Wow - Oh - Wow !
Got the verbal word today from RO that hubby received P&T rather than IU !
RO also confirmed that request for increase on one issue was increased from 60% to 100%
and the AO issue requests for increase along with the IHD is ready to rate.
Bank deposit today confirmed retro compensation for the 100% and according to my calculations,
there is an SMC in there.
Have not received the written decision yet .... it's probably in the mail.
Still have a few loose issue pertaining to AO but our almost to the day 8 year roller coaster ride is
almost over and we will have the opportunity to finally live our lives and enjoy each day we are blessed with.

Thanks CHR49 .....
This has been an 8 year long journey since the initial date he filed his original claim.
The last date he worked was a sad day that has been completely erased with todays news.

Thank for you all of the kind words .... YES, this is a HUGE relief .... We are still in shock. His original claim was in 2003. Rec'd sc for 1 issue in 2008, then a BVA decision granting the remaining issue
came in late this summer and he is also part of the Nehmer heart disease action -- that part of his claim is still in development. So there is still work being done but ....
for now ...... it's a huger than HUGE relief and I thank all of you who offered your encouragement and kindness and there were some very rocky roads as well.
Happy Holidays and wishing everyone a blessed and healthy 2011 ...

Received the unofficial word yesterday that my husband is now 100%, not yet sure if it's TDIU or P&T .... filed for IU but his conditions will only get worse and we had
a statement from his doctor stating such. He hasn't been able to work due to sc conditions for the past 5 years ...... not sure yet if they are going back the 5 years
for effective date (they should) or ... what. We'll probably hear details next week.
Either way, it's a HUGE relief ... we can move forward from here. There is enough on our plate for now, it's still full but the cracks are mended.
Thank you for all of the support and hand-holding, life rings, ladders ..... Thank you Hadit.

Very positive news --- very, very good ....!
-
Well said Lonewolf and no truer words spoken.
If you need a ladder, and believe me .... I have needed many, this is the place to find the encouragement to keep moving one foot ahead of the other.
Thank you for your Service Veteran. Continue to stay positive and proud as you are.

Lonewolf ....
Will be sending out those positive vibes for a favorable decision.
I read your post this morning and I've been thinking about you all day,
You are not alone, not here. These are a fine group of folks here.

We got the word this morning that my husbands claim for TDIU was approved.
I was hesitant for a few hours to post the update as there are so many who are still waiting to hear something but,
I thought this positive piece of news would offer continued hope to those who are still waiting. It appears there have
been alot of positive decisions lately, which is very encouraging.

Is IU considered a new claim in itself or as a reopening of the original claim that compensation was granted for ?
Thanks,
VetsLady

Yippee ---- Yeah ------- Hoorah------- WTG !
Big Relief I'm sure, I felt your emotion leap off the screen ... !!!!!!

autumn ....
Bittersweet victory for you, one my husband and I understand all too well.
Your perserverance paid off .... good for you to take charge and get what you needed to get your sc.
It shouldn't work that way, VA should be listening to every Veteran and awarding the benefits and compensation
that is rightfully theirs. We felt the same way when my husband was finally sc after an almost 8 year battle.
I stand up and applaud you on your "sweet victory" autumn !

I wondered the same thing too Delta. Shouldn't it have been inferred when veteran reached 70%? Shouldn't the veteran have a case for retro back to eligible date?
-
Is this veteran receiving SSDI because of service connected disabilities? Is he unemployable because of service connecred disabilities? If he is unmployable because of service connected disabilities, he needs to fill out an application for unemployability. He would be eligible because he is rated 70%. This would result in him being paid at 100% rate if he wins. His social security medical records can be submitted in support of a pending claim.
Thank you for your response.
-
Big Yippeeeee- Hooray !
Its stories like yours that make the success that much sweeter.
Be well .....
-
OH MY GOODNESS ............
FINALLY - A NEW RATING IS KNOWN ...... We are overjoyed at the decision and have much to share to help others, but
tonight we feel justice has finally prevailed.
Using the word "win" somehow doesn't feel right .... after, 8 long arduous years of being in this process .... present every step of the way,
justice feels like a more appropriate word.
Will share more later.......need to have a few days to let it absorb.
Thank you - Thank you - Thank you to all of those who kept my family in their prayers and threw out those life jackets when it felt like
our ship had sunk....
XOXOXOXOXOXO

VetsLady,
How sweet it is! When you get your notification and actually see it in writing it's still hard to believe. That direct deposit will seem unreal!! It seems that the struggle you've endured is still hard to fathom even when you win. Congratulations my friend. I'll talk to you later.
Carolyn
Thank you Carolyn ....
We were quite surprised when they called this morning.
He said we should receive the notification this week or 1st of next week.
This has been a very long roller coaster ride and I'm ready to disembark and stand still for awile.

VetLady,
The whole Hadit Family is doing the "Happy Dance" with you.
Papa
Thanks Papa for the message ..... This has been one roller coaster of a ride and I'm not too keen on roller coasters !
-
RO said they were sending a
TDIU claim form out with the rating. Nice to see that they are doing what they should be.
We'll cross the TDIU - P&T bridge once this is done.
WOOOO-HOOOOO - Doing the Happy Dance !!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Had a deposit show up as pending. Its does seem to be consistent with 30% so I guess thats it. I do not have an award letter so not sure about pension or anything. still waiting. no ebenifits password yet either.
This is a step in the right direction for you !
-
I've done this! If you select the option to change your direct deposit, you get transferred straight to the finance folks - in my experience.... Just ask them if there is a payment out there in the system for you. If it's there, they can give you the date it's supposed to hit and the exact amount....
Good luck and hang in there
I decided to try the Option 3 - Direct Deposit Option again as you suggested and THIS time the response was "There is a payment pending in the system.
-
Did you check the BVA decision database? Not all offices are as efficient as others. Input your docket number and see what comes up.... Also, do you have a VSR? I've gotten the verbal info from a VSR (in the past) in advance of getting my notification letter.
Hang in there...
Thanks for the response SheilaLundlee ....
We received the BVA decision a couple of months ago. The notification/decision we are waiting for is the "rating" from the RO ... C&P done, everything else done. Just waiting for the authorization of the rating.
Taking it day by day.
