  1. Got decision but in letter it was kinda confusing. I went from 60% to 80% effective date last year..does anyone know if there will be back pay? And if or when that would be from the day I recieved award letter? Thanks to anyone that might know.. The letter did not give much info other than what they decided..no details..
  2. Anyone know what a 60%combined current rating and an possible undecided awarded 10% or 30% would be? I understand addition but the rating tables seemed confsing to me? Thanks for any help.
  3. Yep..I filed a claim..your probably right, stresser might be holding thing up. Just thought I would hear something by now. Ill call the iris # soon.. Thanks
  4. My claim has been in for over 10 months, was wondering time from of others with similar claims. I have not heard a word. VA Pyhc Dr dianosed me with ptsd from in-service stressers during visits . Does anyone know if they can make a decision from this or have to have C and P exam? Thanks for any input.
  5. Hello, my father had an Agent Orange claim in the works but recently died before decision of believed complication from this. My question is this, If decided will any compensation go to children or would it go to the authority on a will such as the executor to decide or how will this be done. Thanks if anyone knows?
  6. Thanks pigdriver, its been a long road. God bless.
  7. Hello testvet, thought you might know alittle of whats next? I went to a va psyche this week, according to them at the end of our session they told me I meet the criteria for ptsd, anxiety, depression from service and possible childhood trauma. I filed a claim, my question is do i go for a c and p or will they go with what the va doctor says?The regional rep said they put it on a fast claim thing, I should fill out some paper work and send back? On meds and have sessions they have scheduled me for months now.. Thanks for any input. quote name='Testvet' timestamp='1301885961' post='240636'] it sounds like your primary care doc is referring you to mental health and they will be the ones to determine if you have PTSD or not, it is not normally done in one visit I spent 4 months in the PTSD determination team taking tests and doing interviews with shrinks and PHDs and the resident did several of those computer type tests before they made the diagnosis of PTSD only then did I file the claim with the Regional office some will say file the claim and by the time the C&P gets scheduled you will have your diagnosis
  8. Oh, Yes this is the just my VA doctor and no I have not filed a claim. Currently I am sc for airborne injuries in military. I took this test on the myvet web site because of so much of the things I have dealt with for years and it referred me to contact my doctor for further eval. I never knew about this PTSD until the recent exposure of more vets coming out with problems from war. Gues Ill wait and see what my eval says, not sure about claim? Thank you!!
  9. Hello, My VA doctor is scheduling me a ptsd psych evaluation soon, does anyone one know if this is I would be rated for ptsd if I have it during this eval?
  10. Hello, I have 2 kids, both living with me going to college. Question is if my son decides to quit college and go into military do I report the month he moves out? Or if my daughter moves out also same question. And if there is an over payment do I send that back or how is that calculated.
  11. Trying to decide if I should send the letter NOD back on two denied claims. Does anyone know if this would effect my current awarded SC claims and bring those claims back to the start again?? Really not sure, Denied claims stated not enough new material evidence so I thought I would get that I believe within 1 year time frame according to letter. One of my denied claims was my neck which is in pain daily along with my back which is more but SC, anytime I would go to the doctor the Meds for my back helped my neck but I guess the VA did not see it that way. My neck was injured also recorded in service during airborne ops. All new to me!!
  12. I have a question if you know, I was denied on 4 other claims for different injuries. If I sent the letter of disagreement for these and had new evidence for the denied claims within the year deadline would this effect my other claims that were SC in the initial claim. Debating on what I should do, thank you for any input!!
  13. 3 documented left-right ankle sprains, 2 hyper extentions of left/right knee injuries result in knee condition, lower back-strain DDD from injury. Good luck with your decision!
  14. Thank you for the information, that sums it up.Thanks again!!
  15. In my award letter there was a statement made saying "an examination will be scheduled at a future date to evaluate the severity of my service connected DDD l4,l5" I thought that was what the C&P's, other doctors were about? Does anyone know how soon these are scheduled years? months? Or these done periodically and do they effect your rating? If there is already a decision why have they scheduled this? thanks for any input.. Airborne
  16. Yea... was very stressful waiting but glad mostly how things worked out. I am at 60% ,I read it wrong the first time. Several other denials that I received I might pursue later. Thank you, and good luck with yours too!!
  17. Thank God, I received my decision letter today!! Mostly all good news..got increase on my back and 2 other sc injuries also I received during jumps in service. I filed in Nov 2009. So thankful!! This website has been a blessing also the Vet who convinced me to pursue my injuries. currently 50% God Bless!!
  18. Hello, I called the 800 # on the status of my claim, they told me there was a decision. My question is does anyone know how long it might take from the decision date to hear any more information? Thanks!! Airborne all the way
