The best thing to do is wait for the packet in the mail i took all the forms i got off Ebenefits to get my ID at the local airforce base and had to wait for the decision letter congrats

try calling both Hospitals and when you get a hold of the operator ask to speak to the fee basis office

From the info you have furnished regarding effective date and the date of the future exams i would say you are not P&T the Rep from the VA on the phone sent you the letter for the ID card sent the wrong one you are entitled to card being IU but it should have an expiration date around your future reeval time as for getting the CH 35 info not sure what that's from could have been from the letter being sent out for ID cards

go to the er at your va hosp or call to get approval to go to the local er i dont know if it will help but at least they will get something for the pain

Well I got my BBE last week and have been busy reading and just trying to soak all of this information in and getting my ducks in a row so to say. So I will go into the claim I applied in April of 2014 for IU for Severe Depression, L knee, right knee, and both ankles and temp 100% for L ankle surgery well by the time the C&P came around I had had a second ankle surgery on the right ankle so I had my C&P done the DR just did the DBQ for both ankles and the knees and then a second for the depression the next day. Two weeks later the claim moved to prep for decision I contacted my VSO found out I was awarded IU and P&T I waited to for the letter and My last day at work was the 15th of Dec 2013 the IU was approved from DEC 16th 2013 until march for the temp 100 then back to IU until Sept for the R ankle and then to 100% after the DBQ for the scars So this was a rather short claim compared to most peoples around here but i know its done and i have no plans to make anymore claims unless absolutely necessary but I will be around to help if i can good luck to all and listen to the advise given on here good people here.

My wife applied last july she had the phone interview my PCP had to fill out a form then she waited they went over everything then they let her know that she needed to complete the CG training after she passed we had in home visit then got the acceptance letter and recieved first stipend payment in oct and had 2nd in home visit in Dec home that helps some

I am also on oxycodone and i have to keep the refill date in mind every month to send a message to my pcp to ask for the refill it usually takes a day or two for it to show wait for yor DR to get back in touch and good luck

If you have access to MYhealthyvet you can go to the blue button download your VA APT notes and look for the forms filled out about it you should see what tier you are at

The letter she is sending will get you the brown ID card with that you have access to all MWR and commissary the PX and class six stores

There is a 5 month waiting period when approved for ssdi before payment starts so you applied in Feb 2014 so that should have your first month being eligible for pay like Aug 2015 3 months of pay also minus the the attorney fees i dont know if this helps but i will put a link that will help you calculate what you should get hope it helps http://www.ssdfacts.com/CalcSSDI Edit the SSDI is payed like the VA, pay for Aug is deposited in Sept one month behind

Georgiapapa I am in the same boat as you Iwent to the web site and answered the questions was told no dont qualify i then called the 1-866-606-8198 and asked the same question was told i do qualify as the VA MED center is more then 40 miles away my clinic is 35 miles away i would suggest calling see what they say

the only time i know that you are classified as P&T is when you are rated 100% or are rated IU and even those dont always have P&T only when the records show that your disability will not improve are you classified P&T Like many on here we are not P&T even though are disabilities will never impvove we just dont have the 100% rating or the IU classification

When did you put your claim in the date shown is the last cola increase if you put your claim in in Oct then the pay would start on Nov they always pay a month behind like the payment on Aug 30 will be for Aug because the first falls on a weekend

When My Mom Died back in 94 the VA didnt do any transportation that fell on my brother and I the rest of the burial benefits were through the VA She had purchased her plot next to Dad when he passed in the early 70s

The ChampVA and educational benefits are available but you have to have the P&T designation I would go on to Ebenefits and look at your letters and see if you have a commissary letter also look at your benefits verification letter and see if you have a reduction date it doesn't mean you will be reduced its just the way the VA states that you are scheduled for a future exam to check your disabilities to see if they have gotten better

Thats basically showing that you are fit for military service no problems with eyes no limitations to your PULHES and your vitals appear normal

I don't know what program you applied for but what i can tell you is that SSI is based on income and alot of times when you apply they look to see if you are elegable for that as it might supplement you income until approved for SSDI you might look into what program that you applied for if it was both then that is not total unusual to get a denial for SSI and continue the process for SSDI

Well I just looked at E-benefits today and my FOIA claim is now complete I sent an email out over the weekend and i am sure that is the reason the claim is complete i figure i will get it in the mail in 2 to 3 weeks but just knowing its done helps alot and thanks again to Navy Wife and everyone here.

No Problem

I will definitely Take to Kinkos and get copy's I have a compleate copy of my VA med Records i get updates for once a year in Aug so i think i will keep them together in a fire proof safe withmil records now.And thanks again

Today I sent out several E-mails today from information I got here from Navy Wife I and I want to say thank you and I hope that it will actually help. I didnt expect to get any reply back today but i figured they would see them Monday and might get some information back by from them this week well Allison A. Hickey Under Secretary Veterans Benefits Administration U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs actually checks her e-mail on the weekend I received an e-mail in return about 2 hours latter and she says she will get her staff working on it in the morning and get the Boise RO to expedite the request so we will see what happens and I will keep you all up dated the original FOIA request was sent in Aug 22 2013 thanks again to Navy Wife Dave

while on e-benefits go to download VA letters click on benefit verification letter and that will be your AB8 letter

Hello all I read a post a while back about how to get your FOIA request donei have been waiting for 9 months and have no way to get in touch with the VARO and i seen a post that had email and instructions on who and where and when to contact the different offices thanks for the help. Dave

I did that becouse i had surgery scheduled and wanted to make sure that i got the exam done before the surgery and they were going to schedule same day but changed it to 2 days before

what i did when that showed on my e-benefits was call the va hospital and ask for the c&p office when i talked to the lady in the office she scheduled my exam with in the week helped with the anticipation and the nice thing is you can look on my healthy vet 3 days later and see the c&p in the blue button
