If You Received Sc For A Disability Less Than

[carlie]

Remember,

You can get the insurance anytime that you

have received SC for an original claim or have gotten

an additional disability SC'd.

You have two years from the date of the Rating Decision

to get the insurance.

Thanks for the tip. Just curious, do you know how much it costs, or is there a link to info on premiums?

I got a pamphlet for this in the mail last week. Here is a link to the online version of it:

http://www.insurance.va.gov/inforceglisite/forms/29-9.pdf

The pamphlet contains a good deal of information, including rate tables.

Would this apply to me if I had a new rating? I'm 100% P&T and have been for about 11-yrs. When I first started this mess with the VA, I had the DAV for a rep. & he tried (I thought then) selling me some life insurance. I said NO of course but didn't find out until yrs. later he was trying to get me into this type of life Ins. and when I became 100% the premiums would be paid (someone kick me).

thanks,

David

I bet if you keep going to the VA for treatment you can find something to claim as a disability. Chemical exposure is going to be an issue for all vets eventually I think. In my day it was AO and now maybe burnpits, jet fuel, and who knows what else. If you have your SMR's I bet there is something in there that you can get 10% for someway.

I personally know nothing about aftermarket insurance plans. I know I have life insurance through work, but hope not to use it for a long time.

Can someone please tell me if these plans are good deals? I am almost 40 years old.

dsqsr,

Yes, the 2 year limit applies to any new service-connection. If you are rated at 100% P&T already, and you get a new SC'ed condition, then you can apply and have the premiums paid for (it is coverage for $10,000). I just did it through my local Veterans Service Officer.

You must meet four criteria:

1. You were released from active service on or after April 25, 1951.

2. You were released under other than dishonorable conditions.

3. You have a service-connected disability.

4. You apply within 2 years from the date the VA grants your NEW service-connected disability.
