  1. Sorry Carlie I am not sure what could have caused this I only scanned docs to a thumb drive and then onto my computer will try another thumb drive. Let me know if you can read these? Thanks John999 I know no CH35 benifits were given b/c I am not P&T yet but thanks. Bruno Thanks for the heads up on doc personal info. I was told by field examiner about retro and recieved a letter a few days after now attached hope can open. I need someone to help do VA math for 100% SC to see if there is something not right. Fid people stopped direct deposit and sent dis comp by check for 2 mths now. My wife is my fid but they still sent the check in my name with no other money. Rep TVC helped me with error and helped write all NOD attached. something got messed up just don't know what to do anymore will not give up though very tired of fighting! What is the difference from headaches and migraines they are coded the same? B/c I was denied in 2005 see doc attached. I am not getting a lawyer unless just have to. This was before I even knew what TBI was. My service rep TVC gave me a form attached showing my SC and effective dates he found an error and submitted NOD and know he acts like he doesn't know what he found could he of got in trouble? Was it an error? If so wouldn't that bring my SC back until 11/1/2007 because of my 90% with 4.8 bi lat factor? If not explain please! Have more stuff need to put in for should I wait will it slow it down? Told to get congressman involved but won't that slow it down or stop it?

  2. Sorry wrote a whole page and it went bye bye before I saved it attached are some docs with SC %'s please look and see if there are any errors in Calculations I have lots of questions so bear with me please. I have multiple injuries all combat related currently at 100% SC ( scheduled not UI )temp until 05/2015. How to fight for P&T before 2015? Is that is why no A&A? or grants auto/home was given? Need medical for kids and wife if eligible? If so how do we continue for it? I got SC for 100% on June/1/2010 so just changed the SC date to June1/2009 and have been with holding $1103. per month since wife is fiducial. Then so we where told we would be getting a check for approximatively $7,721.00 where is the rest? Told could spend it on Christmas for kids still waiting for it. Stopped direct deposit wife had to open a custodial account. How to fight for the rest of it later? What is the difference from headaches and migraines they are coded the same? B/c I was denied in 2005 see doc attached. I am not getting a lawyer unless just have to. This was before I even knew what TBI was. My service rep TVC gave me a form attached showing my SC and effective dates he found an error and submitted NOD and know he acts like he doesn't know what he found could he of got in trouble?

