  1. thank you berta. the 1151 claim is unrelated to the housebound cue claim. dog bite ruined my left hand and va doc made a record that it was arthritis not related to dog bite. i don't want to muddy my mind with it right now, trying to stay on track with this cue problem. thank you for the info; i will save and use it. i appreciate your help.
  2. Thank you berta. i don't have my c file. i only have the letters sent with the decision and the notes in my medical record about the c and p exam. i was diagnosed with ptsd, major depression and cannabis use. 50 percent in 2011. then i opened new case 2015, because i went from bad to worse instead of getting better like i hoped. they granted 100 percent in 2015. i was ok with that; really so weary and unable to fight but it looked like it was over. then when putting papers away, i read through medical record for some reason, maybe like one last time, a bad habit i can't break but i saw that i was noted as "homebound" by the psychiatrist resident, verified signed by the phd psychologist, and the head of the psych department, and md. then, all the next appointments mostly had to do with my concerns about getting out, missing appointments (verified by medical rec missed appointments), missing time, hiring drivers, etc. it's well documented in my medical record these things that are/were the actual cause of my not being able to pursue and maintain gainful employment. of any kind, let alone in my field that required the highest level of detail, complex and critical thinking/acting/speaking, professionalism. i couldn't leave my home, still can't, except for emergency. i even order food from internet now. these are the type of entries in the medical record (psychologist phd, and psychiatrists, md's) yet i was never asked about it during the c and p exam. which for "agoraphobia" the c and p would include discussion or question about being in fact "homebound" aka housebound. legal term of art at the va: "housebound-in-fact". this error in identifying the most relevant (for gainful employment), critically disabling condition in my v.a. medical record, (agoraphobia or panic attack with ... or housebound/homebound or whatever they call it), were never addressed in the c and p exams nor in the c and p write up. or award letters. i have dbq's from 2 doctors and 1 nurse re: current housebound in fact. it doesn't seem to be disputed that i am now and was then (2008 coming to v.a., 2009 apply for disability, 2010 granted 50 percent, 2015 asked to reopen file, va immediately scheduled c and p, awarded one hundred percent in 2015, 2017 sent notice to va that they made error and i have 1151 claim, now working on error/cue claim here with you. thank you for helping. i'm getting it figured out and the work done but it's a long haul and so hard. i've been sick, injured, car stolen, daughter murdered, plus more. so everything goes slow for this old lady. i plug along and it helps to have someone to talk it out with. you've helped me so much. when i went to the va at first, it was for the scoliosis in my back. i thought they could help fix it. after 30 years of pain, i thought it was a good idea to ask them about it. sometimes/often chronic pain people do think about suicide. i'm no different. so when they heard that, they sent to shrink instead of back doctor which was going to take a long time. i went along to the appointments, missed alot, had miscommunications, had missing time, anxiety during appointments, etc., these just observed from the facts of the file, and the notes/entries by the doctors. the va came up with the idea of ptsd, (i'd never heard of it before) and depression and cannabis use. they missed one: agoraphobia, it looks like, but i'm not a doctor. i need shrink type to say that? to say/state/witness/document that's what the diagnosis should have been, and if it was that, then but for their error in not reading my medical record, i would have been one hundred percent and housebound in fact. (instead of fifty percent). giving me the eed of 2009. can they skip over diabetes or other indicators of blood sugar problems that directly point to diabetes? example. or if i came in to va with s/c legs off at the knees, and said it prevented me from getting out, and the doctor wrote a note: homebound veteran, doesn't leave his house except with help and companion driver, and only for necessity. and then went on to diagnose diabetes and the vet got fifty percent for diabetes. i've been contacted by a va social worker who determined i was homeless/living in conditions not made for habitation, and she notified the RO of same. they are waiting on the dbqs and the statements of the doctors/nurses which are going to change because i just have discovered "agoraphobia" in the last few days. i had no idea it was a medical/mental diagnosis or that's what i likely have. so i have to hone the statements of the witnesses, and i think get a psych exam to verify condition and medical record analysis.??
