[Done wit this]

I guess all the Iris InQuiries I have done on My shoulder Percentages has made the VARO schedual Me for a new exam..for my shoulders it only took 9 months ...I hope the same CnP examiner is not there .. HE WAS LIKE 90 WHEN HE DID THE FIRST ONE. any idea if he is still there, Berta? Also when they sent me for the re exam at the Buffalo VAMC .. :) They were the ones who ripped my left shoulder at that exam... I just had that repaired in january... have not worked sence that CnP exam .... What now..

Did you appeal SSDI? Most don't get it first time around unless you have all your ducks lined up.

SSDI.. said no.. I have not worked in just under 2 years --August --- recovering from surgery now to only get the other side done... : (

[Done wit this]

I have tryed SSDI a few times over the years ..after shoulder surgeries,when doctors told me to file. only to be turned down.. My age ..45 says I can work ..although my shoulder,s tell me I can't

I really don't want to be on the retired list yet.. but I guess..after 2 years I am on it now : (

Rick- I didnt understand this-

are you saying they still are giving you 50% but sent you the TDIU form?

On the form make sure you can add additional pages if needed and tell them under # 25 Remarks you have added more-any side affects of the meds you take that hinder employment and anything else whatsoever that would support the TDIU claim.

Did the C & P doctor make a TDIU statement in his/her C & P report?

In your IMos did these doctors say you were unemployable due to this disability?

Rick- I didnt understand this--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Yes -----------------------------------------------------------------------They said I could not work at my current job .Union Carpenter any further because of the Injuries..written right in there.The CnP exam .

Yes they awarded Me 50% thats fair for My shoulders since I can't do 1/2 the things I could before this Mess..

I have to resubbmitt the NOD for the EED on the Right side to get the retro for that side..I would Imagine because of the date applied 06/1994. so This month Apply for IU and send in a NOD for EED right shoulder Higher Percentage. Thats why I did not have the surgery on that side first because then, they would have weaseled out of it...Like a chess game we must play this game with our minds ,that the VA makes us Play..

I need Help with all of this and who do I go see,at the Bath VA-- GG? Ya Right.
