0 HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted August 4, 2016 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 4, 2016 These people never change at the VA. I think they would spend a million dollars to screw a vet out of ten cents. It makes me sick and disappointed that everyone says how concerned they are with taking care of veterans and then you see the official hand of the US government in action. If every vet dropped dead on Friday they would consider it a big favor. It is just an never ending fight with them to get what you deserve. AskNod is still working to get his greenhouse I think after 8 years with phony quality of life program. I know he is winning but so slowly they just want to see him and all of us dead first. Our real enemies are here and not in Iraq or some place in the middle east. Vync and ArNG11 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 ArNG11 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Harsh John, but you hit the nail on the head with that remark. That is the hard truth. The sooner folks realize this sad fact the better they will be equipped to win their claims. Happy Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guess I need to take my mind off what I've been thinking about and check out some IM/IME info here on Hadit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 Andyman73 Posted August 4, 2016 Share Posted August 4, 2016 Big John with the "Atomic Annie" artillery! (Look it up, big artillery piece) Sunny....it's okay to get off the merry-go-round if you get too dizzy...just don't leave the play ground. I'm glad you got a laugh from me...I know I don't have much to offer in the way of anything, but I am quite good at finding the lighter side of anything. Misery loves company, just look around(figuratively) here we all are! What place is in greater need of a few good laughs?

Question
sunnyh
I've been depressed ever since I read my C&P exam last week on the
Health E Vet Blue Button.
The things the examiner wrote I know I didn't say, was depressing.
Why would she write something I didn't say?
That doesn't matter now.
I found a REGULATION for unemployability/TDIU
that doesn't require a 60% or a combined 70%
or a 70% or 60% at all.

I've been rated at 50% for PTSD since 2013.
Before that rating, I received SSD benefits for PTSD since 2008
and continue to receive SSD.
The SSA law judge approved me for back benefits to 2002 even
though I was self-employed. My only disability with SSA is PTSD.
I told VA about my SSD for PTSD many times from the beginning in 2008.
I asked them for service connection back to 1979 when I ETS'd out of the Army
and for 100% for everyday since that day. (My shotgun format never worked with VA.)
My lawyer has known about my SSD for PTSD since I hired him in 2008.
50% is my static rating I believe and I need to know how
it's proven?
The same C&P examiner who rated me as 50% in 2013, rated me at 50%
again in July 2016.
How do I qualify for TDIU/unemployability?
Why have I never known about it?
Why hasn't my lawyer pressed the issue?
Shouldn't lawyers know about this VA benefit?
I'm feeling mad.

Sunny Don't blame yourself in any way because it took me years to wise up to understand exactly what I needed to win a major claim. Maybe .001 percent of vets are a
Buck52
Obviously This is why Veterans needs to educate them self with VA Law and the CFR's before filing a claim and make it hard for the VA to deny.
