BoonDoc Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 About an hour ago my wife brought me a "big white envelope" from my VARO. TDIU 100% P&T with no future C&P's scheduled. Back Payment goes back to AUG. 2006. I thought that I was 70%, but I was 60% going into this claim. So now I'm Scheduler 80% - 100% TDIU T&P. I got all of the forms for benefits of being TDIU 100% T&P: My wife is so excited, I feel depressed as hell, I don't quite understand why...I was happy when I got a call from the VA back in November 2009, and thought that when I got the "big white envelope" I would be screaming and jumping up and down, as high as I can. Maybe after I process this, I will get excited again. I know that I could have never got it without Hadit.com, and all of you who give advice that can be backed up with the CFR. The letter said I will get the backpay in 15 days from 15 DEC 2009, we'll see...I'll be watching that online checking account every morning for sure. Thank all of you who help people like me to get through this maze of red tape! Oh they denied a bunch of the claimed disabilities I claimed SC for; right now I can't handle dealing with them...maybe I'll mark the calendar for 3 months away and then re-think my strategy...or is it even worth it? Lady-T, thank you, blessings and peace to you for this site, and all that you do for disabled veterans!

carlie Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 WAHOO - YIPPEE - CONGRATS. Now on another note - that let down feeling part does not usually start so quickly - normally those feeling start about 1 or 2 weeks after the rating decision is promulgated. Anyway - when the money hits,you will feel better for a while. Spend the retro wisely as it does not come often. jmho, carlie Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed.

Moderator pacmanx1 Posted December 18, 2009 Moderator Share Posted December 18, 2009 Congrats, ;) :) B) My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.
