  1. In 1969 had shot in left and right arm same time then given the Polio Sugar Cube. Had dozens of shot in Amariillo, Lackland & Vietnam most with the gun.
  2. When you are 100% P&T, you got all you can get, so I believe my comment was on point Well, hell I have to call the VA & give them back everything over 100%. I hope you don't pass the kind of information to other vets. After the 100%, I had Agent Orange connected Cancer & then IHD. So I guess the VA wants the money back. I lost track of what this conversation was all about when I read your comment. The VA needs to do away with most of the SMC program if they follow your advice. Sorry this upsets me.
  3. Yes..Yes love it when I vet wins. Cograts on your win.
  4. Good luck with your claim. Just thinking, not many vets that don't need money yesterday. I've yet to meet vet that said take your time, let others go ahead I don't need the money anyway. I know that you have hardship, most of us have needs just wonder how the VA rates those requests. I've had friends that lost families, homes, job etc. waiting on the VA. Sad, but waiting is the only thing consistant about the entire VA System.
  5. "returning your claims file to the VA Medical Center" When I read the above I'm thinking Remand for another C & P. Why would it go to the VA Medical Center otherwise? JMHO
  6. At some point, probably 1998, I decided that I was finished with VSO & have gone out on my own since then. If I need to know anything I ask Hadit members & try to research using the computer. It's my claim & regardless of what happens I just take the blame & go on with my life. It's a lot less drama for me. You have to decide if you want to go alone or seek another VSO. If you look for another VSO talk with as many vet friends in your area & one might appear. Then if he is any good he'll probably be so busy he can't see you for months. GOOD LUCK

    Thanks, I've added Independent Living Program (ILP) to Ebenefits as things I need to avoid.
  8. Why do vets drive themselves crazy checking Ebenefits? Seems until you have the letter in hand it's just waste of time. JMHO
  9. Sounds like you have SMC "K" Award already. As far as I know that's all you would get for that & Guess you are getting residuals of Prostate Cancer at some low ball percentage also.
  10. Love It...when Vet finally gets what they deserve from VA. Be good to yourself & family Don
  11. Great News...always love it when vets gets what he deserves...you & your husband take care & enjoy it..
  12. You'll have convinced me I made the correct decision not signing up for Ebebefit or any of the other happy VA computer help systems. Last thing a person needs that has PTSD & bad Heart is more stress. JMHO, Don
  13. Every one of us will recieve this Health Eleigibility Center of the Depatment of VA Handebook & has nothing to do with your claim. Sorry, if I'm wrong someone correct me. Don
  14. How did you get METS 5-7? Did you tell them you could walk mile or more, cut grass, do yard work, etc.? That's what that METS score tells me they put down. They gave me 3 because doctor said you can't do much in the yard & I agreed with her & by the way it's the truth. Also agreed that could walk very ittle & shortness of breath etc. Don't know if any of this applies to you but for anyone reading this that METS score (JMHO) is what comes out of your mouth more than anything.
  15. I have luck using TAPS line. & leaving MSG. Of course I have outstanding PCP!
  16. Teac-that's my question. She would be your exception treated for what she was S/ C for during her stay. But when I read 2011 version it seems to leave out that exception.. Also if it changed 7-1-11 & she was there March April 2011 wouldn't she still be awarded temp 100%?
  17. Was in program for PTSD more than two months. She has 90% S/C think 70% of it Anxiety. Pending TDIU..already has Ssd.
  18. Have vet friend that was in VA hospital in March-April 2011 for PTSD. She is S/C for Anxiety. Applied for the 21 days in hospital & she was turned down because she was admitted for PTSD and not anxiety. I was going to copy 38CFR CH.1 4.29 and pass it along to her. I have 7-1-11 Edition & I'm having a problem. Before it read something like "be admitted for what you are S/C for or TREATED FOR WHAT YOU ARE S/C FOR". Now reading different "total disability rating (100 percent) assigned...it is established that s/c disability has required hospital treatment..in excess of 21 days." Question has this rule changed to drop the part about "treated for what you are s/c"? If it changed was she in hospital before it changed? Just passing along to help this vet..and never know why she didn't get connected for PTSD..but that's another thing. Thanks, Don
  19. JMHO-If they granted everyone with CPAP 50% the VA would have to close down.
  20. Play hell finding an "Eagle Watermark" on anything I take to anyone. The originals are buried deep in my house. Like you have heard make copies anytime you need apply for bennies. My card expires at death-that's my term & the spouse had five years on her card-I think.
  21. I am 100% TDIU (70%, 30%) pluse 60% IHD, plus 20% risiduals Prostate Cancer and get the SMC "S" Award plus SMC "K"....so after fifty something posts is the question do they also award the SMC "S" for combination that adds up to 60%? Not being a smart ass, just trying to get back to understanding what's going on..and the answer should be they are suppose to take either one 60% or a combination that adds up to 60%..Is that correct?
