Moving To SC - Property Tax

feeds@yuku.com (timlab1955) — Sun, 08 Nov 2009 06:20:14 GMT

Okay, decided to move to SC now and wondering about the property tax down there. After reading the tax laws of SC, it states that "the letter we are provided from VA" that states we are 100% SC doesn't count. So how does it work? Is it worth moving to SC?

feeds@yuku.com (Aim4fun) — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 02:18:04 GMT

Got the letter today. Finally received P&T so now my wife can get CHAMP-VA insurance and my younger kids can go to school. Also received SMC-K for ED, both have taken a while.

Now that these last two things have been approved I have no claims pending with the VA. That is the first time that has happened since my first claim many years ago. Add to that the approval last week of SSDI I will not know what to do with my time. What will I worry about now? I have run out of...

Does anyone have a sample letter for a Dr to write in support of P & T? One that focuses upon spinal injuries would be best.

If you are IU P&T with Chapter 35 what is the difference than regular IU other than the Chapter 35? Thanks Semper Fi

Just a quick question about P & T...

feeds@yuku.com (wileydemon) — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 04:25:43 GMT

Hello folks,

I finally sent a good nexus letter for my new and material evidence claim for major mood disorder secondary to my service connected disabilites. I am already rated at 60% SC, and am currently on disability pension. I am considered 100% P & T already due to my mood disorder, so when my new and material evidence claim is done (which I feel quite certain I have fulfilled all the legal requirements for establishing secondary connection), do I have to do anything else...

Agent Orange new presumphitive listed should I apply to list it now 100%VAUI p/t

feeds@yuku.com (earn) — Tue, 27 Oct 2009 12:39:34 GMT

I am on 100% Disability P/T IU

I have been P/T 100% IU probably since 1985.

I opened my case back up in 2002 to ask to add diabities as it is presumphitive for Agent Orange. I was given 10% for Diabities and kept my 100% Disability P/T IU

Now, the VA has listed Ischemic Heart Disease as presumphitive.

I have had two heart attacks and quad tri bypass surgery and have Ischemic Heart Disease as diagnoised by my private heart dr and the VA has my heart...

First, let me thank MiltStar and OldPhatVet for their kind and helpful posts on 10/24/09. If you would be so kind, I do have several follow-up questions regarding my husbands' disability status and future VA examinations. I have restated the short summary of the original information regarding his Vietnam injuries below:

Evidence at hearing

feeds@yuku.com (phil) — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 12:10:34 GMT

I have a hearing in November, because I put a claim in for P&T and the examiner at the C&P exam stated that my peripheral neuropathy in my lower extremities has become better. This Dr was not a neurologist and he refutes the VA neurologist from 1 year ago stating that I have svere neuropathy. The VA proposes to reduce my Comp from 100% to 90%. I just had an exam by an outside neurologist, and he states that I have severe neuropathy and a host of other life threatening problems.

Hello Old Friends,
It has been a while since I last posted. Went through some tough times. Good news is I received a letter today that stated my P & T was granted 1 Jan 2006. Letter simply stated" Toi whom it may concern (my Name) is rated as P & T and back dated to 1 Jan 06."
Now what? I do have a one child in school and one dropped out to due to finance. I have a third who wanted to go but I could not afford it. Getting one through...

Permanent vs Total

feeds@yuku.com (jblack1765) — Fri, 23 Oct 2009 07:17:48 GMT

I recently applied for 100% Permanent status - but did not mention Total (I can and still do work). My research doesn't show that the two terms are intertwined but congruous.

Any ideas or knowledge about awarding the permanent status without the total attached?

Thanks guys

What are the differences in benefits between a scheduled 100% rating and a IU 100% rating?

feeds@yuku.com (jcwa) — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 18:59:47 GMT

Are there any benefits to getting a scheduled 100% instead of an IU 100%? If you are able to work you could do so without risk if you have a permanent 100% scheduled rating and still receive the same amount of money that you would get if you are 100% for IU? Is that correct?

Permanent Rating?

feeds@yuku.com (mdavet) — Tue, 20 Oct 2009 09:30:09 GMT

Good morning Veterans.

How do you know when a rating is considered "permanent" by the VA? I have read all the paperwork provided and my entire claim decision and there is no mention of "permanent". Is it implied or does it have to be specifically stated?

Thanks.

Update on Baghdaddy

Hello Everyone,
Thought I would update everyone on my claim I filed when my VA doc said he considered me totally disabled because of my discs in my cervical spine, thoracic spine, and lumbar spine. I had filed it awhile back and I had gotten a letter from the VA stating that they had received my claim just about 3 weeks ago. Well, today the VA called me and said that they wanted me to do a C&P exam on my spine this week!! I scheduled one on the 21st. I hope good things are...
