Score one for the whitehouse hotline. She said she can see the proposed decision but also see it states I'm missing the 21-2680 form. I said then why send me to a C&P addressed Aid and Attend exam. She said to be on the side of caution leave no stone unturned have a doctor fill out what the examiner failed to address. She submitted in an inquiry note giving me 2 weeks before the rater makes his decision. No more Peggy for me I am calling the whitehouse for all my needs... I know you all said do it I just thought the 14 pages of evidence and the C&P for aid and attendance would have been a comparison. She was helpful she also went in to saying I was the first person she has seen sent to the exam without the doctor filling out the form. Looks like to the VA I go on Monday she also recommened ebenefits as faxes take 10 days to upload.. another tip I learned having the form filled out 21-2680 and submitted into the claims is actually filing for it no 526 needed just the form... and evidence

This form will be used by the Department of the Army in the United States. A VA Form 21-2690 is known as an Examination for Housebound Status or Permanent Need for Regular Aid and Assistance. The form is used by veterans who require assistance due to a medical condition. This form is required to submit a claim for aid and assistance from the Department of Veterans Affairs due to the condition.

This form will require detailed information about the claimant. The form also requires that a section about the claimant’s medical history and conditions be completed by a licensed medical examiner. The examiner will also need to list the activities that the veteran can do without assistance, such as feeding themselves, getting dressed, and other daily living activities. This information will help the Department of Veterans Affairs determine the claimant’s needs. 

you don't drive do you?

21-2680 application for aid and attendance 

 

so my uphill battle has been nothing but a mudsling festival that I’m starting to become irritated with my 1 the VA and 2 the doctor at the C and P who said a 21-2680 wasn’t needed for my claim. So after they closed out the first claim in September saying I withdrew it in April of 2017 after they sent me to a C and P for it they reopened my claim in Sept 14 and I submitted all the same evidence as the last one they said I withdrew. Then I recieved a letter on Saturday the 29th to have a 21-2680 filled out by my Va doctor. Monday I dropped it off at the doctors and later that after noon they closed out my claim again. So I called the RO who reopened my claim yet again and will be resubmitting the form from my psychiatrist. This fighting back and forth is getting old not to mention I can be damn sure they will mess up my EED of April of 2017. I guess instead of asking my C and P doctor who did the C and P labeled Aid and Attendance I should have asked my doctors to begin with, so anyone else reading don’t make my mistake.

just keep on fight with them   its what most of us had to do and it don't seem like its going to change any time soon...sorry your having to go through all this BS.

The Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) has finalized new rules that make it more difficult to qualify for long-term care benefits. The rules establish an asset limit, a look-back period, and asset transfer penalties for claimants applying for VA pension benefits that require a showing of financial need. The principal such benefit for those needing long-term care is Aid and Attendance.

Went to the RO Doctor is filling out the 21-2680 since I read the denial with a worker at the VA he laughed it says they denied because they couldn’t find your records. I then print out the C and P and handed to my psychiatrist to review while he was filling out the 21-2680. The VA worker also pointed out they put in a note last Friday saying to give me two weeks to get them the form but then they closed it out on Monday anyways tired of the circus the worker said don’t give up...not sure if it helps
