That was good Mike!!!!

pr

How do they handle the fact that yes it rises but it won't stay up long enough to do the act and some of us due to heart conditions can't take Viagra or Cialis so the act itself is impossible I came to terms years ago my sex like was over if I ever want to commit suicide I will get a Viagra prescription and die from getting an erection that would last long enough for me to have that "big one" Sandford and son was always talking about the there is always the side effect from zoloft where you can get an erection but you can't ever complete the act my 3rd wife loved that side effect but after 1 or 2 hours talk about frustration I felt like shooting myself

now what scared me most was the clinic at the VAMC I go to where they use this 80 year old lady as the counselor she was awfully willing to show me how to inject myself with a needle to create a lasting erection I took the pump instead she was just to willing to want to stick a needle in my "little friend" and her glee scared me sorry I don't miss sex that much she was scary and I have lot's of Memories kind of like Bob Hopes theme song "thanks for the memories" I would rather keep breathing than try and die from having another roll in the hay....

but I don't need 94 a month bad enough to let them attach electrodes to the family jewels regardless of the voltage with my luck someone would make a mistake and instead of using the trickle charge I would get the 220....

For those that can't due to secondary issues created by medications and feel they should be receiving the K award more power to you Like I tell my wife when I die I promise she will get DIC every month (sorry I coudn't resist)

carlie - cute!!! they probably will, now that you've suggested it!!

pr,

All this time I thought they hooked your testicles up to jumper cables

that were connected to a dead battery -

showed you some amerous flash card and if you made the battery

show a voltage increase - the claim for ED was denied.

I agree. This is part of the new wing they are adding to all of the VA urology clinics. Lava lamps will also be on every desk and funky music will play in the background. A bead curtain will connect it to the VA Canteen store. A 'special' novelty section will require proof of age before entering. The pharmacy will be downsized and replaced with Levitra vending machines.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.   
    • Welcome to hadit!  

          There are certain rules about community care reimbursement, and I have no idea if you met them or not.  Try reading this:

      https://www.va.gov/resources/getting-emergency-care-at-non-va-facilities/

         However, (and I have no idea of knowing whether or not you would likely succeed) Im unsure of why you seem to be so adamant against getting an increase in disability compensation.  

         When I buy stuff, say at Kroger, or pay bills, I have never had anyone say, "Wait!  Is this money from disability compensation, or did you earn it working at a regular job?"  Not once.  Thus, if you did get an increase, likely you would have no trouble paying this with the increase compensation.  

          However, there are many false rumors out there that suggest if you apply for an increase, the VA will reduce your benefits instead.  

      That rumor is false but I do hear people tell Veterans that a lot.  There are strict rules VA has to reduce you and, NOT ONE of those rules have anything to do with applying for an increase.  

      Yes, the VA can reduce your benefits, but generally only when your condition has "actually improved" under ordinary conditions of life.  

          Unless you contacted the VA within 72 hours of your medical treatment, you may not be eligible for reimbursement, or at least that is how I read the link, I posted above. Here are SOME of the rules the VA must comply with in order to reduce your compensation benefits:

      https://www.law.cornell.edu/cfr/text/38/3.344

       
    • Good question.   

          Maybe I can clear it up.  

          The spouse is eligible for DIC if you die of a SC condition OR any condition if you are P and T for 10 years or more.  (my paraphrase).  

      More here:

      Source:

      https://www.va.gov/disability/dependency-indemnity-compensation/

      NOTE:   TO PROVE CAUSE OF DEATH WILL LIKELY REQUIRE AN AUTOPSY.  This means if you die of a SC condtion, your spouse would need to do an autopsy to prove cause of death to be from a SC condtiond.    If you were P and T for 10 full years, then the cause of death may not matter so much.
