  • Can a 100 percent Disabled Veteran Work and Earn an Income?

    employment 2.jpeg

I sure hope you mean- evidence--- when you say Ammo-----

As I recall this was a PTSD claim (USN?)denied due to lack of verified stressors.Please correct me if I am wrong-

Also I think you sent them a buddy statement-which they should have considered but might not have given it any weight.

If you give us more info perhaps we can help find corroboration of the stressor.

Most ships and military units have web sites and there might be something you overlooked- was this an incident that would have been in the Navy Times, or in the ships logs? Some ship's historys are on line too.

If this involved the death of a sailor, it should have a way to confirm that-

Was the buddy statement an eye witness acoount and did the buddy tell the VA what put him in same place as you at same time to witness the stressor? Such as same MOS etc.

Would your CO or Ship's Captain have recollection of this and provide a statement?

Did you send letters home about this event and would a family member or friend back home be able to send additional buddy statement to support it?

Do your personnel records have any nexus statements as to the stressor? Or as to a change in your performance due to the stressor?

You never told us much about the stressor-maybe we could help more if we knew what it was-

The only real "ammo" with the VA is clear and convincing evidence.

Do you have a service org representing you -and what do they suggest?

gbennett,

Where did you go?

Berta remembers your claim as being PTSD and not verified stressors. Maybe you are suffering from Anxiety and it may be called PTSD. but it is not the same.

If you look at claims at the BVA there is a difference.

It is a confusing rat race, and believe me the R.O will do their best to confuse you.

I have been there, and have had to back track and try to beat them at their own game.

Josephine

Send me a personal message.

I will help you.

      broncovet posted an answer to a question,

      While the BVA has some discretion here, often they "chop up claims".  For example, BVA will order SERVICE CONNECTION, and leave it up to the VARO the disability percent and effective date.  

      I hate that its that way.  The board should "render a decision", to include service connection, disability percentage AND effective date, so we dont have to appeal "each" of those issues over then next 15 years on a hamster wheel.

    • Finally Won...NOW WHAT?

      Ztmiller8 posted a question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC,

      Finally heard back that I received my 100% Overall rating and a 100% PTSD rating Following my long appeal process!

      My question is this, given the fact that my appeal was on the advanced docket and is an “Expedited” appeal, what happens now and how long(ish) is the process from here on out with retro and so forth? I’ve read a million things but nothing with an expedited appeal status.

      Anyone deal with this situation before? My jump is from 50 to 100 over the course of 2 years if that helps some. I only am asking because as happy as I am, I would be much happier to pay some of these bills off!

      Joey Ross posted an answer to a question,

      I told reviewer that I had a bad C&P, and that all I wanted was a fair shake, and she even said, that was what she was all ready viewed for herself. The first C&P don't even  reflect my Treatment in the VA PTSD clinic. In my new C&P I was only asked about symptoms, seeing shit, rituals, nightmares, paying bills and about childhood, but didn't ask about details of it. Just about twenty question, and  nothing about stressor,

    • I don’t say thank you enough to all of you...

      I don’t say thank you enough to all of you...

      Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,

      You, yes you, are the reason HadIt.com has remained a resource-rich resource. Thousands come each month to read, ask questions, or to feel a sense of community.

      Last month June 2020, we over 50k visitors they viewed over 160k pages. Veterans and their advocates, spouses, children, and friends of veterans come looking for answers. Because we have posts dating back 15 years and articles on the home page, they usually can find an answer or at least get pointed in the right direction.

      You all made that possible. Thank you.
