  1. PTSD rating is 70% and I was just informed when I went in on a claim for the Restless legs that I had been granted Sleep Apnea for 50% since I do use a Cpap machine. However, they never informed me by letter it was just a check and retro funds appeared in my checking account and the increase overall. My confusion is if am rated for the RLS where or under what section of Title 38 do they determine the rating(s)? What is the norm rating? I have restless legs every evening and take pills ever single night or I can't sleep. I have read many confusing postings of area's in Title 38 that don't appear correct. It seems like the Veteran's claims workers are all over the place when it comes to determinations and the telephone call sites are guys whom don't give any valid information and are more in the dark reading their computer screens than they were 5 years ago. It's like being in the zoo and the care taker's don't have a clue what they are doing. PTSD rating's are really confusing when you talk to these weird doctors hired to check if we are loonies and then they act like they know you can or can't get a rating when they are the most unqualified as to what is ratable and what are the latest medical advance's in RLS and Sleep Apnea associated with PTSD. I even had one PhD say no one is 100% depressed for PTSD? My remark to him is that it's a combination of afflictions which makes are lives more difficult not just depression...angre and hypertention and just over the top hyper when things go wrong, etc.
  2. I am 90% disabled of which 70% PTSD, 40% tendons, 10% tinnitus. What are my chances for TDIU since I have not worked since Oct. 17, 2008? :P I left on retirement pay as I could not make it to work 40% of the time and submitted a statement signed of my absence of such and a copy of the Federal Medical Leave Act participant at work and as signed by my doctor I had indefinite medical problems.

  3. He's not saying your a fraud nor any Vet. It's the processing person's whom he makes the accusation to. Veteran's claims people have been recently caught at changing received dates on claims to appear more timing for their reporting standards. They feel the heat and cheat us from retro payment amounts in doing so thou. Its the system which hurts us when they don't add staff to process our claims timely and some dead head federal employees whom don't put in their fair share of 8 hours of work. I got a check for $3,125 on April 6 a Monday...its April 9 and still no explaination in the mail...I have no idea why or for what this is? Can assume its a past date change infraction as a Interanl Audit of the Veteran's claims people or management review found large numbers of fraud in the NYC offices of date changing and over 700 unanswered mail.
  4. Is their a way to get 86'd because you call once a week after they tell you you are in "Read for Decision" and they just sit on your claim---vindictive claims Rep's? I called a Vet Rep at the Fresno, Ca Vet Hospital named Tony. Tony said not to call the toll-free number and he would not take a POA as he said the Vet Claim person will throw my claim in a stack and do nothing as he has seen the stack. My claim was “read for decision” on June 18, 2008. I call each week or two weeks and get wait 30 days…then it is a 45 day wait…should be ready 60 days from June 18, 2008. Then I called the toll-free line on August 19, 2008 and she says wait 30 more days. How long does this take? I have multiple issues, PTSD upgrade, sleep Apnea, Restless legs,…and I filed Dec. 31, 2008 but it is ready to go as it made the “read for Decison on June 18, 2008…and I wait. Anybody know if the toll-free calls to a telephone person makes a difference and the Claims Rep. is told how often I call? I have stopped calls or will because of what Tony said but I fear I have been placed in the 86 file for “whenever they want”. Also, Tony said they sometimes hold claims appealed in a file and wait two years without ever sending them to Washington, D.C. That way it stagnants and you lose as you don’t really know what they do to an appeal claim? True or not?
