Guest L Posted September 26, 2016 Share Posted September 26, 2016 Hi - Just want to let everyone know there is hope if your claim is stalled. They are working at the Houston RO. I got a call from DRO today, and told me I was granted IU with back pay. (PTSD/MST Rape & ATT Murder) I have my Navy retirement too, so I think this is the end of the road for me as far as claims go. I will continue to pray for adjudication with other claims. This was exhausting. Graduating in 72 days with my BS in Criminology- Thanks Voc Rehab.

I took the advice and put a written letter in stating " Respectfully request my rating and IU decision being made at this time be granted P & T with this decision ...... " or words to that effect. Even though I did not get an increase at least I know that the one I have is " Permanent" Paying it forward. I am still new to the IU PT process. I was tired after winning the six year battle to get service connection for my TBI. Now my primary VA doctor said he believes I should be PT for my TBI rated at 70% at the least after six years of my initial C&P it has remained unchanged. So I filed for an increase for my headaches since I get them daily and have been seeking treatment from my Va doctors for the last three months which was rated at 0%. right foot strain (claimed as right foot contusion) 10% Service Connected 07/12/2010 left index strain, residual of avulsion fracture left index finger 0% Service Connected 07/12/2010 scar tracheostomy due to ventilator dependence 30% Service Connected 07/12/2010 residuals of traumatic brain injury with cognitive disorder, short term memory losses/lapses, difficulty sleeping, problem solving with PTSD (to include cerebral contusion with diffuse axonal injury to bilateral frontal and temporal lobes) 70% Service Connected 07/12/2010 Tinnitus 10% Service Connected 07/12/2010 dizziness and lightheadedness 30% Service Connected 05/25/2016 headaches 0% Service Connected 07/12/2010 left shoulder impingement syndrome with supraspinatus tendinitis (claimed as dislocation of left shoulder with popping) 20% Service Connected 07/12/2010 Individual Unemployability 10/24/2016 NEW Headaches 09/05/2016 INC APPEAL Active Deep Vein Thrombosis (claimed As Blood Clots In Left Leg) 08/19/2016 REP Basilar Skull Fracture (claimed As Neck Fracture) 08/19/2016 REP New Claims Fracture(s) Pelvis NEW Ptsd (post Traumatic Stress Disorder) NEW Temporary Total Disability NEW It has been expedited since I have lost my 5 job in 1 year and have lost insurance for my pregnant wife. I have been service connected for my PTSD but I seeking a seperate rating from my TBI, I am at 90% with all my 8 issues. So do I have to ask in writing to be PT my appt is on Dec 4? My VA doctors have written me doctors notes to print off Ebenefits and of course I have hospital records but I am still nervous. My doctor says no worries I have looked up your doctor your case should be easy to show its perment. Edited November 24, 2016 by jfrei Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
