carlie Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 First, Congrats to All who have had success with their claims. And for those who have not, persist until VBA gets it right. Just saw on e-bennefits, my husbands claim has been completed. He is rated 100% P & T with SMC and SMC-K. We do not know the breakdown of the claim yet. It was for hearing, tinnitus, (already rated at 20%) PTSD & Parkinson's Disease. They did forget about me though...........no dependents..........VSO stated it was standard operating procedure, because they don't know if the veteran was divorced or not at the time of decision. Took care of that right away! Next step will be A & A, but to be honest, I surely hope a few years pass before we come to that. Gives us time to make sure we have our ducks in a row so that there can be no question for denial. Oh yeah...........no future exams. YIP-PEE. Access all benefits to include life insurance and state. Find classes on line for Chapter 35. Spend wisely. Carlie passed away in November 2015 she is missed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
