Hang in there, my letters were unavailable for several months.

Letters seems to be working now

Still unable to get any letters..anyone else?

Mine have been unavailable for over a week

No..I got my code sheet and spoke with someone that works at the vba...no further exams scheduled per the code sheet...mostly due to nature of my comtentions, statements made by cp examiners. And my age..I should not expect future exams..I am being paid 70%...I quess because I am working..work for my brother in law part time......I can't keep a job. And what I do for him i don't need to interact with people much.

All claims c!osed...50% PTSD. 20% PNES. 10% tinnitus. 10% idiopathic disequilibrium... 70% va math...no further exams scheduled...thanks to asknod and hadit Semper fi

GAF is not used anymore

Okay so I went ahead and called Peggy the 1 800 number and they pulled it up and they said it's a very unique file and there is no scheduled future exam etc in the future looks like it's all written in stone he says its some of these can be rare cases where you're not going to be eval'd due to my age and disabilies

Hi thanks for helping us all out with your knowledge. I have a question...I am 70% combined 4 issues..nothing in any of my award letters say anything about future exams..I am 52 just got my awards !ast year..I have been messed up for 30 yrs..50% PTSD..on my cp exam vamc Dr said I have been suffering since the day my stressor occurred... Just curious if I would expect reexam? Thanks

They only reclaim if the severence disability is the same as the sc Va rated disability.

PR thanks for your info. I am still making my way thru this va journey, trying to understand...my story is long and complicated. I hope to put it out here one of these days and hope to get some advice.

50%..per my cp exam vamc psyc examanier been suffering since stressor 28 years ago..put my claim in last summer.

My VAMC pyscologist diagonosed me with both,but I only got rated for PTSD,I never put a claim in for depression.. Should I and can I?

Quick question navy04.. Did you request an increase or did they do it automatically?

Navy4, I appreciate your concern and comments. I have followed your journey on here for awhile. I guess we gotta do what we must. Bless you and yours.

Just wondering if I am confused about this issue...I don't uunderstand why you must be in treatment for PTSD to continue your payments...I have been suffering since 1986 And only recently recieved a rating 50%. The thinking that if you are not getting treatment they assume you are getting better doesn't hold water..I didn't get treatment for 30 years and I didn't get better. I have been thru CBT at my VAMC and it made me worse. Think about it.....

I realize that this is an old thread but..I don't uunderstand why you must be in treatment for PTSD to continue your payments...I have been suffering since 1986 And only recently recieved a rating 50%.

Any news jaz?

Gastone and all..thanks..my deferred is for tbi..they have me scheduled for an ace exam. Which is next week..I will advise. my story is a long one. But in a nut shell, it all started once I learned that tinnitus was claimable. I was involved in an explosion and within two years of that incident I was medically retired on the temporary disabled retirement listafter 3 years I was offered a severance package which I accepted and I was given a boatload of bad information at that time I was advised I could not apply for benefits wasn't eligible for any VA stuff I was young and had a family to worry about so I never pursued anything however I have suffered for many many years with many different issues after I contacted the DAV things started to come together and I realized I needed to get reevaluated for issues which I did my situation was well documented so it wasn't like I had to prove anything. at the time of the explosion TBI and PTSD wasn't even discussed with me and really no one in the medical field knew much about it at that time.

They are working on my dependants claim..I am married

Thanks again everyone..I havnt posted much but I sure have read alot...I will keep you informed in regard to the tbi ACE exam.

I have had very bad tinnitus for over 25 years..I listen to music or radio talk shows via earphones or a blutooth device..it works great to help me get to sleep

Thank you, I want to thank everyone on this site..I will be making a donation. Reading the various forums has been cathartic and helped thru the stress of the claims process.

Got my bbe today..thanks for all the knowledge. 50% ptsd 10% tinnitus TBI deferred. I will advise when I know more. filed july 2014. Not too bad..my situation was well documented.
