  1. What is a DRO Review?
  2. Well, I received my letter from the VA today. My increase was awarded from 10% to 20% (nowhere near what I was expecting). I really can't stand VA math. I have almost no ROM on my right side, but since my left side is hardly crippled, and my forward and backward are only slightly crippled, it averaged out to 24.9%. Oh well, I guess having to walk with a limp since I was 19 is only work 10% for the first 10 years... and 20% from here on out... Guess I shouldn't complain since I filed on 18 Feb and had my C&P exam on 5 Mar. Seems kind of quick to me!
  3. Yeah, got my first today. I filed back in Feb. I'm gonna guess that I receive one or two more before they award my claim. Good to know our tax dollars are funding the bailout so VA can print more letters!
  4. That rocks!!! Congratulations!!! Still hanging on for my success story!
  5. It seems to happen a lot these days. I was blindsided as well. I guess I lucked out that she made more money than me, then got hooked on drugs, quit her job, and can't hold a job to save her life now. I got the kids, the house, both cars, and I get to keep my money. But yeah, it is never easy when you have many years invested in something and it is taken from you. Hang in there! We're all here for you!
  6. I have my shot coming up on Tuesday. They are not bad at all. I hardly feel anything when they do it. The part that gets me is that they keep me waiting almost 2 hours before the Dr comes back there to do it. It's not bad, but like the others say, it doesn't help everyone. The shot actually goes next to injured disc. It is supposed to relieve any inflamation in the immediate area. If you have nerve problems, you probably won't notice a difference afterwards. My PCP is having me run the gauntlet of all possible treatments for my back to satisfy my insurance company...
