SgtD6970 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 I had filed for lung cancer agent orange related and was disapproved, I filed a nod in Jan 08 and received my approval Sept 11, 08. I was adwarded 100 percent from Oct 06 - thru Oct 07 then it went back to the 60 percent I had for other items pending a C&P for residuals of the cancer, I had that C&P on Sept 11th. Now we will just have to see what they rate that at.....but the main thing is I got the lung cancer approved and won mu NOD and of course they owe me some back pay which is hard to figure out how much based on my drawing retired pay and cdrp, but I think it will be a good hunk of change.

kookiebean2001 Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Wonderful news, ans thank you for your service to our country. A man who won't die for something is not fit to live. Martin Luther King, Jr. 1. Faith is the ability to not panic. 2. If you worry, you didn't pray. If you pray, don't worry. 3. As a child of God, prayer is kind of like calling home every day. 4. Blessed are the flexible, for they shall not be bent out of shape. 5. When we get tangled up in our problems, be still. God wants us to be still so He can untangle the knot. 6. Do the math. Count your blessings. 7. God wants spiritual fruit, not religious nuts. 8. Dear God: I have a problem. It's me. 9. Silence is often misinterpreted, but never misquoted. 10. Laugh every day, it's like inner jogging. 11. The most important things in your home are the people. 12. Growing old is inevitable, growing up is optional. 13. There is no key to happiness. The door is always open. 14. A grudge is a heavy thing to carry. 15. He who dies with the most toys is still dead. 16. We do not remember days, but moments. Life moves too fast, so enjoy your precious moments. 17. Nothing is real to you until you experience it, otherwise it's just hearsay. 18. It's all right to sit on your pity pot every now and again. Just be sure to flush when you are done. 19. Surviving and living your life successfully requires courage. The goals and dreams you're seeking require courage and risk-taking. Learn from the turtle -- it only makes progress when it sticks out its neck. 20. Be more concerned with your character than your reputation. Your character is what you really are while your reputation is merely what others think you are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted September 15, 2008 Share Posted September 15, 2008 Yippee- sorry for the disability you have due to AO- but glad they comped you for it! This is a good example of how the Nehmer decision works-they gave you some good retro on the EED- Sgt did they ever list the cancer as NSC in any old past decision you got? In some cases they owed mega years of retro for some AO disabilities that were previously listed as NSC in old ratings. Do you have the potential for SMC? 100% for AO SC lung cancer- plus 60 % or more SC for any other independent SC (like IVDS, Hearing loss etc-equals SMC. I have vet who also is trying to figure out CDRP CRSC stuff- it is confusing- I dont really know if AO disability is combat related for CRSC but then again- it was a weapon of mass destruction- Relax and enjoy this Victory!!!!! 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...
