doogie Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 (edited) I was sitting in my jacuzzi this morning and got a call from my lawyer .They told me i got my PTSD increase from 30% to 50 % so i called my bank and low and behold there was a large deposit from the VA. I had almost given up but thanks to the encouragement from HADIT elders and others i stuck it out and finally got an increase. Also today at 1:00 pm my lawyer is mediating with the hearing judge for my heart claim ,IF all goes well i may not have to drive 6 hrs to WINSTONSALEM NC to the in person hearing . The judge might make a decision today and my lawyers say evidence is in my favor, we'll see. Edited January 28, 2014 by doogie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berta Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 YIPPEE!!!!! You persevered and it paid off Doogie!!!! This is GREAT News! A Jacuzzi sounds good too....at first I thought you meant an outdoor hot tub! I waited for the temps up here to climb from minus 13 to minus 3 before I went to the store today. Plenty of outdoor hot tubs here in NY but i hope they are well drained...coldest winter I can remember. I am so glad you told us this good news as we had not heard from you for a while!
