HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted December 2, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 2, 2008 I agree with Shane. Continuity of treatment is required. If a vet stops getting treatment, boom, here comes an exam. Stopping treatment is considered a red flag. J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder cowgirl Posted December 4, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 4, 2008 (edited) Well stated, I agree with being proactive. With IU as any other compensation, we have to keep the hard earned medical care benefits working for us and of course use the difficult VA regulations on whathaveyou. Dont give up or give in. I'm a vet with 'health impaired' life, not a 'VA' life. Cg'up! I'm sorry, Jon, but I totally disagree with that statement. We have complete control over what they do with our ratings. We HAVE to continue seeking medical care for our disabilities. We HAVE to continue to order our prescribed medications for our disabilities in a timely manner. We HAVE to continue to send in the employment forms in a timely manner. We HAVE to know the current status of our disabilities, as well as the current rating criteria. If we stay on top of all these things, then they cannot take our ratings away because they will have no ammunition to use against us. We have to stay one step ahead of them at all times. That does not mean that we should spend every waking hour worrying about it. It means that we need to empower ourselves so they cannot turn our lives upside down.
