JustPLS Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Well done - congratulations! Pat I wonder if I would have all the medical conditions that I have now if I had never joined the Army. I'm pretty sure the answer would probably be no. When I look around and see others my age who were not in the service, most of them look pretty healthy. Do you think all the employees of the VA really understand that it is ONLY because we served that their positions even exist?

carlie Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Angelo, Congrats. Try to spend your retro wisely and don't go buying a bunch of expensive stuff and having big payments each month. You should be able to live well on the IU if you don't go wild. YIPEE.................. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted June 29, 2010 Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2010 Congrats 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.

In Memoriam Stretch Posted June 29, 2010 In Memoriam Share Posted June 29, 2010 Congratulations Angelo Don't forget the important Chapter 35 StretchJust readin the mail Excerpt from the 'Declaration of Independence' We have appealed to their native justice and magnanimity, and we have conjured them by the ties of our common kindred to disavow these usurpations, which, would inevitably interrupt our connections and correspondence. They too have been deaf to the voice of justice and of consanguinity Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
