as part of the ILP program my counselor approved a ramp be built for the wheel chair, I just talked to the rep friday and the construction crew is here today to build it, I asked him if he had a business license in my town and he said no, I told him then not to be shocked if the cops come by and shut him down for no business license nor a building permit, it is their responsibility to get those items not mine but I can't fault the ILP program, they are also paying for a hospital type bed for me we have to go tomorrow and pick out the mattress and bed rail (I keep falling out of bed) and my wife is afraid I will break some bones with all the weight I have lost in the past few months rofl

Pete he called while I was in the hospital from June 10- 28th for that last round of CHF 14 days of it in ICU, and my wife told him that if that didn't do this stuff pretty soon there may not be any more days to "play" with it I started this back in 2006, when they bought be the computer and printers and photo equipment when Voc Rehab said I couldn't work anymore due to my SC issues and I was rated at 100% P&T so I am surprised that my case file is even still open, but he seems to be bending over backwards to get everything my wife says I need to be properly cared for at home in the time we have left I wish the cardiac clinic was operating at the same speed to get my AICD/pacemaker installed.....

they finished the ramp about 2:30 took 3 of them about 6 hours and he said he will be back later in the week to put in the bathtub lift and he suggested that I get the VA to put in a small deck around the pool and put a lift in for the swimming pool as it is theraputic for me to swim and excercise I didn't even know they make them for a pool

Carlie I am surprised about how nice the Voc Rehab guy is being 5 years into this I thought they were only supposed to keep these files open for about 2 years I might be wrong but I feel like I am getting great service from them now. I wonder what caused the sea change in them?

I don't know if it was the diagnosis of end stage congestive heart failure 3 months ago or he just decided to do his job right but we are happy with all they are doing now

      VA Disability Payment Schedule for 2025

      VA Disability Rates 2025

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
