usmc89 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Way to go! Spend wisely. We stole the Eagle from the Air Force, The Anchor from the Navy, the Rope from the Army, and on the seventh day when God rested, we overran his perimeter and stole the Globe, and we have been running the show ever since.

deanbrt Posted July 16, 2012 Author Share Posted July 16, 2012 I discovered a truth on the road. If you are going to win you have to be tenacious in your own defense. No one else will. And maybe carry a little edge and be willing to push back. So many are steamrolled into submission it seems. I think Berta is a good example of what it may take to prevail. And, in my case, i also got lucky and had a guy named Hoppy write an absolutely brilliant argument on my behalf at BVA that carried the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Got the formal letter this morning. 80% combined with IU to 100%. Permanent and total. Effective August 25, 2006. I put 6 years of VA correspondence in a box a little bit ago and took it to the basement.... I'd be sure that box is high up off the floor and both water and fire proof. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
