HadIt.com Elder wallyg Posted October 25, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 25, 2006 I guess the 'Luck of the Irish' finally came through. This AM received a letter awarding "Entitlement to individual unemployability effective November 6, 2003". With "Basic eligibility for Dependents Educational Assistance" and also "No examination will be scheduled in the future." It was a long haul, but by rebutting every denial with specific citations from their own regulations. and stubborn persistence, my goal was achieved. The lump sum back payment from VA and CRDP make a useful sum too, now we can have a proper vacation. Hadit.com helped to inspire me to persist, and I'll be sending along a check to TBird very soon. Wish you all luck with your claims, and I'll probably spend more time on the board, once I get my backlogged Tricare claims done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
