Rocket1949 Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Hello fellow Hadit users. First and foremost I would like to thank T Bird for creating this site. I would also like to thank the many folks that have contributed and shared information to help Veterans. A special nod to Berta for all of her dedication in helping others. I was awarded a 70% Disability rating around the first of June. I received the BBE on June 3. I was awarded 50% PTSD,40% bilateral hearing loss,and 10% for tinnitus. I submitted my claim on Jan. 21,2015. It took 4 months to receive a decision and I'm feeling awful lucky to have received a decision so soon. Trying to process it all and figure out the next step . Thanks again Hadit and all whom share their stories and offer hope thru a difficult process. Andyman73, Pete53 and BEVB 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Founder Tbird Posted June 11, 2015 Founder Share Posted June 11, 2015 Rocket1949 - Welcome Aboard and congratulations. Tbird Founder HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran LLC - Founded Jan 20, 1997 HadIt.com Veteran To Veteran | Community Forum | RallyPoint | FaceBook | LinkedIn | About Me Time Dedicated to HadIt.com Veterans and my brothers and sisters: 65,700 - 109,500 Hours Over Thirty Years I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it. I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life. The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

georgiapapa Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Congratulations on your well deserved award. Sounds like you had good evidence and a well organized claim. Since you have a combined rating at 50% or above, you are now in priority group one of the VA healthcare system. This means you can receive free VA care for any medical condition (service connected or non-service connected). You do not have to pay any copays for VA appointments or VA prescriptions. You can also receive reimbursement for any VA copays you paid back to the effective date of your claim resulting in a rating of 50% or higher. Good luck to you and thank you for your service.
