tssnave Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Bonzi, YIPPEEE!!! YEAAAAAAA!!! I am really thrilled for you!! Congrats on hanging in there, especially when the VA phone rep said she couldn't verify your percentage but could verify your retro (how stupid is that?). I totally agree with what Larry wrote - the aftermath of getting your VA award can knock you for a loop for all the reasons he stated. Now, I'm bipolar so perhaps my reaction was a bit extreme, but I had been rapid cycling with mania most of the time I was working my claim around the clock reading, researching, writing, printing, reading, researching.............and after I got 100% P&T I went into a months long depression. Even though I am bipolar and live with flucuating moods and had been forwarned there might be an emotional rollercoaster ride after the final Decision, I was caught off guard by the intensity of my depression and almost bewilderment that it was really, truly, finally over (at least for now). Congratulations and God speed! TS Snave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted November 1, 2009 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted November 1, 2009 Great, now just take a few weeks off and go on vacation or something. You can start to plan your life post decision after you get back. I would put any retro in the bank for emergencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harvey Posted November 1, 2009 Share Posted November 1, 2009 Bonzi great news. That letter is the best feeling in the world except the birth of your children and the ride on that freedom bird back home. Enjoy yourself for awhile and i know the grandbaby will keep you busy the rest of the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
