Question
MikeS
Hi all:
I posted about my case before, but I am now ready to appeal.
Housebound denied because I keep my VA medical appointments.
Also, housebound denied because a recent Progress Note said that I go to a gym.
1. Does keeping VA medical appointments disqualify me from the housebound benefit?
2. The Progress Note that the VA claims person referred to does not say that I go to a gym. My VA Doc was simply describing the mental and physical difficulties that happen to me when I "used" to go to a gym once in a while over a year before the date of this Progress Note. I told my VA Doc about his misinterpreted Progress Note. He made a new Progress Note explaining that I had not gone to a gym in a year and a half, and that I stay isolated. He also wrote that it became a financial burden for me to buy a home a few blocks from the VA outpatient clinic. He also noted that I moved so close to the VA because being out in public has become so horribly difficult for me.
Is this new Progress Note considered new material?
Any thoughts?
