I received 100% for heart, had a claim in for COPD and was told it was set aside because once I became 100%, that was all I needed. Not I am house bound and on oxygen 24 7 and my wife has had to quit work to care for me. Is there additional help for me to off set the loss of her salary?

Yes it was P & T.

What is P&T?

Back pay for 24 months and 100% rating. Mets 2-3, Efract 22-24%. I would rather have my health back, but really had decided nothing was going to happen until after I die. Thanks for all the support.

I am talking about emails on IRIS. Do most people checking weekly, monthly, dailey etc?

How often should you check IRIS on line? I don't want to make Mr. Kruse mad. lol

Yea

Thank you for clarifying that issue. It has been confusing to me in the past.

Thank you for that. I have wondered about that after reading other's postings. This really helps me understand.

I must not be overly bright. I am so confused about unemployment claims. If I get 100 % for IHD, can I also file additionally because I cannot work? I have been on Social security since 1992 on a non service connected illness.

LOL, needed the chuckle to relieve the tension today!!

Too funny! Needed to laugh to relieve the tnsion

I have a letter from VA stating they have had my claim on IHD as of June 2009, but when I check status of claim on IRIS they state they have had the claim since February, 2010. I received notification in December 2009 to go to my C&P exam in January , 2010. Do I wait until the decision is made or start now? The C&P exam states ischemic with efraction of 25-30% and I have a deifibulator.

I have no idea how to post this on the AO forum, but wanted to share what I found on YUKU! AN 54 has cleared by OMB and is being sent to the register. Should be in the registry by August 31, 2010. 60 day CRA period will run throug Octber 31, 2010. Source not sure what VA timetable is for notification and payment. 2900-AN54 should be readable at http://www.archives.gov/federal-register/public-inspection/ should be readable by Monday Should be sometype of media release on Monday 8-30-10 .

Was there a newscast or what?

I had to be called in even though I too have a difibulator, but they cancelled the tread mill once they saw I had it and they just did an echo on the heart. EF were 25% mets 4-5.

I am not all the savy on links, hope this works for you.

Click on the Agent Orange link and it will so the IHD rating.
