Wow Okay. I will get to work

Good Morning Folks, I checked on the status of my case this morning and they lady told me that it is in the appeals process and that it can stay there for up to a year. WOW! Will it be effect to write my congress man? If so any ideas of what to say. other than the basics/ Or what not to say. Thank you

So I go to pick up my wife today at work and her eyes are blood shot red. I asked her had she been crying and she nodded while we walked out the door. She had been talking to her supervisor and they were having a heart to heart behind clothes doors. But the commander was there and had said nothing to her all day when she is normally up in my wifes face. I guess she may know that my wife is upset with the whole orders situation. What I gather from my wife an other people that work in there is that the morale is lower than the floor. The commander is a type of women that is out for revenge and blood and will make it bad for everyone else. Not to mention all of the backbitting and stabbing that is going in her unit. She is uncomfortable just being there. Her doctors appointment was rescheduled for sometime in Septemeber. She says she cant even concetrate or focus on her work. She cant bring herself to do it and its becoming annoying. Her orders end 30 Sept and she has over 60 days of leave on the books. Can they deny her leave? I am afraid that she will not be able to hold her temper and may snap. Her temper is pretty firery and she has been maintaining her bearing all this time. They do have government jobs at her unit GS 5, 6,7. Someone mentioned for her to take the job because it is a reccesion and the need for health care. I dont know if you have ever heard of ARTS. What do you all think?

Do you get any education benefits if you are rated at 100% How about 80%. What is the cut off?

She was on orders starting in April 2001 and then she was assaulted in July ( she went to a miliarty hospital after it happen) and then 9/11 happened she did not get off orders until then next April. Her orders cover the exact day. At her orders state that location from like April 2001-April 2002. She was working at the Pentagon, she helped with the recovery efforts. Should I have her get the buddy statements now or wait until later? She has a copy of the award write up, the award and pics when it was presented to her. She was also featured in a newspaper.

Yes the migraines are well documented. She has a number of ER visits that would make your head spin. She works in the medical field and knows the MEB process. I think that is what is holding her back. Plus you know that the system is so messed up. I think that is why she is not getting the help that she needs. I know that she has a copy of her old orders and she has an award that she was given as well. Is there anything else she should ask for at her physical.

Good Evening. My wife is a traditonal reservist that had been on active duty orders for about 4 years straight. She had really bad migraines and has since 9/11. She was in the Pentagon when it was attacked she was not hurt physically but emtionally she is wreck. She is okay until someone mentions it and then you can see the look on her face change. She totally avoids everything that has to do with it and does not even want to talk about it. I think that she has PSTD. Back to the migraines. She goes to the hospital at least 6 times per year if not more to get pain free from the headaches. About 2 months ago she was hospitalized with staus migrainous. She has not had a very many neuro consults because the hospitals here are so backed up. So she has not been boarded and does not want to either. She can not work a regular job because the moment she gets stress she get a migraine that last for days. She has to take a naroctic to get some relief. She has a phsyical scheduled late next week. Any thing that she need to ask the doctor to do, or order. She will be going back to be a traditional reserv. She also has the following medical issues as well Back Pain ( They would not order a MRI by they wanted her to do PT, she went about 3 times but she said it was hurting her she stopped going)Knee Pains ( She hurt her knee a couple of years ago and has a LOD for it PSTD? ( I am not a doctor) She does have a previous note of adjustment disorder when she miscarried a set of twins Sexual Abuse ( Right before I meet her, while she was on oders she was raped by one of her family members) UTI's Flat feet from wearing thoses boots. She is a good woman and a work-a-holic. Her unit abuses her. She can be on leave and they will call her in to do something. She stays late and comes in early. Since she has been on orders she has become a different person. Only concerned about work. She does not take care of herself anymore. Her eyes are bad from sitting at the computer so much. She types so much at work you can see her rubbing them when she comes home. She takes care of everyone else. I do understand Service Before Self, but she is literally killing herself. Last week her unit told her they were taking her off orders. She does not know why. Just a bunch of rumors. She had started to have chest pains and will not go to the doctor because she is afraid of getting boarded. She is so tired when she comes home that she has no patience for me and our children. What do you all recommend to ask the doctor for in her Pysical Exam? I am going to the doctor with her so I will make sure she gets squared away. I plan on having her put in a VA Claim after her orders are finsished. Any recommenations... Anything you all can think of that will help Please Thank you

Good Morning, Sorry for bugging you all but my claim is very important to me. Does any one know of any other items that would help my VA appeal case. It is in the state of final appeal and I am awaiting a date for my hearing the lovely Air Force Lost my medical records. I have searched everywhere. What else can I do. Anything will help. Has anyone done any research or heard of any cases being approved without medical records.
