Newbie with appeal question

feeds@yuku.com (sailor4eva) — Thu, 24 Jul 2008 13:32:57 GMT

I am rated 70% for a mental condition and have more than 60% on other conditions, which add up to a total of 90% va rating
I appealed the mental rating because I know it takes me work to function close to normal and still cant, can I receive a P&T OR UI code for this conditon
and do I qualify for A/A and what does A/A do , do they send someone to help me on my daily life? what about the SMC-S what is that some body told
me I may qualify.
Thank you for your help

I am 100%PT. I applied for SS years ago before being 100%. I'm thinking about filing again. Anyone out there with similar disabilities?. I have sleep apnea, migraines, and asthma, and etc. Is there any good lawyer representation that anyone can recommend? Is it worth it?

Update of VA Medical Records

feeds@yuku.com (Ranger1) — Wed, 16 Jul 2008 12:35:12 GMT

I have been 100% P&T since 2004 and am being seen and treated, under TRICARE, at a Military Medical Facility for CLL. I have not been seen by the VA medical system since the diagnosis of CLL. My question is, should I be updating my VA medical records with blood tests and treatment records fro the Military Medical Facility?

Loss of IU/PT

feeds@yuku.com (winger72) — Wed, 09 Jul 2008 10:28:10 GMT

Hi Folks,
It's been a while since I've had my c&p review March 18, 2008. I know thats really not that long ,but my real question is what is the likelyhood of losing or keeping my status based solely on the Exam which was basicly an IU fact finding with my condition remaining the same. However the doc that reviewed me was a GP and not Orthro which is where my disability is based. I have been 60 %IU/PT since 4/18/2002 , also I've maintained 50% for 32 yrs for the same...

If you get awarded IU P&T, what does the P&T really mean?

feeds@yuku.com (rashvic) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 23:05:27 GMT

What does P&T really mean? If someone who has been on IU for while could answer this question that would be great or anyone who has the answer.

100% without P & T

feeds@yuku.com (1991vet) — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 12:14:25 GMT

Hello,
I really enjoy this forum. It helps me help my bro.
I would like to ask a question in reference to my brothers situation, he is 100% for PTSD but doesnt have the P and T designation. If he has the P and T designation do they require future c and p's for him to endure? I have been told yes by several people and no by a few more. Can someone give me some further input? I was told by him being 100% for a mental condition he should already be P and T. I couldnt find a date on...

Good news but feeling paranoid--trust is hard to come by.

feeds@yuku.com (phoenix9666) — Tue, 01 Jul 2008 15:44:50 GMT

Received a call indicating 100% PTSD schedular granted effective October 2006. However, not P&T, even though my VA doctor clearly stated in two letters (Sept '06 and July '07) that my condition was permanent (I'm 60 years old). The 100% finding agreed with my assertion that a CUE had previously occurred because my doctor's letter was ignored in the rating decision (thanks for the guidance back then, Cruiser).

The VSO is recommending yet another letter from my...

Dumb Question Of The Week

feeds@yuku.com (Vet10) — Sat, 21 Jun 2008 08:28:13 GMT

Trying to get smart on this. Please bear with me. Truly appreciate all that contribute to this board.

You have two disabilities X and Y and are also 100% TDIU.

On disability X (60%) will not improve and you have Dr. letters to that effect. On disability Y (30%) it may or may not get better. No one knows.

One More Question

feeds@yuku.com (kynavyvet) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 21:00:17 GMT

I have one more question on the Life Insurance if your 100% P & T as I am. I'm looking at form 29-4364 "Service-
disabled insurance." Last year I had a heart attack and by-pass surgery. I also have non-hodgkin's lymphoma, neither condition
is service related. So I'm thinking I won't be able to get life insurance by using this form. Any thoughts or suggestions ?

Thanks again for all the positive feedback you gave me on my 6/6/08 post.

feeds@yuku.com (cvs) — Sun, 15 Jun 2008 01:25:19 GMT

Question on how long before I get paperwork? I have been 30% since Vietnam but about two years ago I applied for an increase, was in a VA PTSD trauma group for several months and a few other Vietnam related problems got worse. Last month a very sizeable check was deposited in my checking account from the VA and this month my usual 30% check was way more. My wife called the VA and they said I had been rated at 100%; I like money so I'm not...
