Vetta

By interview do you mean hearing? No I havent I just received the package Friday. I'm in the process of writing a letter stating that I feel I don't need a fiduciary. There's a number listed for me to call if I want a hearing which I do. The letter stated that I can bring a VSO or a lawyer. Which leads to another question. I was dianoised with ptsd/mst around 7 months ago although I suffered with the symptoms ( nightmares, panic attacks depression among other things) for over 20 years. I kinda went into this blind contacted the VFW on several occasions via emails and phone calls asking them with for help filing my claim to no avail. I decided to file without any representation. At the time I didn't know about VSO's (still don't ...) How do I get a VSO or lawyer to represent me? Which one would be better. I know time is of the essence and I want to move fast on this. Thanks

Wow that's a lot of exams!!! I was diagnosed by the VA in 2014 although I suffered with it for over 23 years. I finally reached my breaking point last year. It's really hard for me to deal with potentially having someone govern me financially. I'm pretty independent. I'm going to take you up on the SSDI help. So SSDI deemed you not able to manage your finances?

I think I am permanent my paper work states " we assigned a permanent 100% disability evaluation for your service connected disability effective ---- No examination will be scheduled in the future for your permanent and total disability

Hi Pete yes that paper work is in my package. The incompetence paper work is also there. I'm going to appeal. Would it be a good idea to set up a hearing or write a letter or both? What evidence could I use to support I am competent? I have excellent credit own my home have never been behind in any of my bills.

Thank you John. Hmmmm... My claim says " your overall or combined rating is 100%. More then likely I will be leaving my job I just need to tie up some loose ends. Thanks

The VA money would replace it next year. I'm putting my niece thru colledge she graduates this year so that's an expense I can do away with.

Okay just recieved my package. it says that I'm 100 percent. If I was TDIU would it say in the letter?

thanks Navy good luck on your exam!

Yes but i am not eligible for it.

Hmmm.... your prob right. It does say in my commissary letter "the veteran has not been scheduled for future examinations"
