Arch Posted November 5, 2007 Share Posted November 5, 2007 The VARO increased me from 50% vestibular dysfunction to 100% schedular for meneirs disease. Failed to rate me as P&T so no Champva for spouse which pisses me off royaly, Doc suggested removal of skull bone and complete ear guts. Cannot guarantee I wouldnt only turn right for rest of my life... should get 4 months back pay due to some crazy rule to do with year in time??

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 6, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 6, 2007 You can appeal the denial of Chapter 35 benefits and keep the effective date. I did that and got Chapter 35 one year after IU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted November 6, 2007 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 6, 2007 Arch: It may not seem like it but 100% is hard to get from VA. Hang in there. Pete Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted November 6, 2007 Share Posted November 6, 2007 I would fight for the P & T Arch- there is no guarantee on that type of surgery- With a good IMO from a real audio doctor- this could help you get the P & T. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arch Posted November 6, 2007 Author Share Posted November 6, 2007 I would fight for the P & T Arch- there is no guarantee on that type of surgery- With a good IMO from a real audio doctor- this could help you get the P & T. Thats Correct Berta, no guarantee, I have had 4 surgeries so far and only the TIPS stent went well all the rest had other complictions. Its hard enough walking into walls, falling and knocking things down now. I Just dont trust "modern medicine". Im working on my approach NOW. At My senior age and with all my medical problems Surgery is not an option & Forget the Gentamycin injection in the ear. Tinnitus is bad enough now, Imagine turning the whistling into a roaring turbine.... Arch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
