Berta Posted January 5, 2015 Share Posted January 5, 2015 WOW That is wonderful SANDMAN!!!!!!!!!!!"5 1/2 YRS of STRESS !"Yeah, I know what you mean."100% BACK TO ORIGINAL CLAIM DATE !Which was July 2009."Everything is wrong with that picture.5 1/2 years for those clowns to do it right.Outrageous. My last claim took a little less that 6 years.My RO does not know how to read. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gastone Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 Sand: After all that time and effort, the TDIU rating and Retro $'s are great. What was your SC Scheduler rating bumped to? If the PTSD move to 70% great but very difficult to get a T & P IU rating with only the major contributing SC of PTSD. Very difficult, if not impossible to find a VA C&P Psychiatrist or Psychologist PhD that doesn't think early to even late stage PTSD is treatable with possible future improvement. Good Luck Semper Fi Gastone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator broncovet Posted January 6, 2015 Moderator Share Posted January 6, 2015 Congratulations! Im sure getting the Kenster (Carpenter) helped. I hear he is the very best VA attorney anywhere. He certainly has VA experience, and was too busy to even "look" at my claim. Eagle is good, also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
