervical spine problems
-
well i'm reading my letter and I'M very confused with a lot of my ratings...but for this instance regarding the GERD they only gave me 10% which is crazy because i have a prescription for 40mg of nexium TWICE a day vs the usual 1 a day because mine is so bad lol and their description of what warrants 30% is clearly what I have going on ..... i'll definitely be getting an IMO for the GERD along with quite a few other conditions that bothered me way more than whatever this person was reading......i don't care if my rating is a 94.99 and i stay at 90% but the job should be done right.....ty appeal process! lol
-
I'm hearing now that its everything except dental, you get some dental.,....anyone know about that? I've requested the VA to send me another copy of that health benefits book, and they said they did a couple weeks ago but I still haven't seen it here, probably cause i'm overseas maybe its just getting lost in the mail as usual haha
-
Thanks Kelly So I just looked and my online award letter has change, it doens't stay they percent but the money portion has gone up to compensation for 90%! Says that claim was complete on 7SEP and the infamous letter has been mailed out. Will see what it says, so very greatful didn't think I was going to get an increase to that. I have some people telling me to appeal for 100% but unless its blatantly obvious I can get 100 I think i'm happy with the decision. Wishing everyone well and hope you all get what you deserve, thanks to everyone for your service. All of your support and advice that I read on other posts is relayed to service members I know who are separating and they appreciate it as well. thanks again! whats the NOD clock?

Congrats Sergent on the new baby, thank you for your service and enjoy yourself, hope the care you get makes life easier too!!

Update well still have yet to receive the brown envelope, I guess i went to my address in the states, my mother has power of attorney so I had her open it and read the contents to me but all that was in there was a 64 page handbook stating the benefits i was entitled to with the VA healthcare system and that I was a priority level 1. I'm confused though, she said she couldn't find it, but maybe she's not looking in the right spot, is the information on my specific claims like percentages and reasons in that book? or am I waiting for another letter?. Also my claim has been moved back to the review of evidence stage, and says could take another 260 days lol i'm definitely not going to keep watching it like I did this past year. I do have another question though I know you have a year to file an appeal. since the claims that they're paying me for now are done if i don't agree with those dose that mean the clock has started on those conditions? and does that eman the year time frame will be differerent for whatever it is that's been deferred?
-
I'm so sorry you're going through such a tough time, and i hope that things will go your way very soon, thank you for YOUR service!
-
Thank your for your sevice as well! yes I've thought about it and I actually had an interview with a new job back in the states last week on friday, hoping to get back stateside as soon as possible! That being said I'm going to hold onto the money for a bit just in case I do get hired so I can use it for the whole house hunting and moving deal.
-
i know this post is old but would any of you happen to know on the SF15 form if you select the first disabiliy preference or the second one, i also have over 30%, i have the letter, i just don't want to select the wrong one. I picked the first one even though the second one says for 10% and over but the first one says noncompensable so I was hoping that was right
-
Thank you! And thank you so much to everyone here on Hadit, just checked my bank account, pending deposit for 5 months of back pay will be cleared by tomorrow!!!!! I'm still in shock, I don't know wheter to save it, pay off debt or a little of both. I do know that i'm on cloud 9. for anyone who is new to the site, read everything these people have to say, i started reading these posts well before my initial VA appointment about 8 months before separation back in 2011, they really helped as far as knowing what documentation to get from the Navy before bringing the VA my record. its been a year since that appointment next week and 6 months since my separation, soooooo fast in comparison to others and i feel extremely fortunate and greatful. once again thank you everyone, stay kind to each other and i'll still be on here to spread good wishes to all!
-
what does TDIU stand for?
-
sorry i'm new to this still....so congrats all the same but do you have 70, 90, or 100% now?
-
sweet congrats marwar!
-
well during my exam with the doc he said the VA rep used the wrong term said it wasn't actally blepheritis, it was something with the scrates on my eye and also that I had cysts on both or my eye lids. they just never changed the name on line from when the claim was initially started i guess? i dunno. won't know for sure till I get the "brown evenvelope right" Carlie do you know if I'll get mailed a letter still or not till the claim is complete?
-
Yeah I don't know why, I mean I haven't lived at home in almost a decade so very strange, i'm sure they'll take it away eventually. Anyway like I said I don't have the letter so I can't tell you exactly what I got for each just yet, i'll update that as it comes but off the top of my head I had: Sleep Apnea Bilateral Haylund deformity Bilateral Plantar Facsciitis(spelling?) bilateral ankle "condition" bilateral knee "condition" bilateral shoulder impingment cervical spine limited mobility low lumbar spine limited mobility GERD carpe tunnel tinnitis blepheritis (floaters)? limited range of motion in the hips and a like 10 or so more but Ebenefits is down or i'd check.
-
Thank you! Thank you!
-
sure i'll write it al down here in the morning when i'm not intoxiccated lol
-
yes its under the AB8 letter, if they made a decision then why did it get sent back to review of evidence?! lol and i'm curious why did they put 1 parent...i don't claim my mom as a dependent.....or I don't have to. and in that case I have a dad alive too haha this is my first claim i was getting nothing before so does that mean I get back pay since march?
-
uuuuuuuuuuuuuupppppppppppdaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaateeeeeeeeeeeee...... well.....my heart fell out of my chest when I saw that my claim had gone from pending decision approval to review of evidence....i literally did one of these ------> ...yep looks just like me..anyway so before chucking my ipod across the room (jk i'd never do that to my precious) I clicked on documents and found a whole bunch of new letters to click on! AB8, AB4 and applicant for 10pts veterans preference! however it doesn't say the percentage and i guess i'm not getting my brown envelope anytime soon since it went so far back? also can someone shed some light on to what this means? : Gross Benefit Amount $1,577.00 Net Amount Paid $1,577.00 Effective Date March 1, 2012 I haven't been paid anything so i don't understand, whats it all mean I feel like I should be excited cause thats a big number but whats it meaaaaannnnnn hahaha
