Thank You Broncovet!! ill be working on that, we’re praying that I’ll get my TDIU also. May Gods blessings fill your your everyday dennis

How would you estimate your backpay for a 30 month 50% back pay award? I was at 60% at time of claim but know im at 90% by skin of my teeth. I’m looking for a rough amount to know if we can start remodeling our mold infested bathroom thanks

Yes social security disability (SSD) I’ve been paying into this for 40 years. and my wife says it’s past time to file because she doesn’t want to have a limp vegetable to push around in a wheel chair

I’m currently 90% VA disabled but I have other issues that are not service connected. Basically from my waste down is service connected and my upper body is not. I’m have a SCD nerve stimulator implanted into my lumbar, post recovery the neurosurgeon said he would evaluate my neck, non service connected, for a second implant stimulator. I’m 53 is it time ?

We came to Tennessee, Gatlinburg and pigeon Forge to get away and we asked a couple places about military/veteran discounts everyplace we’ve been to so far had some sort of a discount Ripleys aquarium gave us the best discount at 50% for myself 30% for all members living in the household. Every restaurant we’ve come to another attractions had some sort of discount. The Hatfields and McCoy show dinner theater was awesome and they substantial discount also. Its great to know an area loves the military and those that have served

I believe that Alpha-Stim is sometimes helpful some but its not for everyone!! I have one and if I had nothing else to do it might work better but 30-60 minutes PER area od treatment and then 20-30 minutes for ears is not worth it to me.

only because this post has both 8521 & 8522. Can you be rated for 8520, 8521, 8522, 8523, 8524 and 8525 and bilateral factor for some or all? My NEXUS only has 8520 @ 60% but i reading EMG I'm seeing that there are also other ratings that it seem like I should be rated foursome or all of them. thanks

Is there a correct way to request to change VA facilities because you have a been abused neglected and lack of care and still receive mileage for driving the longer distance?

Can you get SMC R for ED if your not 100% ?

How can you change facilities without moving? Or how can you become permanently Choiced out to the community?

Hey televisions does anybody know if Sherman Howard is on this blog I would like to get in contact with them and talk about My VA medical center

RHMC C&P exam area has moved. If anyone is going there and has trouble walking or breathing request a wheelchair. You have to go through the building then OUTSIDE down and a round a railed walkway then back in a building. Also the waiting area is about 78-80 degrees. A healthy person can probably walk it in 10 minutes. Also transporation leaves at 1500 sharp, if possible bring a driver so they can drop you off at door and pray they can find a parking spot before you done.

Yes, I know it’s a hassle for private providers to get paid. I helped one get paid that told me he could not afford to do Vets any more.

I know the VA is using chiropractic care for treatment! Awesome!! But does anyone know if we can get massage therapy to complement chiropractic care? Also can I get a 12v heating pad for my vehicle to relieve me back pain/injury?

So the local VA facility is not responding to the local senators request. The sender’s representative says she’s turning it over to her director who will contact the facilities director directly. What else can I do to get relief and treatment? I’ve been trying to get care since early May 2018 Also how big of a Redmark will I end up with on my file?

It was part of Navy records. I seen it the records other day the actual navy podiatrist that made my orthotics in service at Naval Hospital Okinawa Japan

Here’s a page out of the exam

I was reviewing my feet C&P exam and I was made and discharged 7/03/1991 with orthotics so I feel that that rating should’ve been effective date of discharge. The problem is I did not know that I was eligible for benefits until 2014 and that’s when I filed. Also I am service-connected for my lumbar, on that same C&P exam it shows the CT exam I had bulging disc‘s L3 through S1 in service and then I had surgery in 1999 and that was the connecting factor to the service connection for the lumbar spine so I feel that that should’ve been service connected to date of back surgery if not date of discharge because the condition already existed.

Yes I agree find out if your new machine have apps and install it so you can keep track for your self. Yes do not skip a night

Thank you Berta!

How can I go about “blowing the whistle and getting external review done of my VA hospital? I heard on the earlier podcast Sherman Howard said that if you call the presidential hotline all they do is call the facility and tell them your complaint so they can white wash it themselves. Any other suggestions?

Thank you Broncovet!!

I also ask my patient advocate if they could access the document that I submitted and they said they are not authorized to. So how can you advocate do anything for you if they can’t see what you want corrected

Has anybody had situations where they have done a formal records request to have a correction placed? I recently did this in the privacy officer said that the correction is submitted to the provider and they do not know what happens to it after it is given to the provider to review. I asked if there was like a medical review from an external source or internal medical review board and the privacy officer did not know. Excuse me but if you’re claiming there is a wrong entry I think somebody besides the provider should be reviewing this especially when it’s totally wrong and fraudulent
