VetsLady Posted December 23, 2010 Author Share Posted December 23, 2010 (edited) Thank for you all of the kind words .... YES, this is a HUGE relief .... We are still in shock. His original claim was in 2003. Rec'd sc for 1 issue in 2008, then a BVA decision granting the remaining issue came in late this summer and he is also part of the Nehmer heart disease action -- that part of his claim is still in development. So there is still work being done but .... for now ...... it's a huger than HUGE relief and I thank all of you who offered your encouragement and kindness and there were some very rocky roads as well. Happy Holidays and wishing everyone a blessed and healthy 2011 ...

chr49 Posted December 24, 2010 Share Posted December 24, 2010 Received the unofficial word yesterday that my husband is now 100%, not yet sure if it's TDIU or P&T .... filed for IU but his conditions will only get worse and we had a statement from his doctor stating such. He hasn't been able to work due to sc conditions for the past 5 years ...... not sure yet if they are going back the 5 years for effective date (they should) or ... what. We'll probably hear details next week. Either way, it's a HUGE relief ... we can move forward from here. There is enough on our plate for now, it's still full but the cracks are mended. Thank you for all of the support and hand-holding, life rings, ladders ..... Thank you Hadit. Congratulations VetsLady! It's always great to receive news like this during the holidays. Hopefully it will be P&T. CHR49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VetsLady Posted December 24, 2010 Author Share Posted December 24, 2010 Thanks CHR49 ..... This has been an 8 year long journey since the initial date he filed his original claim. The last date he worked was a sad day that has been completely erased with todays news. VetsLady VetsLady and, Proud to Be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
