Yes. However, seems the VARO in Seattle has managed to lump things together and separate issues submitted at the same time, at their leisure, rather than following my responses. They gave me a long standing claim for increased compensation for anxiety attacks/depression last September, and seemed to think that since that was at 100% with TDUI, they could (?) cancel all the other issues that were outstanding, such as the hearing problems, and several other service related conditions. In response to that determination, I SPECIFICALLY accepted the award, while maintaining that that did not resolve (or effect) several other claims, mainly the hearing issue.
Of course, the other thing which has me scratching my head is that my hearing disability has gone from 0% when I filed back in 1990 (and had to start using hearing aids shortly after that) to finally getting 10% back in 1999 (along with 10% for tinnitus), and then claiming it hadn't increased in 2004, then going to 80% in 2008 (absent any traumatic or medically connected reasons for a dramatic increase in my hearing inability).
Pardon the rant, but I get the strong feeling that the local VARO doesn't appreciate me not taking their answers as final, and seem to chafe under the continued calls, congressional contacts about my situation, requests for records, and submittal of IMO information that eventually exposes the VARO's "New Clothes". Like I mention last night, this has even gotten down to the local clinic that is treating me, and I have appeared for simple appointments and had to wait extended periods of time; been left in treatment rooms for almost a hour, waiting for something trivial; and having the local Mental Health specialist lie to my attending Psychiatrist about desire to take Lithium therapy, etc. I've gotten to the point that I feel like going there is not a treatment session, but a session where I get to be their Pin'ata. Even several members of the nursing staff have started treating me like I was some sort of leper.
Anyway, I'm appealing, keep calling every month or so to find out what the latest story about my requests are (and Boy, are they usually hilarious!), and contacting the congressional staff to keep the pot boiling with them. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
