  1. Your ED will only be a monetary amount not an increase in rating. Loss of use of reproductive organ(can't remember the special schedule rating).
  2. Does anyone know how long it takes for the pay to hit the bang. After speaking with customer service they stated that my letter was sent out on Monday of this week. Ive heard that usually the money would hit the bank before you receive the letter.
  3. After peeking daily and everyone but me receiving goods, my time has to become joyful. Woke up this morning bout 5 and checked e-benefits. Claim closed, and lord knows I was reluctant about seeing the letter. Took courage and started to cry, 100% P&T with a dated effective date of 12/01/2012 even though I filed in March of 2012. I praise the most high for a journey I thought would never end. Thank all the members here for the continued flow of information on a daily basis.
  4. I had a conversation with the CA person at the VA hospital in hospital. He informed that if your brace has fabric covering the metal, it does not qualify. If you have a recurring CA and apply for DUAL, you would have to come in and be seen by a staff member. Mind you this is in houston.
  5. did you guys receive a combo amount or two separate checks
  6. Received my clothging allowance today but only saw a $12 increase. I have two knee braces, and one back brace. Did anyone with two receive anything different?
  7. Due to my SC disabilities I'm limited to work hours, no lawyer and age is 45. My degress is in Criminal Justice and my last job was as a Federal corrections officer where I was medically retired, have not work since 2009.
  8. Because of your income, you are not elgible to receive. I receive medical retirement from both military and department of justice.
  9. It takes about thirty days and you can request copies of your exam at ROI release of information at your va hospital
  10. i have been denied three times for ssa, and have not worked since 2009. is there something im doing wrong?
  11. I had my knee replaced three years ago and still rated at 90, just curious do you have any other SC conditions? I applied for TDIU and was denied.
  12. Like they will tell you when u call the 800 number, everything depends on your regional office and the workload.
  13. I have been pending since March. ebenifits is stating that the latest is september.
  14. Went to Houston RO today and spoke to my DAV Rep. First thing he said was "I have good news and bad news, what do u want first good or bad?" The good news first, "Your claim is complete, the bad, we cant find your records."
  15. I too notice this, but my age is one year older and I every time I correct the info it resets back. My status is also in the rating decision stage. I did however ask a representative how accurate the e-benefits, and she stated not accurate.
  16. On Saturday I recieved a call from a Houston VARO employee. This person informed my that my claim was now in the rating section and since it had not been there for 18 months that I would waiting at least until then. She stated that they are now looking at claims of 2010.
  17. Majority of the people who work at the Houston Regional office are DVs. Mind you every trip I make to that place, workers are constantly going in and out of the Canteen. They walk around with no urgency talking and joking with co-workers.
  18. I filed an appeals also through Houston RO. Dated July 2009,and it still has not status. I beleive the dates listed on ebenefits are just formalitites, because i called a live person and was told full process was 10 months. I filed this claim in March 2012, C&P September, now at rating.
  19. This also was my thinking, and now checking the ebenefits it seems they are pushing my dates for finalizing to June 2013. The last conversation I was told that had until February at the latest. Spoke with my DAV rep, and his words were that my case is still new(BS).
  20. This was an regular Comp and Pen doc, so I went to ROI(Release of information) and got his findings. Filled in the forms off of his findings.
  21. I understand the 40% percent rating that i need, i would hoping someone was able to determing by looking at the worksheet. I did noticed that the doctor answered due to my disability that I was unable to work. My left knee was replaced twice and still having problems. He noted that there was deformity, pain on movement, and atrophy of disuse. I'm hoping these two will get me over the hump. I was checking ebenefits today, and notice DDD which I did not apply for.
  22. Do you have any knowledge of the attachments, do they look like I could get an increase at all
  23. Lumbar spine.pdfKnee and Lower leg.pdfHip and thigh.pdf During my last C&P exam, this is what the doctor annotated. Have no idea if its good or bad. In my claim, I did not put sciatic nerves or radiculopathy, but I noticed it was mentioned by the doc. Should I go VARO and claim them or wait for the outcome. Currently rated at 90%,Lateral meniscus L/knee 30%, Exercise induced asthma 30%,Patellogemoral pain R/Knee 20%, Depressive disorder 30%, Degenerative Joint Disease L/Knee 30%, Impringement syndrome L/Shoulder 10%,R/ankle 10%,Hypertension with ED 10%, psueudo barbae 10%, Thoraic spine strain 10%. I was MEB in 2002 and medically retired from the Federal prison in 2009. I applied for IU due to retirements and denied. Submitted NOD in 2010 of July. Was also denied Social Security.
  24. I have both my appeal and recent increase at the houston office. I see my DAV rep at least three times a month, and the only answer they can give me is be patient.
