flores97 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 Congratulations!! I applaud you, you had the right attitude, perseverance and persistence. That gives me hope as well, I am currently at 90%, I have applied for tdiu and I did ask for p&t as well since both my VA pcp as well as my voc rehab counselor said I was permanently and totally disabled. College is the biggest stress for me, I have five children, and while my son has been accepted into the Citadel, I have a daughter in college that I am helping currently, and my middle son is about to graduate high school. I've been waiting over a year for the NOD on tdiu , which isn't that long at all, and hopefully the letter from Voc Rehab will carry the day.

missunderstood Posted December 13, 2016 Author Share Posted December 13, 2016 @Flores I know it takes a lot of stress away when you have children knowing that college will be taken care of. I have a soon to be 13 year old and a newborn on the way. I just needed the stress to be somewhat alleviated. I have been fighting with the VA since I left active duty. It took me 10 years to get to this point. It was nice to get back pay though..hehehe....but I knew that by now my PTSD was not going to improve. After several hospitalizations you would think they would have done it all on their own but not. ArNG11, flores97 and Andyman73 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flores97 Posted December 13, 2016 Share Posted December 13, 2016 missunderstood, I agree completely, especially with you being hospitalized for ptsd. I have to admit, that is definitely the most difficult time for me, having to explain to my kids why I can't help as much with their college expenses as I should. I'm in urgent care at VA usually two to three times a month for lupus flares, infections, etc, so there's mountains of treatment records lol, I'm hoping to hear something soon. Again, congratulations! missunderstood and Andyman73 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
