Complex Mingraine

[bguerrero]

Recieving 20% for HTN, suffered a stroke 8 weeks ago, had several since TIA's which now they tell me I having Complex's Mingraine which leaves paralysis on my right side up to 3 hours at a time. Any ideas on the rating on this? Now 8 weeks after the stroke I vary from 50%-90% as for recovery. When my body stresses I'm at the worst. Going to the VA tomorrow. Have not been to work in over 8 weeks, almost out of leave.Also been in and out of the hospital those 8 weeks.

Have you filed a claim for them?

These would be a slam dunk and immediatly ask for IU . Also consider your retirement options fromthe USPS.

Disability under fers is fairly quick.

Time to make plans. You will never be your old self again.

I file tomorrow with the VA. I have to look into my options with fers and the USPS. I'm not sure if thier still have the early retirement at 50 still. Just got all the medical records copied today and briefly talked to a DAV Rep. I'll find out more tomorrow. This just has me so worried, heard so many bad stories. This stroke has really changed my life.

Went to DAV got interviewed and he filed the claim. He wants me to have my doctor to write a letter that

1. State that the stroke and migraine is secondary to HTN.

2. All residuals that I have after the stroke.

3. Alittle bio of her self.

He mention if may take any where up to 9 -16 months!

If you have to quit working USPS make sure that your records state that your medical problems are affecting your ablility to continue working are the reasons for leaving.

Good luck!
