tdiu I Have A C&p In A Couple Weeks What To Expect

[GDavis9755]

March last year I was awarded 90%SC. Right after that I received TDIU at 100% T&P. Life was great after years of the fight..

Then the same month (March) I was DX with small cell lung cancer (Limed). I filed for SC because of AO and was awarded 100% with aid and attedance.

After 6 treatments of chemo, along with 35 radiation the same time. After that 15 radiation brain treatments. Here we are in June of this year they want to have a C&P for my (respiratory problem). I so far am NED for the cancer. It's all the other problems that really hard on me. Some where and some how I had two TIC strokes, can't feel much in my feet, found out last week I have a vein that is completely blocked but have two other veins that has by-passed the main one. I also got 65% damage to my kidneys .

I,m still tired all the time sweat at night, hit the bath room 8-12 times a night, dizzy when I stand or walk, can't walk 100 ft with out almost passing out.

I figure they'll knock me back to TDIU which would cost me money. Do I need to file for all the other problems that has been caused frome the cancer treatment? I was well and no idea of what the treatment was going to do to me. Thaks

You have come to the right place. Welcome Aboard!

Were you in Vietnam? It seem that they have gave you P&T?

There is a lot good people here, hang on and you will get help here!!

They are looking at the cancer to see if your cured.

You should be at SMC L or higher now since you have a 100 plus a 90 and a and a.

You should file for the kidneys and other things and maybe depression if you have it to offset any reductions by the VA.

Did two tours in Nam. First tour with 1st Cav as a grunt, went to flight school 2nd tour with the 101airborne up north. I was rated with all my combined at 90%. They then gave me TDIU. The cancer at present is stable. My cancer Dr says I will always have the cancer it's under control right now. Could come back and I'm screwed. I'm taking PET scans every 3 months. As it is a very aggressive cancer. Less then 5% make it to 5 years. As far as SMC as L I'm not sure they gave me that. I was moved to 100% with aid and attendance.

As I'm already rated TDIU P&T. What should I expect filing for the lung damage, kidney, and the other problems the treatment has caused?

As far as I know,is that once you are P&T. You are max out on money, except for SMC's. I'm up to 380 %, but only P&T 100% with two SMC. Are you married? you can claim her, sometimes the DAV or VSO leave off your spouse.