  3. I was never issued a PH for taking light shrapnel wounds and have TBI/ seizures from falling in a spider hole while running through a mortar attack. I have a NCO that is trying to put me in for one. I need to know the forms we need to fill out. A lot of my records were lost but I have several lay statements that back up the attack. Any advice this is above my head???????????
  4. It was not that I never recieved a purple heart it was the fact that I was never put in for one. I have my NCO who is willing to put me in for one but. I need to know what forms are needed to do so.
  5. Let me first start off by saying thank you to all the veterans no matter how long ago it was you served. Thank you for you sacrifice and heart for this country. May God bless you all!!! Well my name is Joshua Holm let me first start by saying I am a proud Iraqi freedom of 03-04 with 4ID. I am a father of two wonderful children and today is my eighth wedding Aniversary to my gem my wife Crystal who has literally been there for me through thick and thin. Well I am almost 27 and I went to Iraq in 2003 with 4ID in June 2003 we were doing house to house raids and there was someone in the roof of clay hut. I was shot with a double barrel shot gun two slug to the center mass of my chest. I was told that two to five more pounds of pressure would have broken my sternum which would have then splintered into my heart which would have then killed me instantly. In Sept 2003 I was on a detail of burning poop we had to take shifts doing this due to lack of plumbing. We began to take enemy mortar rounds they were using the light of the fire to walk the rounds into our camp. I was on the OP and was not aware of the incoming mortars until it was almost to late. I flipped the crap and began to run after first letting one of my soldiers go about a minute ahead of me. Well to make a long story short I never made it to the bunker. I was running and took light shrapnel wounds to my the side of my right leg. While running from the incoming mortars i fell in a spider hole right before I made it to the bunker. It was about 10 to 12 ft deep. I was knocked out for 30min + ?. when i woke up there were no more mortars and they had already called all clear. I was pulled out of the hole and taken to the medics. They just gave me motrin or (skittles) and put me on light duty for 2 weeks. I didn't know I took shrapnel until about 3-4 weeks after it happened. I was cut up from head to toe from the fall. My feet and legs began to swell i thought it was from the constant on the go. When we returned from Iraq the legs got even worse and I was put in leg braces and a wheelchair. i was prideful so i never wanted to use the chair. I was in a MVA in Sept of 04 on post. I was T-boned at a 4way stop the truck was going 47 mph. I was put into a neck brace for about 4mths. After being messed around by the medical I got fed up of the run around and ETS ed in June of 2005. I was already making more money with my maintenance company then i was making in the military. I learned how to walk again and was only using a cane on bad days but used both knee and ankle braces almost everyday. I went to the VA right away for headaches/ and pain in my feet and legs. By 12-05 I was given 10% for flat feet due to the fall in 03. I was happy with that until I found people that where getting disability for just about nothing. By DEC 2006 I was getting 60% for feet/ sleep apnea. In 2007 I got a increase of 90% for headaches/ lower back pain/ both knee / ankle and left soulder. In the fall of 2007 I was told by the VA to either let my maintenance company up or they would stop all my benefits. So I did as they told me to and started going to VRE or Chapter 31. In June of 2008 I got a call from a social worker at the VA she called to tell me I missed a follow up appointment for TBI this the first time I ever heard of this. Later she found out back in 2005 I was given a Cat scan and a doctor prognoised TBI but never scheduled a follow up exam. They began to do diffrent brain test. On July 15, 2008 I fell in the middle of the grocery store and had my first seizure it was a grand mal. I losed control of my bowels and everthing. Since then I was hospitalized a few times I am on lots of seizure/ migraine meds. My wife drives me. On May 1st 2009 I was at my house making koolade for the kids when I passed out in a sezuire state and was hospitalized for seven days. my head bonced of my countertop then hit the floor. I had blood of my brain and lots of fluid build up. I was told by one doctor i had a slight anurysum. I had partial pralisses on my left side. I have been in a wheel chair since May I use a wheelchair on a daily basis. I have a custom manual ultra light wheelchair. I can't feel my entire right leg when i feel it it stings like pens and needles. In late 2008 I put in for SSA a was granted within 24 days after i put in for I fell under the wounded warrior act. I finally put in for 100 ui but was denied b/c i was trying to do vre. I appealed it in fed 2009 in may my dr put in for A&A and they also put me n for PTSD, depression, seizures, and dental trama I am still waiting. Ok considering my condition what will I probably get for A&A and how is it configured? What should i do almost all my field records were lost by the miltary. i got lay statement written by my platoon sgt and my crpl who was the one who pulled me out of the hole and took me to the medics. The medic that removed the shrapnel from my leg/ knee didn't make it back there second tour. My old battery commander is dead, the medic, my supply sgt dead. All I have left is the crpl who is now a ssg and is still active. I never even got a purple heart. I have the scars from the light shrapnel wounds. I just did what i was taught suck it up and drive on, adapt and over come. I thought I was superman but did norelize I had crytonte in my pockets.I just got a rating decision from the VA giving me 50% for PTSD. I am still waiting on a decision for Sezuiers and tbi (which i think that they may combine),depression,and A&A. So without this other stuff I have 210% disability which they still rate me at 90% how? Also I am in a wheelchair due to my tbi and seziuers and my wife takes care of me i am not helpless but I can't perform my duties as a husband without a little help. They have put me in for reg A&A after a decision is made how would I get this increased to R1? My doctor filed out th form my wife has to drive me, the va just told me I can't manage my finaces, can't own a firearm and etc. I am tired of them ripping my family off of all the beniefits they deserve. I don't care about the money but if i am eleigable I want to get. I just found out about the VA house grant and auto. Can anyone help me to understand how to even apply for a A&A increase and who has to do it I just got an decision giving me 50% for PTSD and a denial on TBI, UI or 100%. Still waiting on A&A decesion, depression and i was also denied dental truma. Any advice on what i should do? It has been a two yrs since i first put in for TBI, and UI. Thanks Joshua Holm

  7. No sir I did not recieve a Purple Heart, I have recently got in contact with a fellow soldier who pulled out of the hole and took me to the medics. He is willing to put me in for it and he is still active. I was told he would have to fill out a DA4187 . I did contact my Sentors office they said since I have lost records of the incident and all i have are lay statments from my Pltn SGt and squad leader that I need someone to recommend me for it. I have that but I can not find anywhere on what forms to have them fill out. Could you please give the forms that would need to filled out to continue this process?
  8. I can fax a copy of the decision and current claims I just don't want to let everyone see them. My personal email is soldierofchrist4id@yahoo.com
  9. I was given SSA b/c of TBI and seizures. I never got a medical exam and there were no service records due to the fact of them being lost while over seas. The VA knows I have SSA and I have never been treated for seizures before my fall in Iraq. I had lots of symptoms of TBI but never knew what it was. They told me it was migraines. I went from 196lbs to 127 due to my injuries. I am just know holding a steady 170lbs. I was never treated for the TBI until 2008 which leaves a 5 yr window since the fall in Iraq. How do I file a 1151 claim and who do i need to contact? I am tired of the run around you can call me at my house at 254-501-3878 thank you.
  10. So how do they look at this in order to grant A&A my dr told my wife to get the form and he would fill it out for me. I had a brain injury that happened in 2003 but wasn't treated until 2008.
  11. Ok thank you I have several seizures and curently can't drive due to that and i am in a wheelchair and this is third time being in a wheelchair. this time since May of 2009. My wife drives me every where. I am not currently in school due to health flare ups mainly seizures. I am retired through SSA but not VA. How do they rate the SMC or A&A?
  12. OK thanks what about the A&A? What would i probably recieve in my condition? How to raise it if they try to low ball me?
  13. It is for a mutiply things no I am not working. I am currently in a wheelchair due to TBI issues. Am a combat vet that is now retired through SSA not VA. 50% sleep apnea 30% both feet 30% left shoulder 20% lower back 30% both knees more just forgot Still waiting on ?