  3. Berta, i've thought of something. above, you said: "If, in 2008-2009- whenever you filed the claim that awarded 50%- if VA was aware of medical evidence that should have awarded you 100% at that time- that would have been a CUE- and if you had medical evidence of being housebound-that they knew of, that would be another CUE. " The medical evidence was in my V.A. file. The first appointment notes state that i am "homebound." The remaining notes also support this homebound, as i was/am concerned about not being able to get out. i had many discussions at the va about this. it's in the notes. Doesn't the medical record show agoraphobia possibility; whereas i should have been examined for this during the first c and p where i was awarded 50 percent? homebound in the medical record, signed by 3 doctors, supported by years of notes/evidence. i was not asked about not leaving my home at either the first or second c and p. Even though i have ptsd, this is a separate mental condition, panic attack with agoraphobia. Does this make sense? Do you see anything here for the CUE?
  4. thank you for the thoughtful reply. sounds like on the cue i don't have one. i'll just let it go then. i've read all the cue and 1151 posts. i have many folders and documents and outlines. i've been working on this for years and the little help i could muster is gone. i can't pull this all together and argue what seems to me clear that they didn't read the record, or if they did they ignored that i couldn't (can't) leave my home often. that means totally disabled. you're sure a go-getter Berta. bless you.
  5. thank you for the reply. yes, the grief is unbearable plus it leaves me totally alone in the world. already isolated due to ptsd, depression, etc., now my only helper is gone plus i lost my grandchildren too. thank you for the form. i'm actually doing pretty good on drafting the claim but it's a little convoluted, so i'm not sure about specific wording in my case. i need to tie the facts to my claim. in essense, the claim is that in 2008 i went to va for my back. they shifted me to psych, and the psychiatrist found that i was homebound (in my med record). then thru 09 to 10, i applied for disability and it was granted 50%. i didn't appeal; i thought they might be right. in 2015 i applied for increase. granted to 100%. Jan. 2015. then recently i reopened the case to claim cue and 1151 (not talking about that here). the error is in not examining me for housebound status when my medical record shows homebound plus other symptoms, notes, that show i am unable to work because of depression and ptsd. if i was examined for housebound (triggered by medical record), then they would have seen that i was 100% at the time. i was working as a lawyer, lost job in 06, couldn't keep appointments, poor hygeine, confusion, missing time, plus more. i am not challenging the subjective assessment of the original award. i'm arguing the original award obviously was incorrect because of va's failure to properly develop my claim. does this make sense?
  6. Hi Berta. I have a cue claim that i filed notice on to the va but i did not submit my letter and evidence. it's very straightforward.  but i need help to write it up as far as analysis.  can you help me?  my daughter was helping but she was killed last year and i'm just now getting to where i can even think of anything.  thank you for your help before on this forum and i hope to hear from you.

  7. Buck, homebound was not mentioned in the actual decision from the VA in 2009. But homebound and criteria for 100% are clearly in my medical record from the VA. Which is really all I have from that time period. Due to being homebound. I used to go to VA for medical but I don't do that anymore. And I recently stopped going out for food, found someone to deliver. Mostly. But i don't eat much anymore anyway. I just have to get the decisions out and look at them and figure it out. This all helps alot. Thank you.
  8. Thank you Berta and everyone else! I didn't think I presented evidence here, only asking about how the raters/bva, etc., view the medical records. If there is any case law or decisions or handbook or manuals as to whether or not they are bound by what is directly said, and what is implied by the circumstances. For example, MH rating does not require 'housebound' for 100%. But, if someone is housebound because they cannot leave due to anxiety, depression fear phobia ... and those things are admitted caused by SC disability, then housebound is an indication of P & T 100% ??? This is my theory I'm working on and so far, maybe. Back to research. Thank you.
  9. Yes, they had medical evidence in my file. Are doctors notes considered medical evidence? Are those notes prima facie evidence of what they state? If a doctor says "housebound" and the head doc agrees, and then the later doctor/psychologist appointments state circumstances that support housebound due to service connected depression, etc. I'll look up the EED, but it was to the date I filed, around 2015 or so. All times I've filed they decide fast. This time, too, as I filed NOD and now, decision is in my mailbox but I can't get there, housebound, after all. So I'm going to use this info you gave so far, and put together with NOD decision and give a timeline to you so you (and others ) can see a good timeline as reference and roadmap. Blessed day, and love.
  10. Yes, Gastone, good idea. I'm living rough right now but i do have to get to copy/scan/fax soon, so maybe today later I can post it. Thank you for your help, everyone.
