I just love hearing these success stories! Congratulations!!

Thanks Bufloguy!

Thanks for the link Berta. Quite interesting! Makes one wonder how much more they will find in the future.

Congratulations John!!

Tbird Thank you for your comments. We would like to be able to help membership out with this calculator. If it is a success, we'd be honored to have it placed on the site. So far, testing (on my original file) has been 100% successful (cross checking with the VBA 38CFR Combined ratings table and using the 10% bilateral factor). We'd like to have Hadit members run their percentages to see if it works for them before we'd be able to call it a complete success. Chr49's wife

Pete, Good luck...I hope it works out for you.

Pete If you have 30%-30% with the bilateral factor for flat feet the calculator puts it at 56.1 with a final rating of 60% for bilateral flat feet. I cross checked the results against the VA combined ratings table which shows the same results.

Here's our version of a ratings calculator that will do both bilateral and non-bilateral ratings(my wife, the perfectionist, did most of the work on this). We are hoping that others will find it useful. There are no guarantees that it will work 100% of the time but it's done well in our testing so far. Ratings Calculator for Bilaterals.xls

"three years of probation, including 120 hours of volunteer work, probably in the service of veterans." WOW! He sure got off easy.

Hardtimes, Carlie said it all. It sounds like the echo revealed something that needs further attention. Please follow thru. Welcome to the group!

David, Congratulations on your latest approval. I don't know anything about Chapter 35 benefits so I'll leave that to others.

teejay I was astounded when I read how many documents you had to submit to support your claim. This was completely ridiculous, especially in your situation. I agree that there should be a time limit set on DIC claims. It's so good to read that your award has finally come thru and your life can move forward. Congratulations!

Another coffee addict! Been there and still doing that! Good to hear that you were able to figure out my instructions. I'm not always good at getting the message across.

Congratulations! Sorry to hear that it took so long for her to get this award.

I agree, many chains (such as Walmart, Walgreens, Kroger, etc) have extensive $4 lists for a 30 day supply or $10 for a 90 day supply. Also, most pharmacies will honor the $4 list of another chain in order to keep your business. It might be worth checking into whether your meds would be cheaper locally.

Scott I'm assuming you want to edit your 'interests'? If so...I think you will find everything you need with the following instructions: On the forum main page: 1. Upper Right hand corner - Click on your login name (above sign out link) to pull down a link list. 2. Click the My Profile link On your Profile page: 1. Click 'Edit Profile' link(above the 'ScottCGas Profile' title line on the right hand side) That takes you to "Your Options" page. At that point you should be able to edit your profile info, avatars, photos, etc using the shown info and the links on the left hand side of the page. There are also editing links above the dark blue line for settings, etc. Hope this helps you find what you are looking for.

Congratulations Tami!

Welcome to Hadit Jalexand!

81150 This works well if you don't have a stamp. To add your info to documents that can't be accessed using your word processor(such as copies or .pdf documents) Open your word processor and set up a document with a narrow (.5" or less) header & L/R margins. Open the header/footer and insert your name, SS# or Claim# & Page # ____ (leave blank). Leave the page blank and print a sample page to make sure all of your information prints properly. Once it's set up like you want print off several blank pages to use for making copies & printing .pdf documents. (Note: Be sure to add the page numbers by hand once all of your packet is in order) Hope this helps...Kathy (CHR49's wife)

Thanks Vync! I used the copy/paste method to check everything out last night..this will be much easier.

John46 Congratulations on your success. I hope things proceed well with your IHD claim.

If given a choice..I'd run as fast as I could away from anybody promoting the use of such a pill. We have natural responses (fear, pain, hunger) for a reason.

I would be confused on this too, since you have representation. What do your lawyers have to say about this interview?
