General Compensation Question
PEACHES1962 replied to PEACHES1962's question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
Thanks guys for both points of views and the information you both provided is great. If it ends up being denied that is alright too. Also, I don't need to me TDIU as I am already 100% P&T and employed. But again I do appreciate both you guys input and as usual this site is very informative. Thanks -

Thank you both for your answers. I am being treated for both, however I never applied for R/A. Thanks again -

I am really excited and surprised to learn that I finally reached my 100% P&T SMC from the VA. I just wanted to express my appreciation to this website reading about others success and not giving up. I was truthful with my disabilities to my C&P examiners and when I doubted my issues would not be looked at seriously I found that they were. I often think about how I wish I would have done this years ago. I know back then that I did not understand the system and that all I needed were my medical records (enlisted and VA) along with understanding how my illnesses/issues were connected. I

Fibromyalgia Secondary to PTSD/MST
PEACHES1962 replied to MGarcia1's question in MST - Military Sexual Trauma
If you still interested here is a link to claiming fibromyalgia. https://cck-law.com/blog/fibromyalgia-and-va-disability-compensation/ I entered a claim for fibromyalgia last year based on being diagnosed by my Rheumatologist. I was approved even though it was not listed in my service records. This website should also assist you too. https://www.publichealth.va.gov/exposures/gulfwar/fibromyalgia.asp Also, the fibromyalgia was not a secondary condition. -
PTSD For MST Claim Finally Approved
PEACHES1962 replied to flow1972's question in MST - Military Sexual Trauma
Congratulations on your win but never forget to continue your therapy. It took me a very long time to provide the details to my PTSD(MST) and it is still hard. I have gone through and continue to go through therapy. Nobody knows how hard it is to go through a C&P for this type of claim but once you do it is so gratifying when you finally receive compensation. -
Years ago I would not consider restarting the task of executing my VA claims. I found that I had to prove myself to the VA which in turn infuriated me. However, after years of denying myself what I had earned for my service to our country I finally restarted everything in 2018. To date I have a 90% rating and am working on my 100%. At this time I am not attempting to claim unemployable as I still want to work and I love my job. A good friend and fellow female soldier encouraged me not to give up fighting and I eventually restarted and haven't quit yet. I never thought I would get my rating u

Thank you so much GBArmy. I was just surprised to see that it was added. It confused me as to why this would happen. I asked a veteran at work and he stated the same as you did. I will continue to think positive. -

General Compensation Question
PEACHES1962 replied to PEACHES1962's question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
I really appreciate your advise, but I have requested (MH) those records too. One hospital was a civilian one and they have since closed and destroyed records (I was in there in 1994). One of the hospitals was military but I was not in at the time ( I was married to an enlisted soldier). That was in 1985-86 ( I it wouldn't hurt to contact them and see what they say). Thank you GBArmy for the idea.