  11. Thank you Buck. My question about the SMCs is answered. I do have one disability that is 100%. And I am housebound in fact, as per my medical record notation by doctors. So, this convo needs to move to CUE forum as that is what I am looking at here, CUE in the first decision. I need to know how to do that. I'll copy and paste over there in a little while. Thanks again.
  12. No doctor filled out the dr statement for housebound. I just recently found the notation in my medical record. Yes, schedular, P&T. All 3 combined into one rating (they considered as mental health, which is just one rating). What I believe happened is this: I was discharged with 10% disability for depression. Statute says if discharged with 10%, then automatically it's 50% disability. So, I think they just did an automatic on me and did not read my medical record. I was housebound in 2008, they knew it, my record clearly indicates severe trouble and homeless as well. I should have been 100% + SMC S in 2009. Then in 2015, I especially should have been 100% + SMCs. They did find the 100% but not SMCs. If they are bound to the medical record as prima facie evidence, then it (housebound) is established in the record (VA med rec) in 2008, continuous until I quit going to VA. (which is another story and another claim, 1151, for aggravating ptsd to the point where i no longer leave for medical or food (my only 2 reasons to leave) due to abuse from va doc.) So in my mind it looks like the questions are: 1. does that notation of "housebound" in my medical chart constitute viable claim for CUE error that would then increase the 09 rating to 100% ... CUE?
  13. Here's what I don't understand. "Housebound in fact" requires housebound status, plus 100% disability? The fact is that I was housebound per medical records in 2008. Same as if the doc said I had cancer or heart disease, right? Well, if the medical recordes say I was unable to leave home, then doesn't that fact say I should be 100% , then SMC s, in 2009 decision? CUE? I've said this several ways but I don't explain things very well anymore and I don't know if i'm making sense or explaining it. This is one reason why i don't pursue claims. Bless.
  14. Asknod, thank you Do you think there is any hope for CUE back to 09 date since if I was housebound at that date, I couldn't possibly be 50%? See the reasoning? Any comment? Thank you so much. I also could file for disability for hep c because i worked on vaccine crew as the "wiper" following corpsman along the line, wiping the blood from jet guns. alot of blood, one arm after the other, no gloves anywhere in sight, one towel. wipe one arm, then the next, down the line until rag so bloody, get another. but i need to decide about the earlier decision and whether to let it go or cue??? thank you again.
  15. Thanks, Buck. Do you have idea as to documents or form for this?
  16. Hi everyone! I started going to VA in 2008. I just discovered in my medical file that psychiatrist resident, as well as the head psychiatrist approved her diagnosis that I am housebound. That's 2 doctors. Then, over the next 2 years or so, many details in med record support housebound. Sep 09, filed disability. 50% granted. (ptsd, depression, cannabis dependence) Approx. May 2015, filed for increase. 100% granted, same as above. I filed NOD. My question regards this newly discovered evidence of record that shows since 2008, i was diagnosed housebound. I also have current evidence of housebound, it's no mystery around here that I don't go anywhere. And haven't for years. Is the disability examiner bound by this diagnosis in 2008? If so, then 1. if I am housebound per physician diagnosis in VA medical notes, then how can I be 50%? Wouldn't that defacto be 100% 2. any ideas on approach for this? NOD with SMC S claim to date back to Sep 09? Or CUE? Help!? Thank you and bless.
