I Won 100% Sc Back To 1995

[jtg1966]

got a call from my atty today...he said that i won 100%sc p&t back to 1995 with retro of 352,000.00...

i just got 50% back in janurary for bipolar....but the DRO lied about the effective date i.e...the director of the st pete varo sent 2 letters to my congressmen rep and senator stating that i was inappeal...the dro ignored that and just gave me back to the date of those letters....also my 50% award was based on inpatient clinical records spanning the last 55 days of service which i spent in a psych ward.....

with that said...i've been calling and writing everyone i could think of....the Secretary, the Congressmen, the VAOIG, the VAOGC...the press....i've called the Secretary everyday since the janurary award complaining about the VA lying to congress and how that is a crime under title 18, chapter 47, sec. 1001....i'd gone to the US attorney and the FBI, requesting that charges be filed...and then out of the blue....they called my atty...and I won back to my original claim in 1995 under 38 cfr 3.156© ...

haven't rec'd the money yet...but the atty assures me that it should be forthcoming by 04/09/

I won I won I won....dancing around nakedly...

after the atty's 30 pieces of silver i'll get in the neighborhood of 290,000.00 (that oughtta cover a house, a new motorcycle, several "escorts", and a new car) that's a joke mostly....i am planning on buying a house because as a 100%sc p&t vet i'm tax exempt as far as property taxes go, and i've been homeless on and off since service...i want a motorcyle, I plan on buying a used one...and i need a new car, because my current one is a jalopy...

I haven't rec'd the money yet...but the atty assures me that it should be forthcoming by 04/09

I'm still kind of in shock...I WON a 15 year battle with them SOB's...I won...holy cow batman...

I would sit on that money like a mother hen on her eggs. You won't get another chunk of money like that unless you win the lotto. Go see a fee base financial planner. You will sleep so much better knowing you have a pile to fall back on if something happens. Houses, cars, boats that is all consumption. Investing that money might be the wisest thing. You can live on your 100% day to day.

With that kind of money, you could go through a reputable investment firm like Edward Jones or another financial advisor, and buy Tax Free Municipal Bonds (that's right - TAX FREE) like I did,that pay about 6.5% a year after fees in bi-yearly payments, and still have the principal left for when the bonds expire to invest all over again.

You can take your tax free disability pension money, and invest it in tax free bonds, and come out a winner on both ends!

I realize that 6.5% sounds small; the rate is 8% before fees, and look at what a savings account pays these days. My credit union is paying .7% - that is 7 tenths of one percent - on savings accounts.

I invested $25,000. Fees were I can't remember - they were between $3,000 and $4,000. I will receive $2000 a year for at least 8 years - $16,000 on my $25,000 'savings account' minus the fee, and I net $12,000. And I still have the $25,000 I started with at the end of the bond life. Since I paid the fee up front, I get the $2000 a year which comes out to $166 a month. Do you see where I am going? You have all that money.

You could invest $200,000 of your money in these bonds and net out about $1328 a month in deposits from your bonds TAX FREE. TAX FREE! If your bond goes more than 8 years - like double that, you can double your initial stake in 16 years TAX FREE!

Municipal bonds are the most secure investment a person can make. You however have to be willing to forget you own that money except when receiving the bi-annual deposit of interest....

With the kind of money you received, you could get your pension, and if you can live on that, you could bank the bond interest and get richer without thinking! Please don't let some low life take advantage of you -

Just a thought - hope this helps somebody,
