  1. So after 4 years I finally was granted SSDI. I currently have TRICARE, VA and World Trade Center Health coverage. Do I need medicare?
  2. I saw on my latest rating that I was probably denied for my breathing issues. I did smoke until 2012; 19 years or so. I was approved for both COPDX-Asthma and GERD as a result of my 3 years deployed to the 911 WTC site. I have asked this portion to be reopen this portion and submitted some more evidence. Any thoughts?
  3. Can you explain what you stated here: “In 1963 he devolped Thyroid cancer and was forced to retire medically. “ Do you mean he medically retired from the Navy or from a private employer? He was medically retired from the Navy in the 60's and died in 1967. My grandmother receved the dependent payments until she died. Did he have a pending claim with the VA prior to his death for the thyroid cancer? I don't thinks so, but I asked my mom to check. Perhaps she could substitute herself in his behalf as the claimant on any accrued benefits. She applied for RECA and was denied twice. My uncle is the Deputy Director, Force Health Protection and Readiness Programs for the Office of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense, and he has been helping but retires 1 May. If so she would need the info above, and she would also surely need it for the RECA claim. She has sent for dose meter records and none can be found. I found declassified records of his work at the special warefare lab, sandia base but nothing else. The lady at DOJ said all they need is a site participant certificate. He had none. BTW, he went to work at the cape...he was the flotilla commander for all apollo mission recoveries. A true hero and my mom deserves the 75k. She is writing her congressman now and sending for his va file if he has one thanks
  4. Hello everyone. I have a question and I am not sure if this is the correct area to ask. History: My grandfather was in charge of the traing barnch for Sandia Base, NM. He was a navy captain at the time. He was witness to various detonations. My mother has been trying to establish his presence at the sites through various records, but his job was so secretive that most documents do not exist. I have found several that show his name and unit (Armed Forces Special Weapons Project), but little else. She is again sending for the dose meter records and hopefully this will help. My grandfather was stationed there for 4 years. In 1963 he devolped Thyroid cancer and was forced to retire medically. Prior to that he was selected to the CNO position but had to decline because of his failing health. My questions is this: Can my mother apply for indemity benefits. The cancer is listed as a presumptive cause> I need a little help with a direction to go, if she is unable to win the RECA case. She is now 77 years old. Thank you My grandfather
  5. I have more pages detailing the particular afflications and the amount, 50% sleep apnea and 30% PTSD, with a combined of 70%. I was trying to figure out exactly how much I was going to get each month. Thanks
  6. Does any of the withholding of the VA comp for 2 months, then change to March 1, 2013 make any sense to you ? NO Did you get a deposit from the VA on MArch 1st or did you get only the DFAS retiree payment? ONLY RETIREMENT What is your service connected rating? COMBINED 70% Have you appealed that rating? NO, JUST AWARDED Are you employed or do you feel your SCs have rendered you unemployable? NO, FULLTIME EMPLOYEE Did VA expand on an additional age as to what this means? DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION THANKS
  7. I was unsure where this question should be posted. Can anyone explain what this means? Thanks