  17. tbird, i re-read my post above where you suggested it was too long and advocating. you are confusing positive facts with advocacy? knowledge is power. i posted facts and personal experience - my own and others. i'm sorry you do not want this information out to your readers. other veteran sites welcome valuable information that helps in making informed decisions. guess i'll say goodbye and hang out there. bless you. /s/ Sistah Cannabi "emancipate your selfs from mental slavery; none but ourselves can free out mind." ~ Bob Marley, prophet
  18. knowledge is power. i heard that somewhere. i try to speak in terms of facts, research results, scientific studies and personal experience (mine as well as other vets). so we can make good informed decisions about our own health. the v.a. doesn't do that for us. or doctors in private "practice". if cannabis is not legal everywhere, many people go to where it is legal. parents are flooding colorado with their sick children. they are called medical refugees. they already tried everything available, the same way i did, and many others. by stating that fact ^, I am not advocating that anyone take that action. or even believe what I say. I just say it because it's a truth I can speak. and I know from first-hand experience the help it has done for vets, especially pain and ptsd/depression. this is my way to help vets. there is very little else I can do, thanks to drugs - prescription drugs and ptsd/depression itself. we are educated and aware. we can look at information, combine reason with common sense and our values, then make a good decision about what action to take. we can't get a good decision without information. the vets here have problems ... have you read the topics and posts? cannabis may be a solution for some, many or all. i just pass along a few thoughts. i apologize to one and all if this information about the plant and its use is not politically or socially correct or if it disturbs the values of the owner/operator and/or users of this site. many people and institutions want this quiet. i'd hope as disabled vets, we can ask: why? Sistah Cannab
  19. Dear fellow vets, i was recently increased from 50% to 100% schedular for these disabilities: ptsd depression cannabis dependence. the va stated that the cannabis likely controlled my ptsd and depression. this is a fact i'm sharing about my experience in the claims process. i am a credible witness; i'm disabled vet, have mba, law degree, college professor, science writer, corporate counsel and avid researcher on all topics affecting vets. especially those of us who gave our lives, the living here and now as well as the living in everlasting life. blessings be. /s/ Sistah Cannabis
  20. tbird, i'm a little confused here. is posting facts and antecdotes "advocating"? you advocate for vets in their claims. many (and growing more and more) claims/issues involve the fraud that has been perpetrated on all of us vets - denied the use of cannabis. it seems like overall empowerment issue, as well as giving vets information to make informed choice. why would you want to diminish the importance of this topic to vets, especially those here, who are disabled and distraught? why in the world would you want to censor this discussion? I recently got a nice decision and was going to share it with tbird, hadit.com, being a big help. so i'm surprised at this level of what seems to be censorship of information beneficial to vets in distress.
  21. http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/marijuana-decreases-death-rates-from-pain-killers-by-over-30-percent/ so doctors and dea and va and all of those involved have created more work and more money for themselves. at the cost of veterans and their health. first they deny use of the best painkiller available - cannabis. then they get you addicted to pain pills of all sorts. ($$$) then they make you come in every so often (they decide) to get "refill" ($$$) then they try to deny you pain pills of all sorts; make you come in and grovel ($$$). then they cut you off from old pain pills; force you to try new pain pills. ($$$) then they "treat" you for all sorts of maladies - diabetes, alzheimers, cancer, insomnia, arthritis, neuropathy. ($$$) and all the while, during this process, you are debilitated, dead, diseased, groveling, addicted and disfunctional. all because ... they denied you having cannabis. true that. One love, the ultimate creation, /s/ Sistah Cannabis
  22. http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/marijuana-decreases-death-rates-from-pain-killers-by-over-30-percent/ Berta, thank you for the information. Veterans do not have to abide by all these deaths. Cannabis is a better painkiller, has no [harmful] side effects, is not addicting, and CANNOT kill you. you could not commit suicide with cannabis; nor cause yourself real harm. these are scientific, provable medical facts. Some people want to continue prescription drugs. That's fine. But for those of us who are so debilitated from taking drugs that we can't take anymore, then cannabis is the last resort. If it was the first resort, we would not have opiate deaths, disabilities due to drug use, and happier lives. Thank you again for posting so much good info. /s/ Sistah Cannabis "Rise up, falling fightahs, rise and take your stance again.

  23. I agree with bob barker above. after extensive research, I discovered that many vets were using medical cannabis (aka the slang term: marijuana). vets in states where it is legal (and others, too, I suspect) are using cannabis to decrease opiates, anti-depressants/anxiety and sleeping pills. apparently some vets do ok with all the pharma drugs. but, many do not. this forum at hadit.com proves that many vets are unhappy with the efffects of the drugs they take and look for other approaches. i took care of my mother until she passed away in my arms. she could not sleep and she tried ambien which made her drugged, so much that I found her on the floor of her bedroom, laughing at having fallen, twice. she only had one kidney (thanks to prescription drugs that killed her other kidney). cannabis helped her sleep, with no side effects, other than sleepy. which is what we wanted. and i myself use cannabis for sleep. it's wonderful. nice relaxing drift-off. no morning hangover. medical cannabis also helps with withdrawals, tapering down, as well as assisting opiates in pain relief. if you want a doctor to help with those things, in the "legal" states, that is available as many doctors will support and help you. In colorado, for example, you have choice of many doctors and clinics to help with pain management including cannabis. and they will help find the right strains to use. mostly-indica and lower thc varieties seem to work for many in decreasing pain. it's impossible to overdose in a technical sense. yes, you can take too much and be uncomfortable for awhile, but no physiological or psychological harm is done. and taking too much can be averted by using common sense.

