ptsd Can we get travel pay?
georgiapapa replied to Buck52's question in Veterans Compensation & Pension Exams
Buck, Andyman is right. If you have a combined rating of 30% or higher, you get travel pay for any VA appointment. All veterans can claim travel pay for C & P appointments regardless of rating. Even if you have no rating or a 0 % rating, you would still get travel pay for a C & P exam. GP -
Congratulations and good luck to you. GP

This is good info for Camp Lejeune vets. I was at Lejeune in 1968, 1969 and 1970. GP

Dtown, Congratulations on your increase. Your increase to a combned rating of 30% entitles you to travel pay for all future VA medical appointments. You can also request travel pay for prior VA medical appointments retroactive back to the date your 30% combined award became effective. Good luck to you. GP

tdiu Too late to claim or Secondary?
georgiapapa replied to dkemp's question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum
Did you ever set foot in Vietnam or serve on a vessel on the inland waterways of Vietnam? Did you ever serve on a ship listed on the VA's alphabetized list of ships possibly exposed to agent orange? If you answered yes to either of the above questions, your heart condition (ischemic heart disease/coronary artery disease) would be considered an agent orange presumptive disease and you should file an FDC claim asap. A successful IHD claim along with your other service connected conditions should entitle you to a 100% schedular award. JMO GP- 13 replies

Thankful for 100% P&T
georgiapapa replied to waccamawwild's question in Entitlement - Veterans Compensation Benefits Claims
Congratulations on the 100% P & T award and thank you for your service. Take care. GP -

Congratulations on your win. You are now in VA priority group one since your combined award is 50% or higher. As a result, you can receive free VA medical care and prescriptions for any medical condition regardless of whether the condition is service connected. You no longer have to pay copays for VA appointments or prescriptions. You can also request reimbursement of any copays you previously paid back to the effective date your combined rated reached the 50% or higher level which in your case would be May 31, 2011. Good luck to you and thank you for your service. Take care. GP

ptsd SENDING IN 21-0781 statem in support of claim PTSD
georgiapapa replied to Buck52's question in PTSD Post Traumatic Stress Disorder Claims
Buck, My last claim involved a little over 100 pages of documents which I initially sent certified mail return receipt requested and then hand delivered a second copy of the documents to my RO after the VA lost the documents I had mailed. Due to the volume of pages and to simplfy it for the VA, I added a Table of Contents at the front of my claims package and tabbed the different sections according to subject matter (e.g.- Statements in Support of Claim, Military Records, Service Medical Records, VA Medical Records, Private Provider Medical Records, Dependents Information, etc.).
