a little confused

[jfrei]

Im trying to figure out today why I was denied last time today. I will be talking to the woman in charge again who said my condition isn't severe because I can drive myself. When I applied in June was I was denied since then I have an appeal decided which granted me Permanent and total for my TBI which was just raised to 100% scheduler. What more would I need to show this program to help me and my family my recent C&P my wife explained how she has to be the one to use the GPS or we get lost?I was denied for the caregiver program.

Can you post your "reasons and bases" for denial in your decision?  That will always be more valid than anything someone tells you.

I believe they look at everything every disability separate per claim & Rate According to the % or severity of the disability...unless the disability falls under a category to rate from other S.C. Disability's  (they watch pyramiding closely)

Not to rain on your parade    BUT  being 100% P&T don't  guarantee all disability's claims will be approved.

but as broncovet mention ...the reason & bases of the denial  will help  to know to help you better.

This is for the caregiver program I was denied thought being in this 9/11 forum I didn't have to specify sorry.. The reason I was denied was because I have a drivers license and the ability to drive even as I have showed that I needed assistance with navigating the fact I can get behind the wheel was why she denied me....

if you can't drive b/c of your S.C. Disability or disability's  maybe you need to contact the DMV and have your license revoke b/c of your S.C. Disability  or better yet simply get a letter from a qualified Dr stating that you can't be driving b/c of your S.C. Disability you could bring harm yo your self and others.

The VA is going to look at every possibility to deny.

ect,,,ect,,,

I already have it from my C&P examiner that's why I went from 70%to 100% P and T for my TBI but when I applied I for the caregiver program I was only 70% for my TBI while my claim was pending now 4 months later its finally closed making me 100% scheduler for my TBI whch was also found to be P and T. I haven't spoken with the caregiver person to see if I can re apply or appeal her decision... Im sure shell be like yeah this is how you appeal my decision as I am the head of this program and what I say is goes... Again my long term memory is ok so I can drive I just get lost and cant use a GPS the reason my wife drives with me she holds on to the GPS.. The only place I drive by myself is to the VA hospital because I live right down the street street 5 minutes away.. My poly trauma counselor said I should be able to get it now because apparently I had very few doctor notes about my current situation which he said has changed but who knows..