  24. Dear Fellow Vets: Many of us have taken or now take opiates for pain relief. We know they do not work long-term; we know they cause injury and death. We know we will be treated like drug addicts and criminals if we complain about opiates being taken away. Trying to get free from this drug-induced madness, we look for alternates. Are there any? Yes, thanks to the cannabis plant. Here's an excerpt from an article describing the decrease in deaths from opiates (please read entire article and reply if you'd like to discuss this): http://healthimpactnews.com/2014/marijuana-decreases-death-rates-from-pain-killers-by-over-30-percent/ A recent study has revealed some very interesting facts about medical marijuana, relief of chronic pain and patient safety. Meanwhile medical marijuana is becoming legal in more and more states. Here’s why you should be thinking about it if you or a loved one suffers from chronic pain. A team of investigators from the University of Pennsylvania decided to take a look at the incidence of opioid-related deaths in states that have legalized medical marijuana. They reasoned that since pain control is a major reason why people use medical marijuana, states that have legalized or decriminalized the herb might have lower rates of opioid-related deaths. The study was published in JAMA Internal Medicine. About 60 percent of overdoses occur in people prescribed the drugs by a single physician, not in those who “doctor shopped” or got them on the black market. And a third of those were taking a low dose. That just doesn’t happen with marijuana. 33 Percent Reduction In Deaths From Opioids To test its theory, the team analyzed medical marijuana laws and 10 years of death certificates from every state in the United States. The research team discovered that, in states that allowed medical marijuana, the overall average annual death rate from opioid overdose was almost 25% lower than it was in states where medical marijuana remained illegal. Not only that, but the relationship grew stronger over time. When average death rates were looked at on a year-to-year basis, the researchers discovered that deaths from opioids decreased by an average 20% in the first year of medical marijuana legalization…25% by the second year…and up to 33% by the fifth and sixth years after medical marijuana was legalized. ”It’s been known anecdotally,” says researcher Mark Ware, MD, assistant professor of anesthesia and family medicine at McGill University in Montreal. “About 10% to 15% of patients attending a chronic pain clinic use cannabis as part of their pain [control] strategy…we’ve shown again that cannabis is analgesic,” Ware says. “Clearly, it has medical value.” The cannabis relieves pain, Ware says, by ”changing the way the nerves function.” The Institute of Medicine published in its Mar. 17, 1999 report titled Marijuana and Medicine: Assessing the Science Base. “In conclusion, the available evidence from animal and human studies indicates that cannabinoids can have a substantial analgesic effect.” When it comes to pain management, some studies even suggest that patients who use vaporizers to consume medical marijuana could experience excellent results. A team of Israeli scientists recently conducted a clinical trial in which they discovered that patients who vaporized whole-plant cannabis felt a substantial amount of relief from nerve pain. These findings, which were published in the latest edition of the Journal of Pain and Palliative Care Pharmacotherapy, indicate that the majority of the study participants reported this reduction as the result of inhalers. Misconceptions about Opioids Misconception #1: Opioids work well for chronic pain. An estimated 90 percent of people suffering long-term pain wind up being prescribed an opioid despite little evidence that the drugs help much or are safe when used long term. “But we do know that the higher the dose and the longer you take it, the greater your risk,” says Gary Franklin, M.D., research professor of environmental and occupational health sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle. People who take opioids for more than a few weeks often develop tolerance, so they require higher doses, which in turn breeds dependence. And although higher doses can ease pain, they commonly cause nausea and constipation, disrupt your immune system and sex life, and leave you feeling too fuzzy-headed to participate in things such as physical activity that can speed your recovery. And in a cruel twist, the drugs can make some people more sensitive to pain. Misconception #2: Opioids are not addictive when used to treat pain. Somewhere between 5 percent and 25 percent of people who use prescription pain pills