I HAVE BEEN ON THIS VETERANS SITE SINCE THE BEGINNING AROUND 1997, This site has had many changes. All of the changes have been for the good of the site. T-Bird does her best to keep Veterans informed. This is the best Veterans Discussion Board on the Internet. I wish I was able to be on here as much as I used to be. The amount of post that it shows that I have made does not go back to when the site started. T-Bird had no idea that this site would ever get as big as it has grown. She is a big inspiration for a lot of Veterans. If it were not for this site, a lot of Veterans would not have ever had their claims won..QUOTEHelp a Veteran any time that you can. They need to be informed of the claims process...

Dean, go to this website, type in your zip code and it will give you a list of options. Pick one and call them tommorrow.

I hope this helps.

A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect.

A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served.

Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with.

I went to the site and it did not help much at all. They did not have listings for the Medical insurance. Only the prescription plans. I would have had to fill out a form and have them contact me. I have enough people calling me and sending me junk e-mail. I am wanting someone that has a good insurance company to let me know how they like what they have. A company can tell me that they will give me a mollion dollars for siging up. If anyone want's to help, Please read my other long post so you can understand what my problem is. I do not have time to think about this. I need examples from other people that have used certain agencies. I am not trying to be mean. I am just getting desperate.

Check with Medicare they should be able to provide an approved list. You have to do something by tomorrow.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

You can also call an independent insurance broker (yellow pages) and they can sell you a secondary or supplimental policy to medicare and will usually answer your questions about the coverage over the phone. They will hope they can sell you more insurance like homeowners, car, life, earthquake, flood, just be nice and let them know you'll CONSIDER anything after you handle the current emergency.

Dean,

Pete is right. Medicare has it's own network of companies they work with. Contact them to find out what options/companies are available in your area to work with. My husband is on medicare and we work with a local company so that he could continue to see his doctor's that he had been seeing for years. They also cover the local hospital within that network. Once medicare gives you names and numbers, call each of them and make sure that your doctor(s), hospital, etc. are in the network that they provide coverage. They will tell you that there are different levels of coverage based on your needs. But, part D medicare for precriptions will be included. Well, at least it is with our network. Once you find the one you want, they should be local so you can go in and sign paperwork to get signed up today.

My Insurance Agent called me today. She has been in New York with her Dad. Her dad had 3 mastoid tumors (I think that is what she said) in his head. :P Her dad is in his 90's. I guess she had a good reason not to be in touch with me. She will be at my home in the morning to sign me with a new company. :P

:) Thanks for all of the advice from everyone.......................

My pressure is off now..........

Hey Pete....Long time...... No talk.......Or see

How have you been doing?........Birthday boy...

      VA Disability Payment Schedule for 2025

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
