HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted May 31, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 31, 2007 Found this site while looking for expected lifespans for Vietnam veterans. I'll be sending for the professional edition. Also found out the VA has charts that give our expected lifespans. Bet they use these charts when adjudicating claims. pr http://www.longtermcarelink.net/a16veterans_books.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted May 31, 2007 Share Posted May 31, 2007 They sure use them if they do ya in! When I won my wrongful death case the OGC used this type of chart to determine how much longer my husband would have lived if he had gotten proper medical care- it helped determine the first settlement offer- that is- their initial offer- which was ludicrous- so I made them give me more- I often wonder if the docs used this chart when they decided NOT to treat the veteran properly- when another VA saw the malpractice from the original VA- yet still failed to treat the veteran with appropriate care.

I think they are designed to help people shift their assets to family or trust so they can have a low enough income etc. to qualify for the benefits through the pension process. It looks like they might have one chapter for those veterans who are SC'd and get compensation. I would call before I spend the money and make sure of what your getting. Of course they may offer a money back guarantee. Jangrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted June 1, 2007 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 1, 2007 Thanks, Jangrin and you are probably right but I'll be purchasing anyway. Sometimes it only takes one sentence to win and from what I can see it also covers SC comp, though maybe not as extensively. I purchased about seven volumes of SSDI lawyer type books, for about $700, and at present have just been too overwhelmed, moving back to VT, to even look at them. I'll be pursuing about $20k in retro SSDI I was cheated out of, shortly. Thanks again, pr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it is a source that not very many people have. So you will be able to provide information to everyone that we wouldn't normally be familiar with. Oh, by the way where abouts in VT are you going? My daughter and grandkids live in Clarendon. Good luck on the deserved retro, I hope you get it. Jangrin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Philip Rogers Posted June 1, 2007 Author HadIt.com Elder Share Posted June 1, 2007 Jangrin - I'll be in South Woodbury, about 87 miles northeast from her. As for the SSDI retro, I should win once I get to the ALJ level. Thanks, pr Phillip, Hey, I agree. One never knows where help is going to come from. And it is a source that not very many people have.
