Berta Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 You had a GREAT claim Sgt.- I like what you said- I too find myself reading old denials to claims that I eventually succeeded in-and some of those denials were important to my present claims- yes- Evidence is everything-and there is never too much evidence for a VA claim- Congratulations!

danang_1969 Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 Great news. I know you are ready for some peace and rest after 8 years and that is 2 years retro. Congratulations and way to go on not giving up until you proved you case. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TiredSgt Posted November 12, 2007 Author Share Posted November 12, 2007 Thanks for all the great replies guys/gals...yes, that was 2 yrs retro, it came just in time for wifey's job transfer from Kentucky to Panama City Beach, FL! It's a very nice and welcomed climate change to say the least. If anyone is trying to service connect heart disease with PTSD and was in Somalia, give me a PM, I could have some info that may help (it helped me 100%) lol. I feel I have accomplished a great task, as I was only rated at 10% PTSD, but was able to service connect my heart disease (caused by or aggravated through PTSD). Thanks for the support through it all HADIT, I'm sure many vets feel the same about this site...a real morale booster and great source of information/research.

danang_1969 Posted November 22, 2007 Share Posted November 22, 2007 I haven't stopped by in a while, but got good news last week...VA service-connected me at 100%, retro to May 05. Thought I'd share my good fortune with all the great veterans of Hadit. It was a long battle, claims, appeals, long waits, numerous appointments, C&P exams, etc, but it finally paid off. It feels good...an enormous relief for sure, good luck guys and keep plugging away, don't give up. There were many times when I read my denial letters, I would come to this site for encouragement and found it and also found the endurance to write one more appeal or look for one more piece of "material" evidence. Thanks again TBird and all the others who know of my struggle - it's finally over! TB Congrats and good job hanging in and not giving up.
