Thanks GBarmy… but please read my post clearly. I never said anything.
The reason they gave is that my C&P examiner referenced a previous note by my psychiatrist stating "SHE IS AFRAID IF I GET 100% I WILL USE IT ALL FOR DRUGS AND ALCOHOL"

Hello,
I was recently awarded 100% P&T, I am pleased about that! However the VA is withholding my retro pending a Fiduciary Proposal.
The reason they gave is that my C&P examiner referenced a previous note by my psychiatrist stating "SHE IS AFRAID IF I GET 100% I WILL USE IT ALL FOR DRUGS AND ALCOHOL"
Please, I would appreciate any and all feedback and anyone's experience on how to fight this PROPOSAL.
Thanks

Please do not resort to desperate measures. Always first consider your health and then consider applying for benefits. I know it is discouraging. I had two appeals that went to the BVA. The first took five years and the second took ten years. In the mean time you are swinging in the wind. Not wanting to discourage you, just let you know that you are not alone. See if you can start a hobby that occupies your mind instead of thinking about the VA. Once a person told me that if you do not have depression you will develop it dealing with the VA.
vetquest thanks for the feedback and thanks for your service. It just gets overwhelming at times, but you are RIGHT,
Thanks again......

BroncoVet, Thanks for you feedback. I cant write much more....doggone depression, anxiety and the monstrous HEAD of uncertainty is completely blocking my thought process. The only thing I feel right now is a growing sense of ANGER at a system that seems set up to drive one to "desperate measures" one way or the other.

Buck52. Thanks for your reply. Although it's kinda discouraging. Especially, to think that I first filled during my 2015 hospitalization within the required timeframe and was sent a letter saying my claim could not be processed due to my ongoing PTSD claim. You would think that under the VA's "duty to assist" IN THAT SAME LETTER they would have given me further instructions regarding a time limit to file for any future hospitalizations regarding my PTSD considering that recovery from PTSD is a GUARDED PROGNOSIS.
I figured from the letter (if my first claim could not be processed at the time then any other attempts would receive the same response.) so why further clog the system by filing a claim that cant be processed. And so I decided to wait Man this would really suck!!!!. I'm just so tired of all this.
Thanks tho.

Hello,
I would like to know can I apply for temporary 100% due to hospitalization retroactively?
Since being SC at 50% PTSD in 2014, I have been in numerous treatment programs spanning 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018. All time periods were for up to 6 months-one year.
When I first tried to file in 2015 I received a letter from the RO stating that because I had a appeal going for a PTSD increase my temp claim could not be processed at the time.
However, I recently filed again for Temp 100% on April 8th 2019 for all the various time periods despite my ongoing appeal and it appears they have processed my Temp claim
because a decision letter has been sent. What can I expect? I'm assuming if there is no statute of limitations on when to file I should be approved. But we all know what Ass-uming does
when it comes to dealing with the VA regarding claims. Please advise, as to weather there is a time limit.
Any feed-back or advice will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks All
Semper Fi.
P.S Please bear in mind that I filed "due to hospitalization" not "convalescence". It is my understanding that there is a difference

Hello folks,
am new to this forum and am interested to have your experienced feedback in regards to my recent C&P. My likely rating....and how long before a decision.
Also since I filed a NOD within the allotted timeframe from my initial grant in 2014... if decision is favorable will retro be from then? From my perspective it appears to according to the examiners notes I'm hopeful my rating will be 100%
