Sorry for posting this here but it seems the majority of people are in this area. I just needed to let this out after finding out about my TDIU this week.
Hadit Members, Americans, and Fat Cat Politicians,
I cried this week more than I have in the last 2 years. I cried everyday for the last two years. I received TDIU P&T from the Veterans Administration this week after being embarrassed and denied by the Social Security (SS) administration. I guess I shouldn't be so mad at SS they have only caused me stress for six months. The VA has stressed me out for 14 years. It is hard enough for a Marine to break down and cry because the pain is so bad, but the mental stress is what puts you a step away from suicide. Whatever the condition is does not matter when it takes your whole life away from you and you become some kind of angry, depressed monster walking around in your old body. As if this wasn't bad enough you have to face the fact you can't pick your kids up. They were 1,2 and now 3 and 4. I can't pick them up because the pain is so severe that it makes me want to puke. I can't go a day without having multiple panics attacks where I feel like I am going to die.
Thank you BVA for denying all my claims in March 2008. My family has gone through hell the last year and a half since you lost my evidence. Thank you RO for lying to my face at my hearing and then sticking it to me behind my back in your decision. I'm 37 and the last normal day I had was when I was 23. 24 years old and your life is gone. You turn to drugs, alcohol, anything to kill the pain, the guilt, the embarrassment, the anger. I loved hearing people tell me I didn't rate VA disability pay because I was working. Yes working and then coming home and taking my day out on my family or worse yet disappearing to the bedroom because you cant sit. This country has let me down. I can't believe I actually thought joining the Marines was patriotic and I was serving my country. Serving for what? So my family and I could be treated like this? So all these people writing on these forums could be treated like this?
Now I get TDIU and it's all okay. No its not okay. You broke me and you can never take that back. Yet all I see on the TV is talk about socialism and health care, etc. How about the Veterans? I promise you VA; I will make you do your job effectively by helping any Veteran that asks me help them. I will continue to protest and fight the government until my ashes are spread out over a peaceful lake that has no agenda, no politics, no greed, no BS.
