Cp Exam Done My Appeal Need Help Please!

[AlekseiFL]

Hey All,

Its Very hard for me to write, due to im on 27 prescitptions a day im very , very medicated so forgive my mistkes please.

Ive been turned down for VA Pension before and My Case for pension is on Appeal atm.

Im Disabled Vet I received Medical Honorable Discharge but have been fighting for pension for very long time.

I am 100% Disabled I have zero income im awaiting SSD/SSI hearing and Miltary Pension have Lawyer.

Im not geting any Navy Pension at all.

I have Chrons Disease,Ulcertive Coltis,Chronic Abdomional Pain,Bio Polar 2,Anxiety Disorder,Depression Disorder,PST and geting checked for sleep apnea as well, as Nurelogy issue with tremors.

I just Had Cp-Pension meeting with the Doctor he was very understanding and also by the way was Retired Navy Captain as well as Doctor.

He told me was supposed to see them In 2007 Cp Pension but had Missed it, I never new about it, was bunch them was sick for.

Anyway Retired Navy Captain at my Cp-Pension exam was very nice, understanding at end he Told me here is what happens, In about 6 weeks will get Award Letter from VA.

He Knows have no income and maybe homeless soon, so he told me dont worry im reviewed you medical info and your 100% Disabled , he said futhermore he was Recommending that I get 100% Service Connected.

I was Stunned to say the Least had heard and been waiting years to get even any percent, always felt 1 day if didnt die 1st or die due to sucide 1st that would get 100% pension.

So asked the Doctor at cp pension exam what does that mean will get what % he said since been waiting years and years with nothing and medical documents are so through that I would for sure get 50% at very least to 100% max full service connected with backpay told me, award letter will come to me in 6 weeks.

Here is My issue he told me that for sure slam dunk that at very least would get 50% to start with backpay service connected up to 100% to start but my Pension is on Appeal so does what doctor told me is that true will find out in 6 weeks?

I run out of rent vouchers in 2 monthes will be homeless if not have , cat and dog, I dont smoke or drink, and no drugs.

I spoke to my Lawyer he said even Know were appealing he said , all their waiting on his Cp pension exam results to decide on my case, but have heard from others, you need Pension Hearing before they decide , but my lawyer told me pension hearing most time are useless, they can decide without you going to one.

But VA people told me could be years for appeal Process, like said so is what doctor told me true will find out cp - pension award letter in 6 weeks, and my long suffering will be over and be to move out of this crappy hotel, in very bad neighboorhood?

Even if get 50-100% pension service connected will get few years backpay so be to move to decent area and get car again, and have income to get basic needs, till get my SSD hearing and backpay from that.

I know im hard to follow, please help me its all My meds im on.

thank you

Update part 2

Today-Saturday got letter from VA stateing and will write word for word.

here we go.

VA Rating Decision, dated September 1,2009 granted entitement to service connection for Biopolar Disorder[claimed as anxiety and depression].This is considered a complete grant of this issue and it will be removed from your appeal.You will be notified if this decision under separate cover.

So basically above they say granted full complete grant what does that mean what is Max percent or lowest would get from that?

Rest of letter says they denied Crhon's Disease,Ulcertive coltis, Chronic Adominal Pain,PST,Disaccoative disorder.

So other condtions have to sign this letter and appeal them to the BVA.

But for Biopolar says the DRO and rateing board granted a complete grant and removed them from appeal.

So Now im waiting for the 2nd letter to come in next 5-6 days by thursday of next week.

Question is How much percent are we talking about for full grant of Bioploar with anxiety depression as well?

Please someone knows the max for this let me know please.

[AlekseiFL]

Update part 3 please read part 2 so understand 3 ok?

Update 3 Question when get Award letter how fast will I get the Money?

Furthmore I think their making me do Social work Assesment which means -to see if need Payee or not.

If that is case im told that have 60 days to get that done?

To Speed that up me geting the money.

Could i write letter to VA waiveing my rights to get social work assesment done?

Thus saying in Letter I want my mother as payee, so skip the 5-8 weeks delay?

If set my mother up as payee , I can Later peition to have myself compent as payee to handle my own money right?

So after get Award letter how soon will get my money what is shortest? What is longest?

[AlekseiFL]

anyone Know what the % is for DRO appeal full Complete Grant on Bioploar Disorder [anxiety disorder, Depression disorder]?

please read update 2 and 3 1st.

How soon when get award letter this week, will get the backpay?

To speed it up if I waive being comptent and ask to assign my mother as payee would that help.

Im asking award letter is mailed dont know percent till get it, could get my money by This Friday even?

I think you should wait for the award letter.(un;ess the money comes first)

It is hard to determine what rating they will give you-

have they actually suggested proposing incompetency?

They usually only do that if awards are retro involving $25,000 or more for vets with mental disabilities.

I would wait to see what exactly the VA says as to that.I sure dont think anything at this point will speed up the money or the competency issue.

The award might have gone to Finance to vut the check -why raise competency issue as maybe they didnt even consider it .

If you have direct deposit check your account every week too.

I always got the money before the letter came- but it is hard for any of us to give accurate projections here as to what the rating will be and if they proposed incompetency.

I know how miserable it can be to know they made a decision and as you said you are at 0 % now (I assume you mean "0" SC and not NSC (BIG difference) and you do expect some retro-

but only the actual letter from the VA will answer your questions.
