luvHIM Posted May 7, 2009 Share Posted May 7, 2009 (edited) Thank you all so very much for just being here. I am so happy right now...I really don't know what else to post. I would like help on how to win my claim for Migraines, which I know is separate from the Fibromyalgia. Anyway...other than that I am happy with the outcome and much relieved that it is finally (somewhat) over. HUGS!!!!

carlie Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 luvHIM, Since you are now SC'd at 100 percent Permanent & Total with an effective date back to 2007 --- what additional benefit do you feel you will get in winning your claim for Migraines. If it's not going to provide you any additional benefits then I would let it go and start enjoying everything in life I can and keep myself as healthy as possible, this is only my opinion. Keep in mind that yes you now have SC @ 100 %, P&T -- but this rating has not been in effect long enough to fall under the rules of Protection. I am not trying to be a nay-sayer, just keeping your head level. You might want to check this out too.

purple Posted May 8, 2009 Share Posted May 8, 2009 Congrats on your claim! I have to agree w/Carlie. Once awarded 100% it's usually best to leave well enough alone. I know that for me, I have other medical conditions that I could get SCd for, but I know better than to have to VA go poking around with a good thing. Just my 1/2 cent worth.

luvHIM Posted May 8, 2009 Author Share Posted May 8, 2009 Thanks Carlie and Purple. Carlie, girlllllllllll pleezzzzzzzzzzze...I have read enough here on Hadit to know that P&T means nothing when it comes to the VA. I'm keepin it real...trust me. Hadit is also good for helping a vet with that The Migraines have been incorporated with the Fibro but they are a totally separate and unrelated condition. I know I always said if I got to 100%...I would leave well enough alone...so, perhaps it is best, as you say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
