Does it matter if a nexus letter is obtained from a retired doctor who is a friend. Person would give their medical opinion/ facts regarding some of these diseases being secondary to one another PTSD, hypertension, sleep apnea, kidney cancer and prostate cancer. Thanks.

All thanks for the responding.

[How To Calculate Monthly Payment]

Thanks for your response. Your response is not clear. Need to understand in dollars and cents. Currently rated 100% PDSD, receiving 3000 monthly. If he receives another 100% rating what will monthly payment be? Again 1 dependent. Thanks

[Help Calculating Back Pay Amount To Verify Va's Payment]

NavyWife,

Thanks for the response. I will move as suggested. Your response is not clear. Does it mean that it will be $3000 times 2 for both 100% ratings or just 1 $3000 monthly total for both. Thanks

[How To Calculate Monthly Payment]

Thanks for your assistance. My husband is currently rated 100% PTSD. He is a Vietnam Vet-Agent Orange exposed and was treated for prostate cancer via radiation Sept 2013. What will his monthly temporary rate be with 1 dependent. His C & P Exam is scheduled for 8/11/14 at a QTC medical site. Thanks

Congrats on win. Now I have a question. My husband is currently 100% PTSD. He is Vietnam Vet AO exposure. He was diagnoised with and treated for prostate cancer. What will his full temporary monthly payment be until he gets a permanent rating for PC?

[Fully Developed Claims & Disability Benefits Questionnaire Info]

Even working for VA I still have no clue what some acronyms are....BBE? I would probably get a better idea if I could see the claim, but if u feel the effective date should be earlier, u need to submit evidence showing 1st diagnosis for PTSD. Hubby is Vietnam vet....was he boots-on-the-ground? (in-cou8ntry service)? if so, does he have diabetes or other comlications of Agent Orange exposure? Re kidney, when was this & what was the previous condition before it was removed? It COULD be related to Agent Orange as well. If u like, PM me & let me know.

All I need help. On May 8, 2014 my husband was rated 100% PTSD. I am waiting on the BBE. It was effective same day no retro pay. We will appeal. Your thoughts? He is also a Vietnam Vet I filed an informal claim. Just sent in a typed letter identifying prostate cancer where records can be found, docs name and claim #. That occurred 3/13. I received word through DAV that they sent her a letter of acknowledgement but did not send us anything. One year will be up 5/28/14. I do not want to lose any retro. At the time we were represented by Vietnam Veterans of America for PTSD appeal. I did not know we could not have two POAs. Question: do I need to complete a FDCF? Also he had a kidney removed- how should I handle that? The lady with VVA is very nice but not helpful. She told me to complete form 21-526, but I do not have a good feeling. Please help. God Bless and thanks for your service.

[Please Help My Vietnam Vet Husband]

Personally speaking. An Agent Orange Exam, was a waste of time for my husband. The examiner noted that he had tremors, but did not even deduce that it might be related to Parkinson's Disease which is a presumptive of AO. Basically the exam was a physical which also included some blood work. Try to educate yourself here on Hadit or anywhere regarding the presumptive conditions of AO. Best of Luck.

Many thanks for the response.

[Please Help My Vietnam Vet Husband]

Thank you so kindly. I am on my lunch break and will reply fully later on this evening. His rating is for PTSD. The appeal is for an increase. These new issues were just dignoised within the last 12-14 months. He has not filed an AO claim. I still need to know about the AO exam. Should he have one or no t? What are the benefits? A formal letter from me was sent to the VA regarding his prostate cancer announcing location of doctor, illness and medical records. We did not do a full claim. I just spoke to the VVA, no movement on appeal with AMC. Attorney did see where the formal letter was received in May 2013. Thanks.
