bionoce Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 I'm rated at 70% but paid 100% TDIU for PTSD. How do I go about getting the P&T status. I submitted a private medical opinion that I'm permanently disabled but I guess it wasn't good enough for VA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

0 bionoce Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 (edited) Until the VA authorizes medical marijauna for a treatment option, I say it is P&T. They can keep their friggin pills. Bottom line. Edited December 6, 2014 by bionoce Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Mikemmlj Posted December 6, 2014 Share Posted December 6, 2014 At my VAMC they had a class on PTSD and said only 20% of people with PTSD never show improvement. People have gotten P and T on PTSD alone but the VA views it as a treatable (but permanent) condition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bionoce Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 Yeah, the VA also views most veterans as non educated on their own health and wellness. I'll make my own determination on how I feel and what I experience on a daily basis, not them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 bionoce Posted December 6, 2014 Author Share Posted December 6, 2014 I've had 2 suicicide attempts, have no social life, no family contact, and can't work aound others without wanting to kill them. And the VA says I'm scheduled for a reduction in 2019. We'll see. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
