Va Beat Me Down, Time To Limp Away And Move On

[JHawks]

Thanks you to everyone for their support and ideas. The time has come to stop the addiction to the forums. My review claim was denied when I know it should have been approved. Good Grief, it should have been a no brainer. I have been prescribed a brace to support a malunion of my tib-fib on a SC ankle. I had all the medical records to support the claim. They say my ankle is stable enough not to need a brace even though it was prescribed by both a pediotrist and Ortho Dr. I don't have it in me to file an appeal and let this drag on for years and years. They beat me down and I need to limp away before I go nuts. Thanks everyone.

I agree with AKWidow thanks for your input

Outstanding! Regroup and show them the persaverance that you acquired in the service! Don't let them win. As many have said, that is their goal. I just got my 87 year old WWII vet father-in-law a pension. He should have been receiving this pension for over 20 years because his income is only social security. He went to the VA all of those years and got care as a wartime vet, but no one ever took him aside and told him to file for a pension. Hang in there and eventually you will receive the savings account that the VA is earning interest off of :D

Ok, I have backed off for a few days to get my poop in a group and respond. Thank you all for your encouragement and the slaps on the back of my head in order to get my attention.

The torment may come from the injustice, and the pain underscores the issue. I appreciate the feeling of just wanting to let it go and writing it off as a bad debt. If it could only be that easy. Freedom is elusive, and the cure is seeing it through to the end. I wish you peace.

There are times that I wish I could just walk away from all things VA. You are not alone.

Had you applied for a V.A. clothing allowance? Did V.A. then state there was no medical necessity for the brace?

I have in fact applied for clothing allowance but won't know until the fall. The VA has never stated I didn't need the brace. In fact even my VA Podiatrist noted in my records I require the VA brace that my private Podiatrist.
