Hospitalized Again....diagnosis For Conversion Disorder

[Cherie33]

Hi All,

I have been having a hard time dealing with my disabilities, now yet another symptom. I began having pseudo-seizures again and this time it lead to left side paralysis. I was sent to the emergency room by my VA Primary Care Doctor (from his office). I spent three days in the hospital and was diagnosed with "Conversion Disorder". I'm sure most of you are aware that I am already 70% + IU. However, I am not P & T. My question is: Should I write to the VA and let them know about this and ask for P & T? Or do I need an IMO?

Thanks,

Cherie33

Hey All,

Since our last conversation regarding my diagnoses as "Conversion Disorder" by a neurologist from a hospital that I was hospitalized in, I meant to respond and say that I have been Service-connected since 1994. I started with 10% personality disorder.

Now I have found out that I have won my social security disability case, effective Jan. 2006, Medicare coverage effective June 2008. Once I receive my official letter as to my disability, I will be filing for Permanent & Total. in addition to my 70% + IU.

Think this over. If your 100% already (via I/U) why open this up for a possible negative rating. I'd let the April 2010 C&P follow-up (if it happens then) determine the TDIU.

If you have medical proofs that your condition is permanent in nature send it in, and ask to be made P&T. Why wait? I did not wait. I appealed my denial of P&T as soon as I got TDIU. My P&T went back to my original date of IU. The VA should handle it like a claim. It is a claim for benefits you have been denied meaning Chapter 35. I think you time for an appeal has run out so you have to send in your claim for P&T as a claim for an increase. If you wait for the C&P in 2010 and you don't get it then it is going to take another year to get it. That means 2011 and beyond.
