  • Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?

    You’ve just been rated 100% disabled by the Veterans Affairs. After the excitement of finally having the rating you deserve wears off, you start asking questions. One of the first questions that you might ask is this: It’s a legitimate question – rare is the Veteran that finds themselves sitting on the couch eating bon-bons … Continue reading

Non-Service Connected Pension

Asked by AFMedic09

Question

There is a new contention on e-benefits dated yesterday for Non-service connected pension. I make too much money to qualify for this, and I am only 40% rated. I have been waiting on a few deferred items to be decided on since the other rating in May 2012. I called Peggy today and they said I am Pending Decision. I have waited all day for the RO to call me back (they called 5 times yesterday, but I wasn't home). Does this mean they have not SC'd me for these conditions? If anyone has had any experience with this please advise. (You can also see my post on ebenefits forum which has specific wording of what ebenefits says they need.) I have done multiple searches for anyone who may have gone through something similar, but haven't found anyone.

The Pension is just the VA covering their six. For most we can't get a pension unless we meet the requirement. Income being the largest disqualifer.

Thank you Pete. Still waiting for RO to call me back. 5 calls in one day and now nothing...

When I called Peggy they said they had my deferred items at the ratings stage. I'm not sure if this means they are saying they are non-service connected. One of them is prolapsed bladder, cyctocele/rectocele. I am already rate 20% SC for TVT bladder sling. So how can they say these are non-service connected? So many questions right now due to this new non-service connected pension contention now.

AFMedic09... Just curious... What criteria is needed for the 20% rating for the TVT. I also had that proceedure twice during active duty. But the VA rated me 0% on urinary incontenance only. However, the VA did make a mistake and has the TVT erroniously listed as DVT (deep vein thrombosis) which I do not have and which I denied at the C&P exam, so the actual TVT has never really been recognized as a contention.

    • Hadit Members In Michigan

      Okemos_Veteran74 posted a topic in Social,

      I would like to meet other Hadit members who live in Michigan.  We have at least two major VA Hospitals (Battle Creek, Ann Arbor).  Or maybe you go to the the John Dingell in Detroit.  

      I like Ann Arbor.  I like the fact that most of the doctors there are also at the UM Hospital.  I don't like how uickly they seem to turn over though.

      Really?

      Holllie Greene posted a question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC,

      I am confused.  A few days ago I spoke to a person at a VARO who said if I die from something other than service-connected my husband gets zero, zilch, squat.  Hmmmmmm, it seems the rules change willy-nilly...I have been rated 100% P & T for over 10 years, MS is static, and I am 56 years of age.

      Can a fellow Veteran shed a light on this?

      Thank you.

      The site is supported through ads and ad free subscriptions, we are also asking for any support you would like to send our way. You can give a $1 or more it all helps. Keep in mind though that it is NOT tax deductible and we are NOT a non profit. As the site grows so do the costs and ads and subscription do not always keep pace with the costs. Any help is appreciated, but not required.
