banchie Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 (edited) Yes, its a victory for me. I fought the VA since the day I got home from nam on this PTSD. Several months back they mailed me a box with 28 pounds of paper evidence and said not to re-submit it anymore, it has been reviewed. I had a C&P in 2005 and they moved me from 30% to 50% last year, and in that letter they explained what they would accept for 80% & 100%. I sent off an appeal in Jan. giving them a description with examples for everything they had on their list for 80% & 100% that was the same as my PTSD symptons. Today I get a letter, they gave me 100% PTSD with no C&P exam, nothing. As for me, it is about time, and 40 years late, as nothing has changed in my behavior in that time. I am astonished, simply in a friggin daze. My Vietnam war is finally over, I hope. Thanks for the support given here.

Den Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Glad you finally got what you deserve and showing it does pay not to quit or give up when dealing with the VA. Unfortunately the PTSD never goes away but maybe you can learn to control it a little,at least your war with the VA is over. den Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted July 13, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted July 13, 2006 Banchie: If you are like me the Victory is having the VA recognize the injury to your health. You will still have PTSD but you should have less stress and some security. I am glad that you won it has been a long time. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

mssoup1 Posted July 13, 2006 Share Posted July 13, 2006 Banchie, Congratulations on your win. My husband just recently got 100% I/U P & T, no future exams, and it was like a huge rock had been lifted off of me, since we had been at this for many years. Hope things go well for you now, as I am sure they will. Don't forget to apply for any extra beenies if you are P & T, no future exams. mssoup1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
