Memory failed ,lost records at home if you need your employment records from about ten or twelve years back how do you get them . Who do you contact ? Havent worked in over ten years and cant remember or find my records from then.

thanks bronc

Ok here are the exact words "due to his history and present condition of depression he is not a candidate for treatment at this time" The point i am trying to get across is when i got my denial letter they said " not a candidate for treatment " and left out the reason why trying to minimize the extent of my illness. On the tests i got back said strong results for hep c. ,something to that effect. was going to get the shots of interferon and after talking to doc about the mental health aspects of it they would not give me the shots. And i do not see why this would not help my bipolar claim for an increase.

10-4 i have had the ro call my house while i had a claim pending. I was glad to hear from the guy to tell you the truth.

I wanted some opinions from this site. I will research nod ,and have used it before ,but it takes a long time to get an answer thankyou.

will do thanks

when i applied for sc hep c they in my denial they tried to minimize it by saying i was not a candidate for treatment as it was not serious enough right now. i was sitting in front of the nurse fixing to start treatment and she had the needle out and was going to start treatment and we discussed mental health. when she found out about my mental health status she said we better wait and my wife also was concerned. so they left out that part about why i could not take the treatment,the crooks. they in my denial left out the part saying i was not a candidate for treatment for mental health reasons all they said was not a candidate for treatment as it had not progressed enough for treatment. they were leading to believe treatment was not available because it was not serious enough which is a lie.

yes the doc said was not a candidate for treatment due to mental complications

Ok i am sc for bipolar disorder and have been suicidal ,been recently hospitalized. I also hep. c positive. In the past i discussed getting the inteferon treatment,but after talking to the doctors they decided i was not a candidate for treatment due to my mental status,as the treatment has severe side effects mentally. I put a claim in for hep. c and on my decision they said the docs said i was not a candidate for treatment ,leaving out the fact that it was due to my mental illness,wonder why? So what i am saying is i dont see why since i cannot take the treatment due to my service connected illness and hep c is getting worse hep.c can be secondary in my case. I know i got this s--t in vietnam i just do not know how ,without it was because i had a lot of drugheads around. At that time i did not know what a marijuana cigarette was. Did not use drugs at all. WHAT I AM SAYING IS IF I COULD GET THE DAMN TREATMENT I WOULD PROBABLY FEEL BETTER ,BUT I CANT DUE TO MY MENTAL CONDITION,I HATE THE B------S !

Wow, all those features will make a lot of difference with me,it will help me a lot keeping up with my meds. Sure would be nice if you could review your doctors reports . I can't wait to sign the dotted line now. Just to be safe i am going to watch the movie again and it is not just because bo derek is on it :o

That is all i needed to hear,i thought it might be a good thing. I did watch the video !

Country is broke,we are going to be lucky to keep what we got.

I have just signed on to myhealthevets online where you can view your prescription status and a whole lot more. I just signed on and have to go in person to sign up for more info that i can get online. Seems to be very secure. Anybody know of any drawbacks to this online feature for vets ?

Well there is nothing wrong with a nice molded bathroom .

Well got the iris about who was representing me on my appeal though the law firm i had before is listed they are not repping me as far as i know. I only used them one time and claim was decided before they could do anything , they are a good firm as they said i did not owe them anything. So on the iris they sent me the download for the form 21-22 power of atty . So i guess my claim has been up there months and months with no representatin. Good thing i checked about this i guess. Now to figure out who to get to represent me.

ok thanks , i really want to get some one who will stick with me all the way through.

I am contemplating filing a claim for increase,and when i filed for increase before i had a lady from state who is with american legion who really seems like a dedicated person. She is suggesting i have american legion rep me in case of an appeal i would be represented nationally. I cant say enough good things about this lady,she always answers my emails and seems to know what she is doing. I am thinking of taking her up on her offer to let the legion represent me. The main thing, i would like for her to be the one representing me.

Great ,i needed to know that thanks.

Well i sent an iris to find out as i have an appeal going on and the state is supposed to be reping me on it.

wow! i was born in 1947, good luck !!!!!

I contacted a lady at state veterans affairs who represented me the last time i filed for an increase. I asked her if she would represent me for my possible claim for increase. When she represented me before i became impatient and hired legal help for veterans. However no sooner than i hired them my claim was approved and they said i did not owe them anything and what i was approved for they said was their goal also. So i figured my relationship with legal help for vets was over and from what the lady told me there they were happy for me ,no harm done. So when i contact the state lady she says she cannot represent me as she looked on the computer and says i still have a private atty and needs a letter from them saying they no longer represent me. I have an appeal in about my eed and the letter from va says the state vet affairs is representing me on that, what gives? I emailed the lawyer and told them ,but i think the lady at state is wrong the new claim for an increase ,i cannot have a private atty any way at the ro level. man glad i am looking into all this before i file for an increase.

Tell me about it, i was scheduled for an ultrasound ,one person got sick .cancelled. I made a useless trip to memphis and now i am having to go to a private facility up there this saturday. I am not too mad about it ,but sure hate to make two trips ,and i better get that travel pay.

Yes please send me the link. i have a friend that will look at my records and give me some advice. I want to have all my ducks in a row when i file.

You got me thinking ,why not ? I have been in and out of mental institutions since 1970 ,was hospitalized in vietnam .

My wife is my payee for my social security retirement . I was on ssi ,and i am planning on asking for an increase from 50% to 80%. The last time i got my increase the c&p examiner seemed to question my competency and after asking my wife a few questions let me have control of my check. If i ask and get increase and they want a fiduciary what are the drawbacks and i wouldnt mind my wife having control.
