gdsnide Posted May 6, 2008 Author Share Posted May 6, 2008 What about if you are getting service at home by a physical and occupational therapist because the va cannot provide these services to you were does that put a vet at? Windy City, Don't believe any have said I need specilized care but if they would require some Specialist I know an LPN that would do it.

HadIt.com Elder rentalguy1 Posted May 6, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 6, 2008 Do you have to requst a&a at the R1 rate or does the va grant it to you? i would specifically request that rate, and add documentation showing that you are currently paying for a nurse (et. al.) to provide A&A in your home. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The VA send me a letter to see if I wanted a meeting with a DRO, I spoke to my DAV rep. and he said to do it when I go to the meeting should I tell my rep. so when can request the rate or should I put in for it now?

If possible, and you are not in dire straits for the money, then I would hold off on filing it until your appeal is resolved. If you file a new claim during an ongoing appeal, it can gum up the works. 90%, TDIU P&T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
