carlie Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Congrats on the increase. Moving from 30 % to 50 % affords you some additional benefits. No co-pays for one. VA will take care (ha) of ALL of your medical needs now whether SC'd or not. carlie Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted November 24, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 24, 2008 Good Job. That 6.5 years will make for a nice retro check. J 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 November 25, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 25, 2008 If you are not able to work you should appeal the award and ask to be rated 100% TDIU due to service connection. Congrats nice Xmas present. I went from 0 to 30% to 50% to 70% to 100% in almost 2000 days Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life. The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

Berta Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Great news and Pete is right !!!!!!! 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...
