Question

Recently I have posted a few discussions on the BVA forum and Success Forum.
a little background, my husband is sc for AO DM2 and related conditions.....in speaking with the VA today,
they said a Nehmer claim has already been opened for him due to IHD and we don't need to file one or
a reopening of his DM2 claim. Is this right ... ?
Also, please lift me my spirits - it's been an almost 8 year wait to get his appeal sc (not the DM2 issue, something else)
Finally, BVA sc him....he had an exam recently by QTC - the doctor told us it was only to determine his current disability....
not a rating exam and she had no prior medical records....it was in her words "the VA wanted me to see him, exam him
and send in my findings".......I'm trying keep the holes patched in the boat best I can ... we have Hardship attached and
Congressional Inquiry.....I know things will be what they are and we are in line just like everyone else....
What I need is a pat on the shoulder or one to shed a few tears on....actually, as I write this they are pouring down my face....
Due to medical reasons, it's been a severe financial hardship....he was a Cat 8 up until his sc in 08 so all of his chemo treatment
was from private doctors since at that time we had insurance that picked up 80% - but when we're talking 6500 a month in RX's
and we're paying 20% for 2 years, I wonder if I can file to get it reimbursed.....if he'd had treatment at the VA Center, they would
not have done what his private doctors did for him.....I know that, unfortunate as it seems. I always said we'd spend every dime
we had to ensure he receives treatment he needed and it looks like that is what's happened.
I really need uplifting comments right now, I'm carrying alot of weight on my shoulders and my support system is very minimal......
It's tough enough dealing with a chronic disabling illness and add to that 8 years of dealing with the VA, any encouraging words
would be appreciated.
Thank you for your time....
