Through the looking glass Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 Hi all, I won my BVA a few months back and was granted SMC-l for aid and attendance. I feel things went smoothly, but I guess having a lawyer who knows what they are doing can make that happen. Life has been tough medically for me the past few years, and this win was just what I needed to lift my spirits. I’ve struggled with my AS (Ankylosing Spondylitis) becoming super aggressive and really interfering with my quality of life. My PTSD/Anxiety/depression/OCD has been very bad in the past year as well, and I recently put in an increase for that, so I am still waiting on that development. My husband and I are contemplating applying for the caregiver program, but I’m not sure I’m ready (emotionally) to admit I would need a program like that. I’m pretty stubborn and would rather suffer than admit my body is failing me . Anyway, I love this group and I am so glad to have a community to go to when I need help. side Note: my retro came in multiple chunks, like 10 different amounts . When I went to look at my bank account, it took me a few seconds to figure out what had happened. PTSD78 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vetquest Posted November 10, 2018 Share Posted November 10, 2018 That is interesting about your retro. We had another member say the same thing. It is a deviation from the norm. Glad to see the your got your AA. God bless and I hope that things slow down on your AS. Through the looking glass 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
