Billielea Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thank you everyone on HADIT! Checked ebennies and I have been increased to 70% from 50%.

Berta Posted October 2, 2016 Share Posted October 2, 2016 WOW Great! with the defered issues it could raise the % and if you are unemployed, hopefully they will consider TDIU ( and award that ) Hard to know but this is GREAT news! Sept and October have always brought many awards from VA......I hope the good news we are seeing here continues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Billielea Posted October 2, 2016 Author Share Posted October 2, 2016 Thanks Berta! I especially appreciate everything you do for Veterans. I will just have to wait and see. I have not worked since I returned from Iraq in 2004 except to complete my National Guard enlistment term in 2007. I didn't have anything from a doctor or VOC Rehab saying I couldn't work. I will just have to wait and see what they say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
