  1. Last week I got a reply to my NOD filed 16jan ! I did not get a percentage increase of my 60% rating ! Instead they combined my disabilities into one at 60% ,IU granted with no furture exams for these disabilities. Two c&p s are sechueled for other claims mentioned in my NOD ! I'm happy with that!
  2. If i file a tort claim with an attorny , Will there be any negitive repercussion from the VA ?
  3. Nov. 2007 received a decsion rating me at 60%. Filed NOD 16 jan 08. Today I get a phone call from the houston regional office. A rating officer informed me that IU has been awarded reto to june o6 . I will receive all of my back pay in 7-10 days. Three C&P exams have been schualed for other concerns in my NOD. Don't think p&t will be a problem at all !
  4. In my last award letter i was informed that i was elegiable for voc rehab. Signed up and went for orination and interrview ! They recommended me for ILP. From there an independent contractor came to my home to see how they could help me . After his report , the voc rehab counsler recommended I be given a grant for home improvements. This process has taken approx 60 days . And that is where we stand today. Approval must come from the regional office. I'll try to keep you informed as it progresses. Ronn
  5. Is there any determining factors that can be noted as to those that took 4 1/2 months as opposed to those that took a year or more ? Had to ask to try and keep my sanatiy from all this waiting !
  6. Yes, that is the gentleman that paid me a visit. Thanks for catching that
  7. Today I had a visit from a young man sent by a voc rehab counselor to interview me to see how the ILP program can help me. He is a sub contractor. He calls him self a rehabilition engineer. He has his own web site that might be worth your time ! http://www.rehabengineering.com/homepage.html
  8. IU for starters, them maybe a remodel of kitchen and bath so that i might live the rest of my life more independatly
  9. While I have not been granted IU yet I expect to be soon . My vocational rehab counselor has recommended me for the ILP program. What can I expect?
  10. They had me taking Trazadone & codine for awhile til my wife caught me trying to catch the swirling little balls of light ! Was having a good time ! :)
  11. Carlie , sorry for your disability. The thing i think everyone is missing is the fact that he said you are a heavy smoker. Now you want compinsation for a respritory disorder. AM I missing something here. Your not alone.I smoked for 35 years and they want compensate my COPD !!
  12. Here is the one I use Berta. If there is a better one I have not found it. I even use it to lookup my meds to see what there not telling me ! http://www.medicinenet.com/script/main/hp.asp Ronn
  13. Guess that would be money well spent, with all the horrow stories I've read on the VA.
  14. In my initial claim for cancer of the throat ,VA sent me a notice saying they were considering my claim for lung cancer. A week later i get another one saying throat cancer. The decision came with no mention of lung cancer. Thought it might have been a mistake. On my claim for increase , in two different places they mention a service connected miglignancy in your lung. They go on to say " No lung miligancy has been confirmed by the evidence of record." A few weeks after I was hospitalised for stroke, this one doctor came ih and wanted to stick a needle through my chest into my lung to take a sample. At first i said ok ! After laying there and thinking on it a while& seeing this long package & no sign of any antisedic, he walks in with 4 or 5 interns in tow. I told him he must be dreaming cuz no way was he sticking me wit that thing ! # 1 , I've never mentioned any lung cancer in a claim #2. Two other VA doctors , when I ask a direct question, answered that I do not have lung cancer Since it is mentioned in my claim decsion, I really don't know what to think. Any thoughts on this? How do i correct this ?
  15. Thankyou both of ya. I filed for TDIU at the same time. that was denied . The vocal cord & the disequalibrem (learned new big word) they should have picked upon,but they ignored. I didn't have evidence of the stricture until it was to late to submit or it would futher delay my claim . I sent an iris request asking that it be considered. Yea right! They only considered evidence up to one month after i left the hospital. that is when it was reduced to 60% . I now have all my records. Reading medical reports i've got to look up every other word ,so it's slow and depressing . I feel I'll win, just one step at a time. semper-fi Ronn
