  1. Three years! Thirty minutes with DRO.
  2. Had a DRO face to face on 1-27-09,notified 2-6=09 100%P&T. Did not beleive it could happen so fast.
  3. Had c&p for increase in pn and doc said was giving me both upper arms and lower legs. I already have 10% for feet, what is this rated under so that i may look it up. What is the minimun rating for all bilats?
  4. Was not a claim at all,primary va doc sent for hearing test because during office visit I fell down. I am retired and just wanted hearing aids. I have no meds yet for meniere. doc said will mail to me, and just got appointment for hearing aids for the end of month. Joe
  5. My primary VA doctor sent me for hearing test to vamc in march this year,two weeks later got letter for ent appointment in april. Week before appointment got call from head doc at clinic rescheduling my app. for june 19 so he could see me personally. Went to appointment and he says Meniere's disease with attacks more than twice weekly associated with combat related tinnitus from rvn. Put me on three new meds and wants to see me in two months. Sent me to hearing aid clinic for app. for same. Now my question is how will this be rated? Joe
  6. Getting a doctor to comment on the cause is very difficult,mine says it is connected to my dm-2 but getting a letter to this effect is very difficult. I am still at the same size I was at discharge 42 years ago ,so it is not weight related. Good luck getting it connected to service.
  7. Had four in last 6 yrs, last one last friday. Finally no polops! five yrs before next one!
  8. Looking at the cfr's it looks like 50% good luck!
  9. I have been on Plavix for over a year and a half from VA and doctor says will also be on for rest of life. Have not had a problem getting,just had my heart doc write note to VA primary doc.
  10. Thanks for the replies. Am going for hearing aids the 17th of this month. will get new tests then. MY PRIMARY VAMC DOC ORDERED TESTS.
  11. Can someone read this attachment and tell me if it is rateable?
  12. Take a sleeping pill,thats what I did.
  13. I also have recently been diagnosed with sleep apnea and have been given a bipap machine which is hard to get adapted to. I have not filed for it yet because i cannot get my sleep doctor to comment on a nexus to my sc conditions. He is from India and doesn't know anything about the VA. Makes it difficult what to do. Any advice would be appreciated.
  14. ROMAD, HAPPY TO HEAR ALL WENT WELL!
  15. Got mine in about six days after award letter.
  16. Thanks for the advise,I filed my NOD with two IMO's friday. Now for the wait again.
  17. In my first case first i was told the same thing and next day had money in the bank, award letter three days later. GOOD LUCK
  18. I take temazepam and trazodone and still do not sleep more than 4 hours.
  19. CAVMAN I think you are taking my denial to hard, just remember I am old and not through fighting yet. Just hang in there. Good luck.
  20. How right you are, I had ptsd on my ssdi as well as spinal trouble, two imo's from my doctors saying unemployable from both, I would advise anyone not to mention ssdi.
  21. Thanks for the advice, I am nam vet agent orange, forward air(ROMAD) served with air cav and korean tiger div. 65-66 Have hbp, artersclerosis and severe sleep apnea, will go ahead and file claim as all are sc. Just didn't want to slow down the va for others.
