  1. So, I got my BBE in the mail two weeks ago. I was reading through it, and it makes no mention of my scoliosis in the paperwork. Not even a 0% rating. The doc made it a second diagnosis and it says in his the paperwork that it is service connected. How would I go about taking care of this?
  2. I would go stir crazy!
  3. Yeah. No retro yet, but its only been since Friday.
  4. patellofemoral syndrome, right knee 10% Service-Connected 09/06/2007 Request Increase Add Secondary residuals of fractured 11th and 12th ribs 0% Service-Connected 09/06/2007 Request Increase Add Secondary anxiety disorder (claimed as post traumatic stress disorder) 10% Service-Connected 09/06/2007 Request Increase Add Secondary patellofemoral syndrome, left knee 10% Service-Connected 09/06/2007 Request Increase Add Secondary surgical scar of the left knee 0% Service-Connected 05/28/2013 Request Increase intervertebral disc syndrome (IVDS) 10% Service-Connected 04/08/2013 Request Increase Add Secondary left lower extremity radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve (claimed as nerve damage) 20% Service-Connected 04/08/2013 Request Increase right lower extremity radiculopathy of the sciatic nerve (claimed as nerve damage) 20% Service-Connected 04/08/2013 Request Increase So I can see they low balled me on the IVDS. It has been diagnosed as Scoliosis by the other docs and on X ray! It means it would have been 20% instead of 10%.
  5. Trying it out now.
  6. I do not have my BBE yet, so waiting for that. I will update with ratings when I get it, but I suspect a 10% rating for each side. That's just a guess though. Follow this thread and I will post it.
  7. That happened to me. If you submitted two different claims, they might be lumping them together for processing reasons. Check to see if the open one has both claims under contentions.
  8. Claim opened: 4-8-2013 Claim Closed: 6-14-2014 Contentions were: Spine (secondary to broken 11 and 12 rib) Left Knee (increase) Nerve Damage (secondary to Broken 11 and 12 rib) Paragraph 30 Benefits (reopen) I know for sure that the Para 30 benefits were denied. I know what is needed now and will turn in New and Material Evidence for reconsideration. I do not know how the break down has occurred, but my rating went from 30% to 60% now! Waiting on BBE and retro! Any ball parks on how much retro with wife and child? Success!
  9. Hard to say brother. It all depends on your specific claim. Mine was for about a week.
  10. Claim is at Prep for Notification as of 6/10/2014.
  11. Its all VA Math. use the Disability calculator to make sense of it. http://www.hadit.com/service_connected_disabilities_rating_calculator.php
  12. If it is QTC, use your VSO to get a copy off the VA files.
  13. Its all an illusion to make you think that they are working. When it goes down, its just that, it went down.
  14. So I am checking eBennies today, and it says that my claim went back to Gathering of Dust on Monday of last week. I called Peggy, and they say it is in the "Decision Phase", and I should know something in the near future. He told me not to worry about eBennies. So, why have a system that does not work? I see it as a waste of tax payer money (ie my money)?
  15. Agree! Increase. It is still a service connected issue that is getting worse over time.
  16. He has two. One at the regional WWP office, then another at the VA.
  17. It took e a while to get them, because I just asked my VSO if it was possible to print. He went up to the VA and printed it out. My paperwork is actually twice as many papers, but I see one has a signature on it. they are exact copies. I am pretty sure the papework was in system within 20 days.
  18. Yeah, I was also thinking that they could add in the meniscus repair, but not sure. Yeah, I am starting to go back to the shrink due to reoccuring panic attacks. Will talk to them more. It does piss me off that I cant do what I used to.
  19. Hey guys, Would anyone be able to help me with getting an idea of what comp might be recieved from this? I already have: 10% Left Knee 10% Right knee 10% Anxiety Scan 001 (3).pdf
  20. May might still be screwed up, but you might see a payment in a form of retro to offset the difference.
