Bill (hr 1) Bailout Bill

Bill (hr 1) Bailout Bill
Bound4heaven posted a question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
Greetings, Came accross this, and thought it needed to be posted. I am particularly concerned about sections 13101 through 13434 of the new bailout bill (HR 1). These sections would set up the infrastructure to computerize the medical records of ALL AMERICANS in a government-coordinated database, including psychiatric records. It is scary enough that a government bureaucrat is directed by statute to try to influence my doctor's decisions with respect to my medical care. But of even greater concern to gun owners is the fact that a government-coordinated database will now contain all records of government-provided and private psychiatric treatment. Last year's "NICS Improvement Act" codified ATF's attempts to make a person a prohibited person on the basis of a government psychiatrist's finding that he is a "danger" -- without a finding by any court. Well, roughly 150,000 battle-scarred veterans have already been unfairly stripped of their gun rights by the government. Now, this new government-coordinated database threatens the gun rights of people who, as kids, were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Disorder... seniors with Alzheimer's... police with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder... and many other law-abiding Americans.

Received Letter From Different Ro
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Purple, I got a letter today from my local RO on this issue. They told me the letter I received from the other RO was wrong and apoligised. The letter they sent, "said I was 100% T&P and there were "No Future Exams" and the review in 2013 was a dependent review. I guess they review your dependents every so many years to make sure you are not receiving monies if they have moved out or ect. Thank you again & God bless. Bound4Heaven -

Received Letter From Different Ro
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Greetings, I just sent a copy of my 2003 award letter stating "No Future exams" and a copy of the letter I just received. I sent them both to my local RO for clairfication. HoweverPurple is right in the 10 years exam for IU. However I am not IU. So we will see what the VA says. Thank you and God bless. Bound4Heaven -
Received Letter From Different Ro
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Purple, I made a mistake here. I was awarded 100 IU P&T on 2003. So the 10 year would make since if I was IU. However I am 100% Scheduler +SMC. It sounds like they have not updated their records at least in my claim. Do you al feel that would be accurate? Thank you. God bless. Bound4Heaven -
Received Letter From Different Ro
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Purple, Thank you for your response. I was awarded 100% IU back in 2002 on that award letter it stated "No future exams" and then granted me chapter 35. In 2006 I asked for an increase on 3 of my disabilities and was granted loss of use of bi-feet and they granted all requests. My total rating at that time was over 180% and they granted me SMC, housing grant and car grant. They changed my rating from 100% IU to 100% sceduler. I just spoke to a RO service rep via the 1-800 number. They were clueless, and told me to send a copy of the award that says "No future exams" with my letter I just got to my local RO. I have never been to South Carolina. Thank you. God bless. Bound4Heaven -
Received Letter From Different Ro
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Greetings, How would I go about getting it squared away. Would I contact my RO directly? Thank you. God bless. Bound4Heaven -
Greetings, I contacted the 1-800 number and asked to be sent a letter stating my current rating to use exchanges. I am currently rated at 100% T & P SC + SMC. I don't get any more letters from the RO asking if I am working when I was 100% due to IU. I get a letter back from an RO in a different state stating that I am 100% , but this letter also said that I was to have a re-exam in October 2013. I contacted the 1-800 number again and I got a different RO and that rep told me to make a copy of the letter and send to my local RO. My last award letter said no future exams. I have heard from here on hadit that no future exams really doesn't mean that, and have read that many were given re-exams within a year or so. Do you all think this is a type error? and if they were going to re-exam me why would they wait until 2013? The VA never seems to amaze me. Thank you and God bless you all. Bound4Heaven

ptsd Question On Ssd While 100%
Bound4heaven replied to Joe Keller's question in Social Security Disability Questions
Greetings, I would highly advise you to see an SSD attorney. I use Allsup www.Allsup.com I am as well rated 100%. When I filed myself for SSD I got turned down and I appealed. It was then I used them. I was approved without going to a hearing. They were great. It took my case about 6 months and I had a backdate of 2 years. They charged me $4,200.00 which is what the goverment says they can only charge. Hope this helps. God bless. Bound4Heaven -

Va Payment Center In Austin, Tx
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Dear Wings, I just got off the phone with the director. She was so nice and effficient. She said she I was her main priority today (Because of amount of payment). She informed mr she would be calling my local RO and find out why they did not submit the correct paperwork to her facility and why a disabled veteran needed to call her in order to get the ball rolling and to personally hold the person who told me that payment had been sent out 2 weeks ago personally responsible. Isn't that something? In all my years dealing with the VA I have never been treated with such respect, and I wasn't talked down too for bringing this issue to light. God bless you all. Bound4Heaven -

Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Greetings to all, Thank you all for your help and concern. Wings the e-mail address you gave me was spot on. I e-mail them last night and went over my issues. It has been my expirence when you e-mail a VA facility the chances you will recieve a response is almost none. However in my case that did not happen!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I received an e-mail from the director of the financial services who works for the VA and was informed he would be calling me today to handle this issue personally. I thank God, and I appriciate your help. God bless. Bound4Heaven -

Va Payment Center In Austin, Tx
Bound4heaven replied to Bound4heaven's question in VA Disability Claims Research
Wings, No. I am trying to varify that a payment was made in regards to an award. My Varo who cannot give me any help with this, told me that payment was sent out 2 weeks ago and it still has not been recieved, and that it came out of Austin TX. So I thought I would contact them to varify payment. I have searched and searched for any number of this facility, but I can find is an address. Thank you for your response. God bless. Bound4Heaven -
