any hope?

thanks. i was refused SSDI, about 6 months or so before my TDIU. they said i had to show i was disabled back some time in the 80's, somehing about last time i had credits.

Hi, Again, I'm sorry, I tried to pick a forum, but I couldn't tell where to ask this. I search "insurance" but it didn't really help. Are disabled vets who use VA medical centers... which is me...are any of those medical insurance programs that are available through VA, like ChampVA or Tricare (I don't know the names, not really)...are any of those available to me? The idea is so that I may be able to get certain care at a private/civilian type provider. Is there anything at all? I am P&T, TDIU. Thanks.

Hi, By cancel/deny you mean they an cancel current edu loans and deny future ones; and take any tax returns? I think that is what you said, just want to be sure. There is an outstanding State Dept. of Education loan (FL), I am particularly concerned about that collection against my VA check. If anyone has any more info, I'd be grateful. I know that in Florida debtors can not access my check, but not sure when the debtor is the State on an education loan. Thanks!

Hi, I wish to ask again: can Florida or the Federal gov garnish or take my check for student loans? Thanks.

thanks both if you for the replies. i was awarded last year, the back was 2006 but is under appeal, the itself and both back dates would all be after the loans, although the sought (currently in appeal) back date would run to just after last loan. so, yes i think all dayes would be after loans. also, in my award letter the VA wrote, "No future examinations will be scheduled." is that important? what does that mean in VA terms? OH, almost forgot! it is state of Florida that concerns me, are these replies referring to Florida? thanks again.

hi, i hope this is where to ask these questions: i am P&T, TDIU. that tells you i am compensated at 100%, right? i hope so. :-) live in florida. 6 years before (back date) i was at a Florida university. both federal gov and FL state gov dept. of edu gave me loans. Florida is trying to collect via collection agents. i guess you can guess my next question! can Florida get at my VA disability check for FL Dept. of Education loans? also, should i send them copy of letter saying i am P&T? i have Florida DV license on my car and on my DL. HELP?! thank you.

Hi, I have a law firm handling my appeal. The appeal has already been denied once. When I was handling it I wanted to get out of Region and into BVA ASAP. The lawyer's strategy is to work within Region as much and as long as possible. The law firm (a big one) has submitted a Form-9 but it doesn't specify anything. they say the form is not necessary, I forced then to send it but it isn't filled out, they say they submitted "substantial appeal," I guess meaning their "substantial appeal" letter is effective as Form 9. But see, I got screwed once on this same claim and had to start it all over after I waited 2 years for an appeal that never happened because they said I did not submit a Form 9 -- although I demand a hearing and VA had been telling me once every 6 months for years when I'd call that my HEARING must be soon... eventually in one of those calls they said, "What hearing?" So i am more than doubly frustrated. I have experience with this in the past: I have been to a Regional hearing then to 3 BVA hearings in D.C. (2 remands, I won on the third time after "firing" the county guy was supposed to be helping me). My questions: I am suspicious that the attorneys are piling up time for their percentage, where as I want t get to the BVA and then to court if necessary ASAP. I built this case myself, so I have the stuff. Is this what these type and SSI type lawyers do? I.e., take thousands of cases and stall as as long as they possibly can in order to increase their 30%? It seems most of these firms employ lawyers that are former VA adjudicators. Is there a list of *good* firms somewhere? Should I let the law firm go and try to get to BVA as fast as I can like I think maybe I should? I am getting desperate. Thank you all very much, and I am glad I found this forum.
