vetswife Posted May 7, 2008 Share Posted May 7, 2008 Well, I called the VA today and in their computers, Rick is officially 80%. Here's how it breaks out: 0 for the Aneurysm 0 for the HBP 0 for the Renal Insufficiency 20 for Diabetes 70 for PTSD This is good, because at least they SC'd him for the stuff he needed, and the PTSD was GREAT!! They denied the Skin cancer, but I have all my ducks in a row to fix that, and will apply for TDIU and comp for his surgery. We still haven't gotten the letter, and I haven't gotten the retro either, but at least it is in the computer. Does anybody know when to expect the Retro or the letter?

HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted May 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 7, 2008 (edited) Keep checking the bank account. It will be any day. The money may beat the letter to you. Mine did. They should have considered IU for your husband. Is he on SSDI? Go ahead and fill out the IU form and get it in ASAP. copy and paste this onto your browser. http://www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/VBA-21-8940-ARE.pdf J Edited May 7, 2008 by jbasser A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted May 7, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted May 7, 2008 Glad for the win but they usually short Vets on retro but at least you will have something and a check every month so a lot easier. Hang in with us and help other Veterans and spouses. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
