Rental Guy,

Imagine U don't remember this one specific post so I posted it below to refresh your memory.

Another item I wish to inform U of is that when I was on Pension I was rated with A & A.

Had to go on Pension because in 1995 or 1994 I was running my own small const company & had been doing same for about 25 years. But I was shot out of the saddle because I had Status Epilepticious for 12 hours straight & had to be transferred to a Neurology Hospital as the one I was in couldn't stop the damn things.

Bet I burnt up a lot of Neuro Transmittors that day. HA

Had not been to the VA Hospital since leaving the Military in 1967. Wrong, was in there once for about 3 days because of these damn Seizures & was not even aware I could apply for SC at that time.

I imagine this will be a postive item but do U think that it is a lot more convincing as I was on A & A on Pension.

Thank U for your time.

It sounds like you have a very good chance of winning, Gary. We never know exactly what the VA will do, but you bombarded them with the correct evidence from the beginning, so it has a better than fair chance at success.

OK I have a question on A & A

I suffer from Epilepsy & need some one with me all the time as I am liable to have a seizure at any time.

Also, I can't drive, my short term memory is shot & am always losing things as I can't remember what I did with them.

I put in for A & A & every Doc I see at the VA wrote an Opinion that I need A & A.

Docs include Shrink,Psychologist,Neurologist,Primary & an IMO from a Neurologist.

Does this sound like a good claim?

Also, I am 100% T & P because the Epilepsy was caused in the Military.

If anyone thinks this claim may win ( Sent it in June 4) could said person give me an idea of the money I may get.

Also, have been diagnoised with Dementia by the Shrink,Neuroligist & Psycholigst. Psycholigist said it was getting worse & I needed A & A 24 hours a day.

THANK YOU for your time.

It definately bolsters your case, Gary. The absolute best thing you could do to guarantee a A&A win would be to have one (or more) of your docs to write something up stating that you need A&A. Good luck!

Scroll to bottom of page & U will see that all my Docs have signed Opinions saying I need A & A

GARY

[rentalguy1 16]

do they say that you need it due to SC'd conditions?

If so, you're in like Flynn! B)

RG,

That be the case.

In 1967 on the way back to the States while in Japan & sitting in a Bar & minding my own business ( I think HA) 2 Shore Patrol came in ( Kind of fuzzy what caused altercation as I had been there for about 2 hours... HA)

Well, next thing I know I'm getting banged up side the head & all over by these NICE GENTLEMEN ( With them damn batons they carried) & when I hit the floor they started kicking & stomping. Definatly unfriendly as hell. HA

Luckily I had a Ship Mate with me to testify on what happened.

Because the ship I was on if some one went to Sick Bay they were considered a slacker, no matter what was the matter, & given all the sh-t jobs for about a month. Kind of an unwritten law but everyone knew about it.

The Seizures started shortly after that & haven't quite yet. I have been awarded 100% T & P from this NICE encounter with Fellow Sailors.

I still wonder to this day what started the ruckus as like I said I was a bit drunk.

The best I can think of is maybe we were wearing Blues ( With that damn Suicide patch of what ship one is on) maybe that started it or maybe I cracked a joke they didn't like or maybe they didn't like where my nose was on my face. HA

I just wish I hadn't been in there at that particular time when they came

in there.

My Buddy said " They asked him if he wanted some & he declined" HA

Just my Bad Luck, that was in 1967 & I was seperated from the Navy on December 18,1967.
