[100% Sc+P&t And Retro Questions]

Congrats on the Good News Bud!!!

[From Preparation For Notification Back To Gathering Of Evidence?]

Congrats on the increase, and yes it is not unusual for the VA RO to open a new claim for you based on what Exam Docs find during C&P. I have had a few new conditions granted that I did not apply for. Good luck and keep us posted

[Ptsd Increase]

Sorry to hear of your issues bud, but remember that all Diagnoses pretty much need to be thru the VA, and you should also be seeking treatment there too. Good luck and keep us posted

[Ssd Disability Question]

It sounds like your wife will get SSDI approved bud. I hope she has better luck at the Dallas VA then I do. I sometimes have 10 or more appts there a month, and they drive me freaking crazy. I prefer Bonham, but all my specialist have to be thru Dallas and Ft Worth. Good luck and keep us posted

[The "oth" Newbie: Finally, I Have A Voice To Give And Get Help.]

Welcome aboard and sorry to hear of your life issues. In my opinion the Law is the Law is the Law, Regardless of who is on the good and bad end of it. I worked in Federal Law Enforcement for a bit after I was Medically Retired and no one and I repeat no one is looking at a Minimum Lengthy Prison Sentence without committing some serious crimes. I had a Vet in a similar ordeal ask me to help him turn his OTH around, and when I dug in, he not only was he Convicted of crimes, but was Discharged from the Navy for attempting to rape two different Sailors. I am not saying that you are a bad person, just sounds like you made a lot of mistakes and now you want the Govt to change the wording so that you don't have it on your record, or you want the benefits that come with a properly discharged Vet. Good luck to you and God Bless, cause you need it brother. Also, I have more in common with you then you think, and it never made me want to break the Law.

[70% Seeking Iu Please Help]

Great advice given above, and regardless you will have a C&P exam. If you feel that you are worse off, then just go in there and be honest with Doc. Now Remember that the VA can always lower our %s or Review our conditions when they want. Good luck and keep us posted

[Had My C&p Today]

Sounds like the exam went well. Good luck and keep us posted

[Va Has 80 Days To End Back Log.]

Great Comments Guys!!!

[Va Can Better Ensure Unemployability Decisions Are Well Supported]

Thanks for the info bud, and as usual, can there be improvements yes, but not at the expense of Hurt Vets that deserve whatever money and benefits that we get, and should never be taken away.

[Review Of Evidence But Decision Notification Sent]

Congrats on the great News!!!

[Fdc Filed In April. Will Filing Docs To Support Ptsd Kick It Out?]

Sorry to see that you are going crazy with this whole claim process like the rest of us. I agree with the above, I would just wait it out and see what happens. Usually when I thought my claim was going bad, it actually turned out well. Good luck and God Bless

[Tdiu Denied]

Sorry to hear of your issues but without the actual exam notes or denial letter, just too hard to say either way. I will say that I have had over 30 C&Ps in the last 2 years, and the majority of the Exam Docs did not have all of my Records to look over, just used their medical opinion and the evidence that I took with me.

[100% Total And Permanent (Ptsd) Am I Able To Still Work?]

Pete is on the money when it comes to the VA lingo, and as far as Phillip I totally agree with him. I am 70% PTSD and I spent 3 months in mental hospital and had to Resign as a US Marshal, I definitely can not work, and I know that there are a lot of Starving and Homeless Vets out there that would take your 100% in a heart beat. We are not being hard on you bud, and only you and your family can decide what is best for you. We all would like to get rich off of the GOVT, but if you can work then I say risk the lesser % and work your but off. God Bless

[Iu Specialty Services]

I am 100% Temporary and I have been receiving VA dental work since I was 80% VA. Believe me I have had thousands of dollars worth of work at the VA Dental, only department that has been good to me since the day I was Retired.

[Tdiu Claim "completed" In 1 Month, No Change In Ab8]

Sorry to hear of your troubles, and just wait it out and see what happens. Good luck and God Bless!!!

["full Grant On Appeal"]

Congrats on the great news, and God Bless!!!

[Denied Fibromyalgia And Ibs]

Sorry to hear of your issues bud, as I have Crohns Disease. I have to totally agree with Pete's statements, but in the end I think that you will be fine. Me personally I do not like the Appeals or NOD process, just too long of a headache for me. I was denied multiple items in 2013 when I was retired from the Navy. Instead of NODs, I filed 4 FDCs in the last 2 years, with over 30 C&Ps and most were granted, even when I thought I had had enough with this whole VA Roller Coaster of Crap. Just sit down with someone who is knowledgeable and figure what is best for you and your family. Good Luck

[Mmpi-2 Questions]

I had those test a few months back when I had my PTSD review, and even though they were long, it was not as big a deal as you think. Just another tool for the VA Psych Docs to use. They look at the overall Medical Evidence. Good luck

[C N P Exam Money Will Be Taken From You]

There is nothing to freak out about, but the Doc does have to report that there was a civilian injury to a SC compensated VA condition. Do not worry my friend, just wait until the claim is complete. Good luck

[Gerd And Ibs]

My Crohns and GERD are rated together.

[Ptsd And Ibs]

Gerd and IBS get rated together, I have Crohns and GERD rated together. I don't know why you would claim IBS as secondary to PTSD? Big difference from Mental and Physical conditions. Good luck

[After 5 Yrs Dro Grants 100% P&t, No C&p/chap 35 Prize!]

We are always here for you and every other Vet that deserves a Second Look in Life!!!

[Reevaluate Question]

Sorry to hear of your issues bud, and I agree with both statements above. Then again, I just had all of my high %s Re Evaluated, after I submitted my last FDC, and they were not due to be Reviewed until Feb 2016, so as you can see the VA came after me early. It backfired in their face, not only were all of my conditions %s continued, but the Ro increased my TBI from 30 to 50%. Good luck and truly wish you the best.

[Smc Commendation]

Welcome aboard bud, and I agree with above statement. I have more conditions with higher %s and I don't qualify for another SMCs, other then the K I currently get. Good luck and God Bless

[Percentage Question]

Welcome aboard and happy to see a Vet with a very supportive spouse. Good luck and God Bless
