Question

Well today I called the Va to start mental health treatment. I was informed that I needed to register with patient services. So either today or tomorrow I will go to the mental health clinic to begin treatment. So after I go down there and see if I can be seen and helped I will update the results. Prozac seems to only help me be more social. It does nothing for my violent side. So I plan to stay in treatment until I get this mental situation under control.

Well I can't lie I went to my non combat PTSD meeting. Everybody and I mean everybody seems like they are fake. Like one big game. Everybody laughing talking just seem like its a big talkfest. I don't understand I am truly in a fog. Everybody seems suspect to me. When I say the people seem fake I mean they seem like they all va employees. I might be paranoid I don't know. I will still keep going the full 16 weeks. I owe myself to get all the help I can receive. At night when I wake up I'm hallucinating more and more in the dark. I finally meet my primary care physician slash mental health doctor August 1. All I really want to do is get away from the city. EVERYTIME I go out I just about try to fight people. It's like the ultimate thrill. To tell y'all the truth only reason I haven't fought nobody is because everybody backs down from me. Then I realize that I was tripping. Sometimes I believe I am in a coma and all this is one big bad dream. I crave pain almost everyday. Only way I stay peaceful if I lock myself in my room day after day. At least in country areas I can walk the country roads without coming into contact with anybody. I swear I want my life to change I do not want to stay violent in nature. When I close my eyes all I see is horrific things that I do not want to see. I feel disconnected from everybody. The only benefit I have while taking this prozac it appears to make me way nicer to my family. The prazosin I'm still having weird dreams not so much in the violent nature. So the prazosin have changed my homicidal dreams that I had every night. Night after night I was at war in my dreams. So at this point I limit myself to only going to my doctors appointments. Well this is where I'm at right now. I'm hoping treatment will start taking away these desires I have so I can start rejoining society in a more social productive way.

Well my claim is in preparation for notification. A lady from the va called me for my dependent information she also told me my deferred PTSD claim has been granted. So maybe my fight is over. If all goes well. I will move to a much quieter part of town. I want to get away from all these crowds of people. Move away from my old neighborhood so it's hard for me to go back over there. What I have learned is to escape violence and violent thoughts. I have to avoid things that anger me and cause me anxiety. So truthly I think I will be pretty much isolated from the world pretty much. I'm still going to PTSD support group and go to counseling at kaiser and the va. I still have hallucinations see flashing lights at times and in my sleep my gal say in my sleep I shake violently in my sleep. Also my hands shake bad everyday. OOOH well that's where I'm at now

It won't be long now... I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you!

Why arrive at the grave relatively unscaithed, rather than to skid in sideways yelling "Holy Crap! What a Ride!"

Hello world it's me. Where do I start. I will begin with saying I'm dizzy numb and feeling extra violent all at the same time. I am at home. I will not leave when I'm feeling this way. To be honest I want to take a ride and beat up some of my old friends that I know don't like me. I crave pain like a crack attic crave crack. My hands are jittery. But I know that I have to keep myself inside the house until whatever mental issues I'm having get fixed. Right now my bloody head is ringing like a emergency broadcast. I do not know how I got this bad. In the dark I'm seeing things. It's getting so bad I don't know what's real and what's fake. I'm seeing things walk by out the corner of my eyes every day. I feel like a madman. But the only thing that keep me in check is not wanting to go to jail. Only place I go to is PTSD group counseling and doctor and psych visits. I had a appointment at the va psych clinic. As the room reeled up my thoughts was getting violent and violent until I had to reschedule my appointment I couldn't take it. It was like I was going to turn into a vampire. They way it looks now is if I don't get better mentally I will be forced into a life of isolation. Only being around a few selected friends and some family. I'm just confused it feels like I'm slipping deeper in the abyss. OOOOH well I will remain locked in the house for now. I just pray that GOD heals me of this madness that has toke over me.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
