Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
ping jockey 33
Hello,
Been a while since I've posted, and I spent a few hours trying to find the answers to my quesitions tonight.
I do want to extend my thanks to T-bird, Berta, and all the Elders who support this site. Because of you I'm now rated 60% instead of 10%.
Currently, I'm trudging the road toward Voc Rehab approval, and here is the situ.
I finish my Accounting Degree in 8 months.
I applied for VR in Nov to get my masters degree.
Getting a CPA license now requires 150 college credits.
The masters program starts Spring 2012; Fall 2011 in not realistic.
Met with counselor.
Dr. Cleared me for training.
VRC told me to gather ALL the education info for getting a CPA license.
I submitted it, and he's asking for an "Education Plan".
I have to finish my Accounting Degree before getting into the Master Program.
Counselor, says my application can't stay in "one" status to long, and he is asking my permission to "disconnect my claim".
1. What is an "Education Plan"?
2. Should I disconnect my claim, and reapply in 2/3 months?
3. Should I keep it active, and move forward?
4. Is keeping an application in "one status" a real issue for the VRC, and/or me?
5. What's the big deal on time? It's takes a lot of time, and work to prep for Grad School anyway.
6. HOW do I keep this alive, and moving forward?
Again, thank you all for your dedication to helping Vets.
I had many dark nights at sea, and for 5 years after discharge.
Discovering Hadit was like seeing the crack of dawn, and experiencing the calm after a Typhoon in the South Pacific.
