eagle-eye Posted September 12, 2011 Author Share Posted September 12, 2011 treat yourself to a well earned vacation .You have earned it. My husband likes the way you think. .He's itching to take a small, relaxing break. He's had to carry a lot of the weight with raising our boys and all the domestic stuff that goes along with that. Also, he works a full-time job. I'm very fortunate in the "Spouse Department". You know you have grown old when you hear your favorite song in an elevator.

Berta Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 WOW_this s GREAT NEWS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I can feel your relief over the hyperspace air waves! "now have to gear up for the Judicial hearing for appealing my SSD." This award should help with that. Do you have a SSA lawyer helping you? "during an assualt" was that an in service assault? If so did you claim the headaches as secondary? GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
navydoc2 Posted September 12, 2011 Share Posted September 12, 2011 Congrats! always great to hear success stories. I was granted IU in late '09, and had an exam scheduled for aug '11. I waited a few months after the IU award and filed a NOD for the P/T and was granted it in Jun of '10, I believe you can do the same as long as your SC issues are going to be static in nature as they say. Great news again, spend wisely and don't forget to check your state benefits as well. /doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm seeing more specialist now and dealing with other sc issues that weren't even included in the initial claim. As long as I can stay focused and not procrastenate...i'm so bad about that.
