Question

I'm still working on getting all my stuff together to file my claim. My therapist told me it would be great if i could get documentation of treatment rcvd outside of the VA. well, seeing how i have been pushing the issue aside for 20 years, i never kept records. just out of curiosity, i called the insurance company i had with fedex at one point. they had a record of a referral from 2000. wooohoooo! now if i could just remember who fedex used in the mid 90s....it just made my day to hear them say they had that pc of paper. after all these years, i may get some long over due relief. its almost as if my pain has been validated.

i just realized as i was reading over all this that i have an acquaintance who was around in the early 90s when i was hospitalized twice over suicide attempts. he was a superior at work. and then there was something about financial references in sharon's post. hell, i just filed 13 last year and had to convert to a 7 this year. and there's a few other things i can dig out. so, its all coming together for me. slowly but surely i am compiling my documentation. if i knew all those years ago i would need this stuff, i would have kept better records. then again, if i knew what was going on with me, i wouldnt have ended up suicidal!

how do they determine unemployability? does anyone know?

CLW, things do seem like they are lining up for you! You are doing great. Having a witness is very positive. Keep putting the pieces together and you will prevail.

gosh, isn't that the truth........makes me wish that I could grab each new "enlistee" by the collar, give them a good shaking, and whisper that statement into their ears!

You hang in there, it can be done, and you are one that can do it.

Read, very throughly, Sharon's post. It appears to be a perfect roadmap to success with your claim.

G-d bless you.

We are here for you, again and again here I learn, medical documentation validates. I am not familiar with all your posts, but wonder if you recieve any current medical care for the assault or extending issues AFter it? That could help too. Myself, had to get through a few providers to have my experience documented correctly, even though I had police, squadron, etc reports.

Best to ya,

Cg'up2009!
