Hello everyone,

I need help with the results of my C&P exam. I had it 2 weeks ago, and received the report yesterday. Can someone help me understand the outcome? Will I be awarder a disability rating? Or will I be denied? Thanks in advance.

Just dealing with the VA in general will drive you crazy! Ebennies just pushes you over that cliff!

As for the additional $ you can receive, you have to think about the multiple amputees and those with TBIs so severe that they function at or below a young child. Pretty much those that can't care for themselves or live on their own, wheelchair bound and such.

I knew a Vet who was receiving over $6K a month, but he had full on Parkinson's from AO, was severely overwhelmed with PTSD from 2.5 years in a VC bamboo outdoor living structure...that he couldn't do anything on his own.  His Parkinson's was severe enough that he couldn't drive, cook, tie his shoes, much less button his shirt.  I was good friends with one of his sons, and saw the effect it had on him, with his Dad spending more time in the VAMC than he did at home.

So...unless you need the extra $, because you are that disabled, nobody really wants to trade places with those Vets.

Although I receive disability, I'm able to work and have a very good paying job. My disability goes into savings each month and I'm thankful I do not have to rely on it. I wouldn't trade what I have now for 100% ever. I already feel guilty receiving it at all but since I got cheated out of 17 years because in 1997 I had no idea I should be entitled to disability, I'm okaybwith receiving it now. 

I pray for my fellow Vet's who aren't as fortunate and I can't my blessings.

Feeling Cheated and Guilty, not good for your head.

Instead of looking at those 17 years as being cheated, consider the fact that you were and are, like so many of us Vet's that have preceded you, uninformed or ill-informed regarding VA Comp Benefits. Think about how many WWII, Korea and Nam Vets went down for a Dirt Nap, never realizing they were eligible for either VA Comp or Pension. All Vets can be thankful to Al Gore, for inventing the Internet. Knowledge, definitely is empowering.

A constant feeling of Guilt due to monthly receipt of VA Comp, isn't good either, MH wise. If you don't need it currently, consider donating all or a portion of it. Might make you feel better.

Gastone;

I think you miss took my statement.....I don't hold on to the loss of 17 years.  I just feel "cheated" as other Veterans that I should have been s/c all those years but I am grateful that I am S/C today.  I don't have the "constant" guilt...

If it wasn't for my boyfriend and dear friend back in 2013 telling me to apply, I would not be where I am today and that is why I an so grateful.

Hello everyone,

Quick update. I checked ebenefits last night and saw that I was awarded 70% for my disability. I am extremely happy that the process went extremely smooth. I would like to thank all the Vets here for their advice, without you guy paving the road I would not have been so fortunate!
