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

Carlie, im not trying to upset you im sorry if I am or did sir.

I am asking does the Cp exam normally word statement does the Veteran Know the Benefit amount?Doctor says yes.

Im copying what report says word for word so asking do normal Cp exam report use wording like this , do you understand why im so confused?

Im new to Whole VA system thus my lack of knowledge.

Been waiting 7 years for it but as said, dont know steps that is why was asking and reading here so could better understand it.

Im asking why did doctor use language like he did in his report? Do they Normally word it that way.

thanks Man

AlekseiFl,

To my knowledge the answer would be NO.

This question,

"I am asking does the Cp exam normally word statement does the Veteran Know the Benefit amount?Doctor says yes."

I do not feel this is a standard question regarding the Benefit amount

Because

THE BENEFIT HAS NOT BEEN GRANTED YET.

Here is my issue with my lawyer hes been lawyer does SSD/SSI for 31 years straight but when he became my lawyer he told me he was learning VA system and he would do MY VA claim Pro-Bono.

About 1 year ago he said he to Hire VA expert with 34 years exp and that My Service connection Disablity Compsenation would now be 20% of my backpay for this expert dont know if he useing VSO and saying he paying someone taking it his self.

Im so Conflicted about what to do with my Lawyer.

Hes been my Lawyer for 4 years and still im at zero percent with all my condtions and NO SSD or SSI.

For Disablity been waiting 7 years.

If was to Fire my Lawyer would that mess up my SSD and service connection Pension claims?

No im Not trying to Rush it, just feel because he Newbie to VA he really droped the ball, he really good lawyer but he has tons of clients with his wife his Law Partner.

I need advice because if going to do it, need to do it soon.

I wont do it if I end up screwing my VA and SSD-SSI up and haveing to pay him, his expert and new lawyer, please some advice anyone.

thanks

Futhermore would have to pay New Lawyer and still have to pay Old Lawyer.

Have you talked to the Lawyer about it. It may not seem like it but you also had an agreement with the Lawyer and they usually get paid a back percentage of any retro that is recovered.

I think that if it remains an issue that you can complain to the VA

[AlekseiFL]

Hey know this aint SSD forum but as told you all im geting zero SSD and zero SSI and zero Disablity Compsenation service connected so anyway.

6 weeks ago had my SSD Hearing after waiting 3 years for it.

Judge said he was Holding off on making Decision till saw Civlian Mental Health Doctor Friday agust 21,2009.

Anyone here wanna guess why? New Doctor dont have none my VA records is it just to confirm im disabled before he issues SSD and SSI award?

1) Have you not filled out a release of information from

VA to SSA and from SSA to VA - if not - why not ?

2) Judge is not making a decision to either grant or deny SSA benefits

until he gets a report from the doctor and factors that medical evidence

into the adjudication of your claim for SSA benefits.

jmho,
