Sorry I messrd up. I received severance pay 40% seizure 0% right knee after about 3 years I tried to up % on right knee I missed appointment va took all disability. I had moved to another state assuming 40% was going to my af severance pay off. I found out I still owed af 8500 pissed me off by this time I had a job with insurance. As time went by seizure kept coming more people found out. Oct of 2006 va doctor wrote a letter saying Im not allowed to drive or work until I see a nurologist. I was getting unemployment up to this time. va awarded me 20% for 5 month I was waiting for apt. Would I be eligible for 100% during that time. nod is 24 june

I need to clarify this-you received separation pay at 40% for seizure disorder that was Service connected-

Is the $8500 debt due to receipt of the separate pay as well as VA comp?

"Oct of 2006 va doctor wrote a letter saying Im not allowed to drive or work until I see a nurologist"

Did the neurologist say that you are still unemployable due to the seizure condition?

How did the 40% get down to 20%?

I mean -you were getting 40% in VA comp and then they lowered it to 20% for the same seizure disorder? But the C & P you missed was for the knee?

Is June 24th the last day you can file a NOD?

What does the June 2006 decision state as to what you are disagreeing with?

What % for SC do you actually get now ?

VA did not have the doctor's statement Oct 2006 as to unemployability when they prepared their last decision-if that decision came a year ago-

I strongly suggest that you refer to this statement in the NOD and also attach a copy of it.

"Im not allowed to drive or work until I see a nurologist"

What did the neurologist's report say as to all this?

If you have this-you could also attach to the NOD-

Do you have a vet rep?

You also could attach a TDIU form 21-8940 if the doctors are saying-in documentation-that your service connected condition (and the meds also as to their side effects) render you as unemployable.

Air force rated me at 20% sc. va rated me at 40% seizue 0% right knee no rating for lower back injury this was in 1988 I had a car accident on the way to appointment didn't make so my benefits went to 0%. I wasn't aware of this I had move several times. When I found out 1993 I didn't trust the va health care system. Med over years have taken a toll on my body now. I took a lay off from work I knew I couldn't do it I was make mistakes Didn't remember doing it. I started back at the va during my absence things changed. I reopened my claim. award 10% dec 2006 I appealed it went to dro gave me 20% 10% goes to af severance pay off I recieve 10%. eeg showed seizure activity. I havn't filled on my lower back wasn't sure when the best time mri showed herniated disc. I have a local va rep I feel he dosn't know or cares. I really at lost how to go forward. I depressed memory loss having had time focusing Thank YOu for asking questions. I have alot of things going wrong because of sc back knee epilepsy. communicating it is hard and draining.