long-term get addicted. Fewer women are dependent on prescription painkillers than men, but they may become dependent more quickly and are more likely to doctor shop. Misconception #3: Extended-release versions are safer. Opioids such as hydromorphone (Exalgo), oxycodone (OxyContin and generic), morphine (Avinza, MS Contin, and generic), and the newly approved Zohydro ER stay in the body longer and are usually stronger than short-acting forms. But doctors sometimes prescribe them for convenience–patients need to take fewer pills–and because they believe that long-acting drugs are less likely to cause a drug “high” and lead to addiction. But there’s no evidence those drugs work better or are safer than short-acting ones. And people dependent on opioids seek out the higher potency of the long-acting versions. That’s why public health groups and law enforcement agencies fear that the new Zohydro ER is prone to abuse. Why Cannabis is Safer Gregory T. Carter, MD, Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine at the University of Washington, stated the following in his response titled “The Argument for Medical Marijuana for the Treatment of Chronic Pain,” published in an article titled “Medical Marijuana: A Viable Tool in the Armamentaria of Physicians Treating Chronic Pain? A Case Study and Commentary,” in the May 2013 issue of Pain Medicine: “[R]esearch further documents the safety and efficacy of medicinal cannabis for chronic pain. Cannabis has no known lethal dose, minimal drug interactions, is easily dosed via oral ingestion, vaporization, or topical absorption, thereby avoiding the potential risks associated with smoking completely… Natural cannabis contains 5-15% THC but also includes multiple other therapeutic cannabinoids, all working in concert to produce analgesia…” The Mayo Clinic stated in its Aug. 25, 2006 online article “Marijuana as Medicine: Consider the Pros and Cons”: “People widely used marijuana for pain relief in the 1800s, and several studies have found that cannabinoids have analgesic effects. In fact, THC may work as well in treating cancer pain as codeine, a mild pain reliever. Cannabinoids also appear to enhance the effects of opiate pain medications to provide pain relief at lower dosages. Researchers currently are developing new medications based on cannabis to treat pain.” David Hadorn, MD, PhD, Medical Consultant for GW Pharmaceuticals, Ltd., wrote in his July 17, 2003 document titled, “Use of Cannabis Medicines in Clinical Practice,” published on his personal website www.davidhadorn.com (website no longer available, Feb. 17, 2009): “Scientists have known for many years that cannabinoids (the major active ingredients in cannabis medicines) are potent pain relievers, and that they act synergistically with opiates to increase the degree of pain relief. The addition of cannabis medicines to therapeutic regimens can reduce the need for opiates by 50 percent or more in many patients (while also reducing side effects such as constipation that opiates commonly produce).” Denis Petro, MD, Board of Directors for Patients Out of Time, wrote in his paper titled “Spasticity and Chronic Pain” published in the 1997 book Cannabis in Medical Practice – A Legal, Historical and Pharmacological Overview of the Therapeutic Use of Marijuana: “The evidence in support of cannabis as a treatment for pain exists both in preclinical animal studies and in a small number of clinical trials. Since cannabis contains many active cannabinoids in varying amounts in differing plants, a coherent recommendation concerning use against pain symptoms is lacking… Considering the alternative of addicting drugs such as the opiate analgesics, patients may opt for the relative safety of cannabis.” Based on these findings, many pain experts are now advising that physicians recommend cannabis therapy in lieu of opiate medications to “reduce the morbidity and mortality rates associated with prescription pain medications.” Read the full article at PreventDisease.com See Also: Medical Cannabis: The REAL Reason the Government Wants to Keep it Banned Feds Say Cannabis Is Not Medicine While Holding The Patent on Cannabis as Medicine How Medical Cannabis Changed Our Lives: A Testimonial Tags: cannabis, marijuana Blessings be, one and all! /s/ Sistah Cannabis "cannabis is the healing of a nation." ~ Bob Marley, original freedom fightah
  25. I called that crisis line. I was suicidal at the time. big time. the young girl who answered the phone interrupted me to tell me, quite condescendingly, that this line was for veterans only. now when they suggest i call the line if in "crisis" i just laugh at them and tell them what happened to me. i would never call the line. just sayin'.
