I made a previous post but I some how lost it. I have a DRO at a two year wait that seems to be finally having some activity. It just spent about ten days with the "Regulatory or procedural Review" . Does anyone know what that is? Thanks, Siri

What type of SMC would I qualify for? I am 100% PT and the percentages are as follows: 70% depression PTSD, lumped into Mood disorder 60% Interstitual cystitis 30% Gerds 30% L foot 20% R foot 10% Scar I received a decision in Sept 2010 and I appealed using a DRO. They denied connection for lung disorders from recurrent aspiration pneumonia. They also denied aid and attendance. May 2011 I had a Compensation and Pension exam. In that report the doctor wrote the following. " It as at least likely as as not the veterans recurrent pneumonias are directly due to the service connected GERD." The same doctor also wrote about activities, " Extremely limited for all chores and activities. This is due to a combination of respiratory and musculoskeletal problems." I am on oxygen at all times so this disability would be 100% in itself. I am still waiting for a decision from the DRO. In the meantime, the va gave me an electric chair for my relentless foot pain and difficult breathing. I was referred to a va home nurses program that is still being set up. I would welcome any comments or suggestions.

I was found disabled by social security for depression in 1991. I did not know I could also apply for va compensation. I was awarded 30% by va in 2006 for depression (Mood Disorder). 2010 my disability was increased to 70% due to connecting military sexual trauma I had in service 1969. It was lumped into Mood Disorder once again even though it is severe depression and ptsd due to this trauma. Is this a cue or just too bad, I should have filed earlier? I have a great deal of difficulty speaking of any details of mst even today because the terror I had recreates the trauma like it is happening over. I have several other sc disabilities totaling 100%. I would really appreciate any advise.
