Question

Just got a call from the VRE counselor that did my Independent Living assessment last friday. He told me that I was jusdt approved for TDIU and they were rating another new condition as well. Just waiting for the official letter within the next few days! Retro pay as well!

I just wanted to thank those that have help me and my family, finally get the benefits that I DESERVED!

I will pray for those still going through the process of fighting the VA to get the benefits that they DESERVE!

God Bless each and everyone of you! God Speed!

Sincerely,

This is how it went down:

Last Friday I had the ILS in-home assessment. The VRE counselor came and took pictures and ask detailed questions about my daily living! It lasted about 2 hours or so. We were talking about my condition and the chances of getting a favorable rating for TDIU. He stated that once he wrote the letter stating that I was unemployable that I would in all likely be given a favorable rating. He asked where my case was and I told him at the rating board on 5 March. He told me that there is no way that my case could be rated since it was only there for a few weeks. Anyways, he leaves, my wife goes to the mail box and gets a BIG white envelope...my rating decision! I was DENIED. By this time the VRE counselor had already left my house. So I call him and let him know what I discovered in my mailbox. He told me that He would pull my file and hand carry it down back to the raters with his letter!

I got a call yesterday stating that I was approved and should be awaiting my award letter this week!

Moral to the story:

IF YOU GET A VRE COUNSELOR LETTER STATING THAT YOU ARE UNEMPLOYABLE, THEN YOU WILL WIN YOUR TDIU CLAIM. PERIOD!

Hope this clarifies what happened in my case! Good Luck to those that are still fighting with the VA to get the benefits that we ALL DESERVE!

God Speed!

Great Job. Enjoy it. You deserve it,

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

Bravo 6,

Congrats !

It will still be awhile until you get the official rating

and the retro cash.

When you do get the retro, spend it wisely as this does not happen often.

Sum-a-na-gun! Congrat's!!

"May your water flow up hill, may the light of a billion fireflys light your path, may the painful gas be just gas-oline, and lastly--may the Great Swamee (VA) and a thousand virgins"...........sorry, I get carried away sometimes.

Stop, stretch, relax and enjoy yourself. The best to you and your's!!!!
