Prettypantha Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 Received $4588 in retro for 4 months effective 1 Mar 17, today. Hopefully, the DRO will review my 2 appeals soon. Thanks to everyone whom took the time out of their busy schedule and had given me a congratulatory shoutout for the WIN on my claim. I really appreciate that.

Jimmer Posted July 11, 2017 Share Posted July 11, 2017 prettypantha, Congrats! I know you had a rough ride to get to where you are at now, as I have been following you situation. You have gone thru a lot! When you feel down or discouraged, I always remember the words of my favorite late basket ball coach Jim Valvano who "Don't give up...Don't ever give up".

Moderator broncovet Posted July 11, 2017 Moderator Share Posted July 11, 2017 Congratulations! CC "Captain Contanimate" used to say the same: Never give up. The ones that win VA benefits are the most persistent. Persistence wins when all else fails or gives up. You just need to try "one more time" than the string of denials and delays VA hands you.

saxman Posted August 16, 2017 Share Posted August 16, 2017 (edited) Congratulation Prettypantha! I will echo broncovet by saying persistence pays off, because those who stay the course receive the reward at the end. I just want to add that I was told in 2013 when I was only at 30% that I would never get a 100% rating because it's to hard to reach that rating. Well, 4 years later I'm 100% P&T! In their face!
