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 am get really mad at this whole process now.
I really feel like I am been put in a place to fall.
There is no way the court can address it own remand order.
The court set a side my effective date granted 2018. An remand it back to bva.
The bva remand the same effective dates set aside by the court. To be granted in the first instance.
So now I am back at the court appealing the same effective dates the court set a side.
An no one will address it.
My cavc remand has been process in the new ama system.
They removed it from legacy appeal and the court remand docket
When I never check the box to remove it on the nod mail to me.
It take two seconds to look at the nod.
No one will address it.
I am not give up but this is just crazy.
One day they will have to address all this.
Just a shame s veteran has to go all the way to court for the VA to address a nod and there errors of processing it.
The no contact with anyone really is go-to back up the VA system.
I am just venting. This handling 4 different appeal at the court is stress me out
An the court will not even rule on consolidating them together.
It been 3 weeks no answer.
I ask the veterans affairs to merger them back together before any of this.
Because I understood I would be fight 3 different appeal at the court at the same time.
Not answer.
So I sit here try not to miss any deadline and go over 3 different copys of the rba. The record.
Can use just one because the pages are number different.
Smh it's alot this time but I understand what I am doing I just don't like it.
An I feel is putting a pro SE veteran at a disadvantage.
An not legal.
No one will address this lol.
Ok I am done back to getting this brief ready.
O I got a pro Bono program telephone conference that will be scheduled soon.
I just hope the lawyer that come on the case doesn't feel he has to address my issues.
An feel he is just going to ask the lawyer basic stuff I will end the conference not about to sit here and play games.
I will just let the judge rule.
It a lot in but the fight continues
