Hey Mike,

Welcome on board. I can relate to what you are going through. I also filed for TSGLI, completed the form, signed, but it was rejected because I passed the timeline.

I don't understand. You are still on active duty? Lets start with that question.

I understand the part B section of the claim. My doc signed it without a problem. However, I was in the VA system for sometime and was being treated for TBI.

It will be very difficult to get any doctor to sign a form and have the services, VA and Prudential insurance approve the paperwork. The guidelines are very strict.

If you do qualify, your paper trail and evidence must be stone cold solid, this is different than a typical VA claim.

I hate to sound bleak about it, but I did go through this process. I hope I am wrong in your case.

Good luck

OK, so it was obviously a traumatic event.

Do you have a copy of all the medical records from your accident?

If at all possible, you should go back and see the surgeon or orthopedic specialist who helped you and ask them to fill out Part B.

If not then make an appointment at sick call, bring in the records and the forms, go over them with the doctor, if he refuses to sign them, ask him to please write a statement that he will not sign the forms because they are BS, and let him know you have to turn the forms in.

If all else fails, find a private doctor, maybe a Tricare doc your family uses, and have them review your medical records. If they can determine that you needed aid & attendance for the loss of DLA for 30, 60, 90, or even 120 day period, and they sign the form. then send it in.

Last year when they changed the rules, the claim I had was already done. They denied me on the fact my injury occurred stateside. So once they changed the law to anywhere in the world, I sent my paperwork back to my Primary Care Physician who saw me during the time and he signed part b.

TSGLI granted the full 100K award. I guess some of the med board docs were a little uppity about my PCM being a private doc, but the gal taking care of the claim said it doen't really matter who the Veteran is seeing, it only matters that they were able to prove there were 4 periods of loss for DLA.
