HadIt.com Elder Pete53 Posted October 17, 2013 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 17, 2013 Splendid. The VA usually pays pretty quick I got mine before I got the notice. Veterans deserve real choice for their health care. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Navy04 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 I have 4 30%s and I know that one of them will get bumped up to 40% or more and then I will apply for IU thru the VA. My VSO rep told me today that I can not apply for IU until one of my %s gets bumped up to atleast 40%, even though I already have a total 80% for service connected. With the claim in the VA to up my %s, I hope it goes fast. I am going to meet with Lawyer on Tuesday for the Social Security Disability. I hope everything speeds up for all of us.
