    Has anyone had any success adding dependents to their Ebenefits? Everytime I click the link it asks me to log in again...

    Went to travel pay today and they said I'd be getting a check for every single appointment I had for my SC disabilities as well as C&P, wooot wooot!

    Thanks Fat! Any opinions on the pics I uploaded, anyone?

    I feel as though I've gotten a pretty good rating for my first go round, but if the conditions worsen, I definitely will do that. I haven't been working this year, since January and I've only had sporadic employment since 2010. One of the full-time jobs I had was in 2013 and the other was this past year, both no more than 6 months each. Both of them I had to quit because of my depression symptoms. What's the best way to show that I've been unemployed? Tax returns? or maybe a letter from friends/family? Thanks Rick!! Yeah, I'm a bit confused because I've gotten the award letter, and it registers on ebenefits as 80%. Is there anything that comes after the award letter? I have a few pending disability claims that they said needed further examination. I hope that doesn't delay payment for what I HAVE been approved for. If it helps any in figuring this all out, I filed for a hardship grant due to my nearly being homeless again and owing rent to my landlady, I'm wondering if I will still be granted that grant. I did not complete a fully developed claim until this past January, but if I can get retro from last year, that'd be wonderful. Did you get paid from 2013? I also have to add a dependent, my daughter, which should've been added from the getgo being that I had to submit a copy of her social and birth certificate. I believe I'll know more at the beginning of August if my start date for pay is July, correct? Should I have seen something about retro payment in the award letter? I've attached pictures from my award letter of the disabilities I was approved for in the hopes that it might be of help in decyphering this issue. Thanks for all your help, folks!

    Also, how would I go about applying after receiving award letter? Would that push anything back with other disabilities? I have a few things that were deferred and would rather have some money coming in than having to wait another 3 months..Thanks everyone!

    No exam on that date...I originally applied back sometime in 2014 and did not have my divorce decree so I put it on hold...Then, in January 2015 I finally got to where I was going after spending over half a year homeless and also bouncing from address to address. That's what I was a little confused by, Bronc. When I look at my disabilities, it also has some of them saying 2014 and some of them 2015 but I was under the impression that I would be retro'ed from January of 2015 for 80%. What is ya'll's opinion I could get TDIU? I haven't really worked in over 5 years, some occasionally working for day labor, other than that, I did have two jobs but they were both less than 5 months after calling in alot due to my depression. Thanks Eagle & Kelly!!!! I'm super excited, ready for August to get here already, lol. I need to buy a truck with my retro!

    Thanks for the opinion!

    What would suggest if it were P&T?
  9. bluelotus
    Thanks for your input Buck. I'm wondering if this had anything to do with the fact that I started a claim but didn't have my daughter's info and my divorce decree so I kinda gave up on it until I got to MN, in July. I was only expecting retro from Jan to June but if it goes back that far, that's even better!!
  10. bluelotus
    Also, when will I find out if it's P&T
  11. bluelotus
    Gotta few questions: What does this mean? I have not received any compensation thus far...

    I appreciate the responses, fellow vets. The issue I have is that the information provided is incorrect. If this were the case, I believe my PCP would've put it in my record, over the year+ that he has seen me. I've never had an issue getting care from him and the only reason I took this guy over my PCP (the director) is because I was desperate to get relief. Another issue I have, is that he took me off one medicine and put me back on the medicine I was on before, that did not work. This wasn't a part of a C&P but rather, just a regular doc appointment... I appreciate the responses!

    I recently had a doctor put in my medical file, "avoid opioids given hx of polysubstance abuse and depression.". This really infuriates me for two reasons: 1) The only opioids I have been prescribed was months ago, for back pain, and have no other pain killers prescribed since 2) He states that I have been abusing multiple substances, due to the fact that I tested positive for THC, months ago, in which at one point when I lived in a MMJ state, I was actually prescribed and had my license. How would I go about getting this removed from my file? I feel as though it's insulting and unfair.

    I updated it to reflect a more concise posting. Thanks in advance fellow veterans. Thanks for confirming what I thought might be the case, Navy04.

    Bueler? Bueler? I know this may be hard on the eyes, what's the best way to copy text in here? I don't see an option for Rich Text Format.

    EDITED

    I don't take any of their shit either. Its like with anything else in life, if you're willing to "help" them lie to you, or allow it in other words, they'll put right up in your keister..
  18. bluelotus
    EDITED
  19. bluelotus
    LOL, yes. I have some info I am going to post that kind of covers some of these questions we've been having..
  20. bluelotus
    Thanks Mike...I wanna share a convo I had with a VA Rep today, culling private info out of it now..
  21. bluelotus
    Outstanding Gastone! thank you! I know what I'm getting done today. I'll report back my findings..
  22. bluelotus
    Is this something that is possible? I've looked at the pinned post but its quite ambiguous, at least to me. Can I ask for clarification or a statement or even drop off DBQ's to my PCP? Anyone with experience with this?
  23. bluelotus
    Thank you Andy! I feel the same for you and everyone else here with a pending claim. I feel as if going to my psych doctor is a waste of time. There's NL direction, just like blowing in the wind with treatment.

    Fat, I had a CT scan done when I was in pph. Should I point that out, they did find issues with my sinuses when they did it but all brain activity was normal. Is that something they will notice and account for? I'm just curious as to how thorough the raters are at putting the puzzle together. Also, will my ct scan be evaluated and tied in? This group is outstanding! Thank you fellow veterans!! Should I go to my primary care physician and give him DBQs or will they consult with him? Just curious as to how thorough the VA raters are..
  25. bluelotus
    Wow! I am highly impressed with all of the information that you all have provided. Thank you, Gastone, Andy, ArNG, Talon, Berta!! I do have the obituaries of my comrades who passed away, which I included in my last statement. Do you believe this would be sufficient?
