  1. I received notice from DAV That my claim for PTSD had changed. My NOD was for total & permenant status for my 100% TDUI. Got my decision was ,evaluation of ptsd which is currently 70% disability, is increased to 100% p/t effective to 2005. This was a shock to me to say the least. They did a complete turn around on my claim. I have just gotten a lawyer involved but this happened only weeks after I got him I don't think he is involved yet. My question is I am 100% PTSD t&p and hearing impairment at 40% and tinnitus at 10%, and my hearing is consider profound. Do I qualify for SMC with these conditions. Thanks
  2. In my state of florida there lawyers from detroit here helping veterans in cases with the va. It is called project salute and their services are free. check it out
  3. I got a decision from VA of 80% combined with payments of 100% TDIU but not permanent and total. I can't get medical for my wife under chamv and they scheduled me for a c&p exam in August 2009. I am 70%PTSD, 40% hearing and 10% tinnitus, 80% combined. I don't understand why they think I am going to get better. I have been in counseling since 2004 and take meds for anxiety and depression. They always try messing with your head. Please tell me whats going on. Thanks
  4. A freind has a claim in for Diabetes from exposure from AO and Ptsd from nam. Is the % from ptsd combined whith AO claim or is it added togeather. thanks
  5. Could tell me how I can get my c-file and how to do it.Thanks
  6. I just got my DAV notification my claim was approved. It took right at a month after C&P were done. Good Luck
  7. I went to social security and they said I didn,t qualify because I haven't paid in in the last five quarters, I don't have enough credits.
  8. Whats funny about that date (Aughust 2009) is thats birth month and I will be 62 years old, do you think they want to see if I will get Social Security at that time. fishes
  9. I received my letter from DAV saying my claim was decided and my agent Orange claim was denied, but total rating based on unemployability was granted. I am 80% combined plus entilement to benefits at the 100%rate due for unemployability. It also says a future examination will be scheduled in August 2009. What does mean and am I total and permanent? Should I still fight for the other claims I have out.
  10. Pete I gave the survey to my cousilor, she said it look kinda fishy too, and said it should state what is was to be used for and what it was meant to show. It didn't, I let her have it, but will get back and will try and and get to you. fishes
  11. I received my survey from the Department of Veterans.What a joke. It came with a 5 dollar bill in cash papered clipped to the survey with instructions I could keep this money even if I didn't fill it out. It is a survey that asks me to check boxes in response to their cleverly crafted questions and has no place where I can't add my input in a statement made by me. If they really want to know what I think why not let me tell like it is. The Doctor running this says she has treated Vertans for PTSD for 15 years, my question is if she has done this that long what questions are left to answer. It says 13,000 veterans are getting this survey and in six months another survey will be sent and another $5.00 will be sent. $130,000 dollars wasted not counting the man hours to do this . Another million dollars study gone to some stupid survey, that money good be better served for treatment to Vets. I hate these people and all they stand for.
  12. Thanks Ricky, they Gave me two C&Ps, one for my Hearing and one for I think for PTSD and TDIU, One done in Jan25 2008 and Hearing on Feb 8, 2008.Still have not heard anything yet. How long would you say it will take. Thanks again for your help
  13. Could someone clarify something for me? If a case is at the rating board is the case being judged at that point or is it sent to the rating board for determination of the % as the case has already been approved before going there. Thanks
  14. Thanks for your post, I have this sincere wish about the VA, in that I want them to pay for what they have done to me and all veterans that are suffering because of their arrogance, and incompetence. Its all about doing the right thing. We need a way to bring to the light of day all the pain they have caused to countless people and their families. I keep remenbering the Walter Reed incident and that now famous line from General Kiley "I don't do barracks" The reason I asked about this survey they asked me to do, Maybe in a small way it would help make it right, if nothing else take away their excuse of "I didn't Know." have lost all faith in the system and the Government their reality Is not our reality and sadly probably never will be.
