HadIt.com Elder LarryJ Posted December 17, 2006 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thank G-d and may He Bless you and your family even more. Now, go buy something for you and for your husband..................something really unnecessary but something you'd LIKE to have. "It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lnovell Posted December 17, 2006 Author Share Posted December 17, 2006 Thank you everyone. Yes, it should be there before the end of the month. It says that the retro will be paid with in 15 days. So that's close enough for us. And like someone else has mentioned, we'll probably notice it in our bank before we even get the letter. I'll also look more closely into edu benefits. AZ doesn't say that they do pay for it but you never know about some of these things. Husband is doing much better emotionally knowing that he can focus on himself and not feel like he might have to figure out how to support the family. (not that he needs to, but he's just that way). He did finally find an excellent Phy. Ther. who can limit some of his pains. The first person in over 15 years who didn't just give him a sheet of exercises to do. So we are very thankful to have found him. We are still pretty young. He had his accident when he was just 20. We're just trying to figure out what to do when the kids are out of the house. Looking for other areas to move to where the weather wont aggravate the arthrits. Any ideas? Thanks again, and my best of wishes to everyone still fighting. May you all have a wonderful holiday!

Berta Posted December 17, 2006 Share Posted December 17, 2006 With the P & T 100 % status- they should have attached Chap 35 app for you and each child- for VA educational benefits. Also you and the kids might be eligible for CHAMPVA- a great health care program. You have to call or access their web site for the CHAMPVA app. VA might send you a letter telling you this info-it is separate award that you have to apply for and they(CHAMPVA) determine if you are eligible. I got this letter years ago but I dont think the VA always sends these out like they should. GRADUATE ! Nov 2nd 2007 American Military University ! When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we." Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
