0 Oceanbound Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 Claim approved you say? Wait for it to show up in your mailbox. Don't watch the paint dry or the grass to grow or pot that has yet to boil. Find a habit and live life if you check ebenefits/vagov multiple times a day youre going to be getting the VA disease. Unless you want grey hair, no hair, winkles from stress. SURE you can send an email in seconds but the real world still operates in the real world. Then you have the RO. I lawyered up and no longer check ebenefits/vagov (mainly because I forgot my password and need to make the trip to the RO to create new password and only will do so if I am in the area, fat chance that i will plan a trip to it) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 HadIt.com Elder Buck52 Posted October 28, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 28, 2019 (edited) They usually show up after a decision has been made once the decision has been made it should show up the next few days none os know exactly when they will show up ? if you use a VSO/DAV he should send you a unofficial letter in the mail before the R.O. Sends it out. IF YOU THINK ITS GETTING CLOSE CHECK EVERY OTHER DAY ON EBENEFITS GB Army and Paul , I been thinking about going for increase on my 70%PTSD, I was checking Myhealthevet *notes* And a physiatrist that seen me via video teleconference (not C&P) just a therapy session because they had no Dr's to see me and my VA Phyistrist was on Vacation...anyway this Dr mention my Depression and PTSD night mares and sweats have worsen .....and laid out a plan for me that I agreed to. so I was thinking I may ask for an increase? if I am worse? I also want to file a secondary Sleep Apnea Claim secondary to my PTSD,,,VA MH sent me to the sleep clinic because I stopped breathing in my sleep according to my spouse I have no records of sleep disturbance on file during my military days other than I snored a lot via buddy roommate, (he is deceased now)...anyway I did the sleep study at a private faciality and they diagnose me with mild sleep apnea and VA prescribe me a C-PAP machine to use this was in 2015...I been using the C-pap ever since I just have never filed a claim for Sleep Apnea secondary to my PTSD? YET..what all would I need to submit with my claim /claims? or should I even file? Iam 190% service connected For 90% for hearing loss (TDIU P&T) For the last 17 years and 10% for tinnitus. 2015 Won my PTSD Claim (combat PTSD From Vietnam) ALMOST 50 Years ago eh!! ..I always had it but was in denial I had it until my wife had enough she mention it to my PCP and then PCP sent me to MH...Anyway sent my service /medical records in & they gave me 70% with the TDIU P&T MADE ME 100% AS IN FINAL DEGREE RATING (ITS ON EBENEFITS) So my Depression and PTSD has worsen according to this VA-Phyistrist that seen me in the tele-vedeo confrance at the MH Clinic. Do you guys think I should try to file for increase? and file a Sleep Apnea Claim secondary to my PTSD? i DON'T Think theres any more money in the pot I already get 2 SMC's S &K. What y'all think??? I am still pondering what to do I am not sure I want anymore stress with the VA.

0 HadIt.com Elder GBArmy Posted October 29, 2019 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 29, 2019 Buck, I want to get this straight: you are rated at 100% plus 2 additional SMC's. I am not good at SMC stuff; really hard for me to get all the factors straight. What is your motivation to do go higher? You was granted what rating in 2015 for your PTSD? It sounds like your doc is saying things are worse for you so it wouldn't appear that they would be looking to knock it down, but you never know about the VA. Sleep apnea is probably an easy trip if you gained weight because of PTSD meds, though you need an IMO from a doc to confirm that for a secondary. That would be rated at 50% with a doc's requirement for a CPAP. What does VA math do for you with an additional 50%? If you can get a bump on your PTSD of say, 10%, what does that do for you? If you are awarded 70% and then boosted to 100% TDIU at your age, if it truly is P&T, is it worth it just for your wife to get Champva and/or education benefits? You probably are safe now for your rating. If they call you in for a C&P out of the blue, you could always submit new claims then. It really gets down to what are you trying to accomplish; I think moderate risk, low reward to me.IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 vetquest Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Buck, if it was me I might file for the SA. I also have 70% PTSD and SA but mine is severe. As far as asking for an increase in PTSD you can only go to 100% and that is usually a tall order. I would think you are pretty safe but we never know what evil lurks in the RO. If you stress when filing a claim I might say "oh hell" and stand pat. My advice is only worth what you paid for it though. Good luck in your decision.

I do beieve you will get the increase and also be awarded SA as secondary to PTSD. As you say there probably won't be anymore money in the pot. As we know whenever we file a claim we run a risk of being reduced (as sad as that is) but I truly don't believe you need to worry about that. If filing a new claim does not drive you crazy then go for it. Always remember Buck no matter what you decide it will be the right decision. I am currently fighting with the VA over a proposal to reduce so for me I am a little gunshy as far as filing a new claim. I currently have three claims pending and once they are done I probably won't file any new ones unless I have a heart attack, my BP is high and I know it has played havak on my heart. The reason for it is because if I die from a heart attack I want my wife to be eligible for DIC. vetquest 1 I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you. You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

@Buck52, keep on with your program. As far as the hospital it is not that bad being an inpatient for a few weeks. I was voluntary so I could leave at any time. I made a life long friendship with an
