I take 2 to 3 a day here in TN=VA Nashville Pete and I have been on them for years. I go in to see my new Doc and she talking like she has to take me off of them, this was a few months back. She even pulls out the paper that looked to be some type new regulation updated from the "top" to follow and it clearly stated what you guys are sayin here. It said for sure to only use Xanax as a "TEMP" use only and is not to be priscribed for long term use....yoggie

The funny part about this is your child/children will receive a SSA check as well (assuming you totally Disabled), My EX tried to hide this payment hoping to double dip till she was caught and didn't even show up at court. What others say is true to some existent. They (FL) will try to make you pay more ALWAYS, Florida is the worst I ever seen, it makes for another great revenue gathering campaign as well! Suspended DL's , fines , court cost, late fee's and Jail..the truth is you will be guiltted in to poverty if you let them. Florida I read has ramped up efforts to collect back fee's that had long been forgotten as far back as 10 years . A buddy of mines wife was arrested on a fee from a case that was thrown out 7 years ago. Sheriffs approached his house in paramilitary swat gear and riot shotguns drawn, boots and all, because a warrant was issued on a $35 court cost she had no idea existed and they stood and watched her get dressed and took her off to jail for ten days and said that she could no longer be arrested for the fee if she chose no to pay it, it would now just go on her credit. little off topic sorry, just to show ya FL aint playing around. Get you the kind of Lawyer you need cause you don't want this kinda stuff following you around. Larryj is right though they(FL) will use everything you got to take all the SSA max they can take. The up side the will look at the mom as she has a full time job whether she has one or not to limit the bleeding....yog

Well Brother some aren't going to like this post or the answer to it. The ANSWER is NO but the child in question is entitled to the bene's you receive on the child's behalf. if your 100% I think its 80 or 90 bucks. I myself just went through this little under 2 years ago, VA Disability can not be attached by anyone. How ever worse case scenario if you wife leaves or vice versa she will get no more than than half you SSA and the childs check from SSA PERIOD. I to am from Florida and I no how they work and they work to screw the father period. Everyone you will not be sympathetic to you because there first thought is you a dead beat DAD, you are not you are disabled and don't want to be left homeless and broke and FL will do that if you do not fight back. You give what your supposed to and no ore because at the end of the day you will be giving a lot. I currently give 600+ for one child you are not entitled to share your VA disability with others only SSA with your children. Get you a lawyer and you will find out what I say is trueand put that "your just trying to get over" crap out of your head that is what others are thinking. If she gets it its because you gave it to them or did nothing to protect your self. Not my business I suggest you guys work it out if possible...... Good luck hope this helps No State or local Gov can attach VA Bene's period. Been there say that got the tee shirt! Hope this helps.. Yogg

man I say its been years 4 or maybe 5...yoggie

Certainly have and I have PTSD... I constantly worry to the change that being injured and mental stresses can break you down but hang in there you will get an upswing and you'll feel a little better.. Good luck..Yogg..

I see it this way, I my self put in a request and it took 8 months to a year. It was after this time I wrote to my Congressman and I received it in 30 to 45 days of receipt later and a letter from my Congressman 3 days after my C-file arrived. Sometimes its better to go hard on the second try.. Good Luck My friend.....Yog

I can sure sympathize with you pete53 My wife and I just buried her 54y father on the 10th. We just was with them for the Holly days and waited till we were gone back home...Yog

Michellee, also prepare your self for the probability of rejection, for this is the worse cut of them all.. I to had an exam that went well and got rejected and appealed the decision and they (SSA) sent me right back to the Doctor and he did the same exam a looked at me and said "I can't believe they sent you back here" and also stated that he could only do so much and assured he it was SSA screwing with me... I am not trying to bring you down but unless you dying SSA is tuff. I know thing can look solid and others here know my own claim they will find ridicules ways to deny a claim the kill you inside when you read there decisions, I did win a bench decision 2 1/2 years later but SSA made sure they drug through it before hand..Good Luck.......Yogg

John999, and the others are correct here. You need to get your doctors to connect these conditions and when you get that you need another to do the same that you've seen.. surgeon ect... one might not be enough to persuade them but take this time to mount an attack of there defense and you can win this thing this is what they (VA) do. They put it in a way there is no hope or sounds that way... I was denied across the board and the VA made my denial sound as if I was lucky to keep the 40% I already had. Go with the DRO Hearing put a "face to the case" and hit them with the evidence... and lots of it, not just junk but the facts and very credible sources....good luck..Yogg

Nothing to you basser but I made some of the comments I see on here today and my post was deleted? My point is this is without doubt to me a terrorist act and being framed and chalked up in most media and prez as a common lunatic just snapping if this was so I say again why didn't he do this in his masque? Now this will be tried in a Court Marshall as a common criminal and save the government millions, but the others with be treated for the rest of there lives.. I just couldn't imagine this happening in the very place your supposed to feel the safest and they and us are supposed to believe this was just a random act. right , I really hurt for these people no matter how it works out and to think this guy was proscribing meds to these guys too really bothers me just as much..yoggie

Thanks guys I been looking for this... yoggie

Very true statement, I had posted a VA Doctor training film here once that conceded this. The Dr's were going through training stating to treat the vet as if they were there for "monitory gain or lying"...yog

If you are already service connected it will be looked upon as a worsening condition if you are already rated for it, that is before the accident. This is what happen to me but you must show a continuity of treatment before the accident. If you are trying to SC because you have medical records that show your injuries were originally injured in service you will have an up hill battle. make sure they have your medical records if its the ladder of the two.
