Great info Tbird, thanks. Jmack

Well said Berta, Thank you for all the years that you have been advocating for us. In case no one have told you lately, you are appreciated. I don't post that often but I do visit often and wanted you to no that you "are appreciated. B) Jmack

Skunk I will definitely add you and your wife to my prayers. HE will provide you and her strength and will not fail you, stay as strong as you can and have faith. May GOD bless you and your family. Jmack

Lock them up and throw away the key.

Congratulations to you and God Bless you. I know you deserve it.

Cal, So you didn't get the VA to foot the bill? Or did you think that it was too risky? Would like to know because that AMU sounds good especially if I can work on line. Thanks for the info. Jmack

Well how about that? Good for you...and your husband. Enjoy your blessing and all praises be to HIM. Jmack

Thanks John, not only for your knowledge, but for your concern for a fellow vet. And forgive me if I seem a little on the defense, meds hadn't kicked in yet. I will be careful, you are like me I don't trust any of them so I will procede with caution. Thanks again Jmack

I have had this discussion once before regarding P&T and P&T IU. And I am well aware of what the VA is capable of doing. They ARE the FEDS. I worked before with P&T but had to quit because of my SC disabilities, "my choice" not the concerns of the VA. That is why I applied for, and received ssdi. So my question only concerns the rules of the "ticket to work" from the SSA not the VA. If the VA denies me when I apply for educational benefits I won't lose it, and that my friend is the only thing that I intend on discussing with the Veterans Administration, "ed benefits not returning to work". Jmack

The mental condition is 50% of my 100p/t. I am asking about social security, if there is anyone attending school or using their ticket to work. Again I am p/t not tdiu. I hope that I am making sense. Thanks, Jmack

[quote name=cowgirl' date='Sep 22 2008, 06:25 PM' post='107158] Hi, not sure if this sounds ok, but 'Have you requested your VA records?' or compensation file? Service Medical Records or any other data the VA has on you?' Do you need guidance as to where to go? or how to get a copy of your files? Here to help, CG I have all files except my SSA files. That's what I'm trying to get. Is there a certain procedure or something? Thanks Jmack

I am 100p/t and receiving ssdi, been out of work for about 18 months. Am I dreaming to think maybe I could handle taking some college courses to actually feel like I have a purpose? I must admit that I feel a bit of anxiety coming on just thinking of it. But I would like to try. One of my SC disabilities is MDD. Jmack

Is there anyone here that's receiving ssdi and 100% p/t working? Have anyone even attended school? I received a ticket to work and was wondering if anyone else had participated or tried this. Jmack

Does anyone know if you can request a copy of all ssdi files which shows all the documents, i.e; decisions, denials, approvals, etc, etc. Something similar to the C-File that you can get from the VA. Thanks. Jmack

Congrats Googy B) Jmack

JC, It doesn't matter who does the surgery the VA will automatically give you a temporary rating of 100% for 1 year. All you need to do is get the discharge papers and any other records showing that it was done. If you have a rep, take it to him/her and they will submit the claim. If no rep, submit it yourself. The EED of benefits will be the day of surgery. The new knee is great but the Physical Therapy was a nightmare. Good luck and hope this helps. Jmack

Good deal Jim Mac congrats. Jmack

good for you!!!!!!!!!! Jmack ;) :) ;)

I wish that you will receive, finally, your just due, Josephine. Good luck and may GOD bless ya. Jmack

I agree with all the rest. Go for it, and good luck. Jmack :)

That is an excellent medical eval. I wish you all the success in the world with this. You truly deserve it. :) Jmack

Whichever VSO that you choose, make sure that HADIT is the main ingredient, this site has the best recipe around for success. :) Jmack

Maybe the VAMC have not realized that knowledge is nothing unless it's shared. :) Jmack
