  1. Thanks...I guess I will leave well enough alone..The reason I was thinking about going back to school was just to try again to do something with my life..I know deep down inside my med problems would not allow me to attend classes on a regular basis.The last thing I need is to stir the pot after such a long battle...Thanks again you guys are great.
  2. I have fought for years and with the help of this site along with a lot of fighting I received a award of 100% T&P..Thank you...Now am I able to try to go back to school and get a degree? Will I continue to get my award? Do I receive a extra styphen for attending school?.....If I was able to compleate a program would I loose all my benefits? I am afraid of starting school and not being able to compleate the program because of my health but I would love the opertunity to go back to school..
  3. Its been a little while since I posted, I received my award in Nov. ...I really owe this board a hugh "Thank You" everyone here was just great helping me get through the hard times..No one will ever know how much this board has help change the lives of my family..Thanks again for all the great advice and encouraging words that kept me fighting..
  4. My daughter just got her letter showing her award for Chapter 35...Then is asked to choose a start date? her birthday 18th june "09", my date of total disability18 nov 09, or any date between ??Would it not be a obvious choice of 6/27/09??What am I missing here..
  5. I am going through the same thing right now with my daughter...Per VA...The ending date for using your benefits is 8 yrs after your start date...I have not seen a specific age they will be cut off only ending benefit .
  6. When I went in front of the board I told them "I could get any job I want"..I just happen to interview well and must have I guess the that employers want?..My problem is Maintaining jobs because of SC disability. I gave a list of past employers over the past 5yrs and Income earned .. Some of my past jobs paid very well and would put me well above income limits the only problem was that I was not able to Maintain the Jobs because of service connected Disability.So I would get a letter ASAP from your employer stating so.I was told it was a positive that I was trying to work.
  7. I made about the same amount of money, but included a letter from employer stating he hired me as a friend (which he did) and that he will have to let me go due to loss time because of illness and unreliability. I now have not had any earned income over the past 7mo.
  8. Where you initially awarded IU?.. I thought poverty level was quit a bit higher..
  9. I have to be honest with you here I was one of the ignorant people that use to say "ahh that guys a drunk" he needs to help himself get on his feet. I use to think some Vets used the military as an excuse as to why the were homeless and panning for money.Well shame on me ,this is real and this is going on right here in the greatest country in the world. What I am going through makes me realize how easy it is to become one of the people I use to look down on. I don't believe I will have the money to donate to an organization but I sure will have the time to donate for the Vets. This is a real life changing ordeal I am going through right now and has me humbled.
  10. I will tell you what when I finally get my award, I am going to do something I don't know what but I swear I am going to do something to help homeless Vets in my area.. This can happen way to easy to a disabled vet that has no family.
  11. Some of you here know my story from earlier thread (Please Help) well anyway still waiting on anything from my RO (Philly) my award for TDIU was granted by Washington 02 June 09.Well after numerous 1-800...phone calls and now two visits to my RO I can not get a answer as to even where my case is at this time..My last visit to the RO was this past Mon. a total waste of time the person at the desk told me if I don't have a reply by Oct. 15th to call back..Ohhh God. Well this is pretty serious now financially and health wise, its to the point that with winter approaching I don't have the bread to heat my house.So I mentioned that I may go my my local state representative, with that the person said "you don't want to do that" because it will cause your file to go from maybe the top of one pile to the bottom of another.How can this go on in a organization that is set up by our federal government to our Veterans in a time of need??
  12. Advise taken Thanks..It just boggles my mind how the Federal Gov. can get billions if not trillions of dollars to bail out millionaires faster than it is to pay a Vet for a disability..
  13. Well in in my fourth month of waiting for my awards letter from RO...This is truly unbelievable.
