A VA Compensation and Pension Examiners Perspective
Tbird posted an article in Veterans Disability Claims,
A VA Compensation and Pension Examiners Perspective
This person is going to judge you. It’s their job, and that is why you are there. To be adjudicated fairly. How would you like to be remembered? A scuzzy stereotypical veteran? Or a troubled one who is doing the best they can?
Do not talk about alcohol or drug-related issues. You are not there to be assessed for those problems. You are there to be evaluated for your psychiatric functioning as today relates to your service history. If the examiner asks about alcohol or drugs, politely remind them that you are not there for those issues if you’ve ever had them, but for how impaired you are in your daily functioning. It’s best to avoid even talking about them. Got a VA horror story? I can tell you a worse one. Don’t waste your time with how badly you believe you’ve been mistreated. The examiner only has a short time to figure out how impaired you are, and they need the facts, concise sentences, and not rambling rants that lead nowhere.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Post in I need some help, please
Tbird posted an answer to a question,
If you are looking for help taking care of him something like a home health aide that comes in during the week and helps with what he needs help with. For this I would contact your local VA hospital and ask to speak to the Social Worker, explain your situation, ask for help and how to proceed.
If you are looking for additional compensation in the form of Special Monthly Compensation check out this video from CCK Law I think it will give you a good idea what it is and how to go about applying for it.
For example there is a Special Monthly Compensation Rate for TBI try reading this article from The Veterans Law Blog on SMC T It is a subscription site but it allows you to view 3 articles for free a month.
Special Monthly Compensation (SMC)
I hope this helps.

Question
Mr cue
Man I don't no if I am having bad luck or this is been done on purpose.
First the cavc remand for smc o and r I got a ssoc Nov 22.
But the ro refuse to return it to the board.
No one will tell me anything again like where it is when will it be send back to the board.
Why is it not been return.
So anyway the board made decision on the other issues that were removed from the cavc remand docket an given new appeal docket numbers.
They even advance my case to do this. Smh
Well anyway I appeal the two decision back to the court.
So I put in to have my case expidate again.
The clerk will not put my motion in tell me I have to send something that I am on my death bed. Smh.
I am taking this is a new clerk I call the supervisor. He tell me to send it again.
And she call me tell me once again she is put in my motion there are rules.
Now I did this two time before to the court I understand how it is done.
If the judge order for me to give more evidence she will make a order and give me 15 30 day to answer.
I am now fighting my case with a court clerk. Smh
Well I did get something from cck in the mail about doing this appeal.
I did the intake I am waiting for the lawyer to call.
If he see my case the way I see it and as long as my issues are not abandon I might just let them handle this cavc cases this time.
Still think on that tho.
Well it has been a month that my petition for extraordinary relief has been with the judge.
Maybe she will do the right thing and not let this come back to her court to be remand again.
Because the board didn't follow the cavc remand order
Finger cross lol.
I have to give this get my motion put in to the court go for a few days.
I am mad this will be the second week I have be trying to get this lady to put my motion in.
