Decision And Developemeny

[walt]

Hello everyone.

I have multiple conditions I am trying to get sc for.I have sent in more evidence since it went to decision ...if ebenefits is up to date...Depends on who you talk to at the1000 number as to info you get.I even had one to tell me to hurry up..he had people waiting.I did not have a very favorable response from the c and p Dr. So I am trying to combat him ,although the two conditions he hurt me on,will not ,if I understand things corecctly will not prevent me from getting 100 % sc.He stated that my Lbp waso/a related to age and began after discharge. ( 1983) I have diagnosis of LBPand treatment for since mid seventies until present but no reason as to cause. He stated,It seems likely his multiple health conditions limit his abiliyt to work to sendentary employment such as using a computer. He had asked me what I did and I told him nothing except work in the garden and stay on computer,so I assume that is why he said that.He also said ..I am unable to determine to what extent his chronic anxiety condition has on his ability to work.I sent an IMO from a Phy. Asisstant stating...in part,I am familiar with the MVA Mr Veteran suffered in 1977,fracturing his pelvis.Records show soon after the fact show that mr veterans pain centered mainly around the l5 region not un common in my pratice in some chronic pain pelvic fracture cases.This chronic pain is debilitating to mr veteran ,precluding him from sitting longer than one hour at a time,standing even more difficult,not to mention ambulation.

Far more pressing is the issue of Mr.veterans chronic anxiety dis order.This began in 1974 ,specifficallywhile he was stationed at Lyster Army Hospital.,the account of which is in cluding in a letter from John Doe III MD.for your reading.This is by far the most chronic and recurring issue throughout Mr. Veterans Va eacords as well as private records.Chronic anxiety disorder has resulted in multiple er visits for chest pain and dificulty beathing,and were diagnosed as stess related during his service years.Records show mr veteran being chronically treated Throughout the years since 1974 as well as curently with multiple anti depressant and anti anxiety medications.It has ultimately precluded him from consistently being gainfully employed,as well as somnstimes affecting his ADLs.After reviewing Mr.veterans medical records it is my opinion tha tMr veteran is permanetly and totally disabled by chronic anxiety disorder and agravated greatly by low back pain. He cannothold gainfully employment because of these related issues.

It is my opinion that Mr.veteran s chronic anxiety disorder is more likely than not due to his active service duty.......

It is also my opinion that his LBP is at least as likely as not related to his active service duty.

I hope Tommorrow ,Monday ,I will have another IMO saying essentially the same thing .He is a family practionioner that the PA

. listed above works for.

Then I hope to have one from an RN by end of week and a Buddy letter from a friend i was stationed with in the mid 70s. He is famialiar with my conditions and wittenessed more than one attack I had..

Now do any of you think these will stand a chance of overriding the cp Dr.s findings. Any thoughts,comments ,Advice is appreciated. Thank you Walt.

walt,

Have you ever checked into any of the voice recognition type programs to use for your computer ?

I think there's one called Dragon - it something like - you talk and it types from your voice.

I don't know how good they are but it's food for thought.

The program is called Dragon Naturally Speaking (DNS). I am using it to type this post. It works very well. You do have to take some time, several hours over the first couple of weeks, to "train" the program to recognize your voice accurately. The more you train, the better the program works. I originally got the program for my father who was legally blind due to macular degeneration. I trained his computer using my voice and when my father began using it, the program failed to recognize only about a dozen words. We were lucky that our voices were so similar. DNS can be used both to type for you and to control your computer. As a side benefit, spelling is almost perfect!

Yes Carlie I have and had one years ago but not very good results back then.I hear they are much better now and intend to get one when I can. Thank you very much.

Walt,

Have you applied for Social Security Disability?

I also Have Dragon, Naturally Speaking on two of my computers. I use it during flares of my Cervical DDD. The program is finicky and the ability of the program to work properly depends on the quality of your sound card. The program discusses the sound card issues in the instructions on troubleshooting.
