Yep fuckin sucks

I don’t need one yet but I have a lawyer on stand by I’ve heard how the va treats the vets

Va told me basically i was full of shit when i tried to gey help.

@@thomasreppond1352 Va dont care about us

You should talk to a Veteran Service officer and get your Individual Unemployability. Good luck.

Hi, I can relate, for I have the other PTSD and it is not pleasant. Find out if you can go into an inpatient PSTD program at VA, they are all over the US. 4-8 weeks. I went into one... I did leave early, but.. I recommend it for two reasons... kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jZlddaqYuqjTqIE.html

TruePatriot1776 ** I'm %100 P&T PTSD/Major Depressive Disorder. I did one tour to Iraq. While i was training in Ft.Bragg we were doing 5/25"s and the instructor rolled a simulated IED under our Humvee. And the gas tank blew up. There were two loud booms. So loud that the world looked like it shifted. The gunner jumped out because the humvee was on fire. Everybody got out the humvee just fine. But my door was stuck. The Instructor ran up the humvee and said "get the fuck out" im pushing on the door, kicking it, hollering and screaming, i smelled the smoke and felt heat from the fire. And i knew i was gonna die. Then i called on God, and the door opened! About 1 minute later the humvee blew up. It was like a movie. Then before i left for the deployment, my boyfriend at the time physically assulted me and slapped me across my eye i was sitting in driver seat and he was in the passenger seat. He was mad because i didn't leave him my car or keep my apartment because i was getting deployed. So he decided to put his hands on me. I had to report to my unit for accountability and my Platoon Sergeant saw my face and reported to my CDR. It was a mess. That happened days before we shipped out. Then i had to go to Iraq. So i had PTSD before i was boots on ground. Then i went to FOB Falcon which was fucked up, mortar attacks like every two to three days. Shit was crazy. After i got home, i went straight back to work. No break. Well maybe 2 weeks, then i went back to work. I didn't start having symptoms until i was back for maybe 2 or 3 months. It just gradually got worse. Still maintained a job, went to school became a medical assistant. Got a good job. Basically i started working at the age of 14. So working was just apart of my life. I busted my ass once i got back and never missed a beat. But while i was working my ass off i was also suffering from severe chronic pain all over my body. Which added to stress and aniexty. So then my pain wasn't controlled and i started flipping the fuck out. I worked at the VA almost fought two people while in the clock. Got into a terrible car accident because i hated driving and being in vehicles because i always thought i was gonna blow up. Most of my nightmares were of me being in bad car accidents, or burning alive in a car. Being shot in the head. All kinds of crazy stuff. Working was getting harder and harder. Then i attempted suicide at one point and was hospitalized. I got home from Iraq in 2008. I got %70 rating for PTSD/MDD. %10 right wrist. %10 right knee. %10 right ankle. %10 left hip. %10 right hip in 2011. I held on as long as i could. I was granted %%100 in 2016. I didn't apply for an increase until i knew in my heart, that i couldn't take it anymore. You know when its time. Some Vets lie to get money. When you really have PTSD and depression your miserable constantly. I'm always in the house. I dont drive anymore. My Husband drives me to grocery store. I cant be outside of my house no longer than 2 to 3 hrs, any longer i start getting very irritated and frustrated. I only go outside to walk my dog. I have a very boring secluded life but that's what's best for me. I'm afraid to live alone. My Husband and got divorced and now were back together. He treats me like shit but because attempted suicide twice last year i dont trust myself to live alone. I used to be so independent and hard working. My whole life has been turned upside down because of PTSD/MDD and chronic pain. So please, apply for your benefits you deserve them if your suffering. PTSD is like virus, it never goes away.

Feel your pain brother. Just keep moving and keep applying you deserve it. Semper Fi

true patriot i too have some of the same symptoms you just mentioned... I'm 60 percent for PTSD

I know the feeling

Amen brother! Sadly, the same here.

God bless you my Brother. I'm working on my P.T.S.D. PROBLEMS "NOW" I TO THOUGHT I WAS FINE. MY WIFE NOW( SHE'S MY 3rd wife and she is a blessing I thought I'D NEVER KNOW. THE FIRST 2 well I was just CRAZY AS HELL, ALL THE DRUGS, Alcohol & SURROUNDING MYSELF WITH THE WRONG PPL. I JUST THOUGHT THIS IS "NORMAL", I Couldn't KEEP A JOB, I WAS FIGHTING IN BARS, CONCERTS &/or within the GROUP OF PPL I CALLED BUDDIES/ FRIENDS. MY FAMILY HOME BURNED DOWN WTH ALL MY PAPER WORK ( DD-214 , PICTURES, ETC) AND THE V.A.HAD ME LISTED M.I.A.... GO FIGURE. IT HAS TAKEN 40 YRS FOR THE V.A. TO FIND MY DD-214. IT WAS MESSED UP AND AFTER 20+ YR OF WRITING LETTERS TO THE D.O.D., U.S.ARMY, ETC. WELL THEY GOT MY DD-214 UPGRADED AND THIS PAST 1 1/2 YRS I'VE Finally GOT HELP. NOW I'M UNDER THE OLD TYPE G.I.BILL SO I'm A LITTLE MORE LUCKY THAN YOU NEW Volunteer ARMY... HUNG TUFF BROTHER. MAX OF TEXAS

I understand. I waited 30 yrs to file. Have my C&P this coming week

It took me 20 years to apply too! Way too long! Get help ASAP!

I am at 70% and freaking cannot be around people

100% here spot on. I live by myself and have few friends and no family support.

ALSO, get written statements from friends, family, employers, past employers, your children, your spouse, ECT. A written statement about your behavior from someone really helps.

70 before first appeal and I’m definitely isolated and paranoid all the time. I have outburst at work and it’s hard on my very strong wife. No family support, they think I’m fine.

Straight up truth @TStreeter. It is like walking uphill, with a backpack full of bricks trying to get through the "fog" of PTSD and file a claim.

It is always hard to make sense of how one veteran receives a certain outcome and others don't. Every situation is unique with its own set of facts. That said, our strategy is always to focus on the current case at hand. Otherwise, you will only get more discouraged and frustrated. It sounds like you some serious impacts to your life as a result of your service to our country. If you feel like you are due an increase in your rating or benefits, we'd encourage you to evaluate your various options. Best of luck to you as you pursue that; reach out to us on our website if you would like to see if we might be able to assist.

Because they get taught how to play the system unlike us brotha! And you said exactly what you were doing wrong! You learned how to control yourself from just lashing out so you just missed the 100% because you manage to control yourself enough to not go off on the co workers and not say shit that wouldn’t be “ok” I’ve gone off threatning a co worker before like bad “I’ll sl*t your throat right here and now” In front of almost all my other co workers but they all liked me so never said anything and wouldn’t back the guy I said it to if he tried to report me to hr cus they don’t like him.

You should've joined the Air Force. Google Air Force Combat Controller John Chapman and ask yourself if AF personnel has never seen trauma.

@@cidcampeador7922that’s a combat controller….. that is not a average airman 😂

KEEP THE FAITH BROTHER!

God bless You Brother stay strong !!!

They're gonna have to cut it they won't be able to afford it cause Joe Biden is spending all the money and no one's going to loan Is us anymore money Just to pay our bills for 2 months we had to borrow money and Biden wants to spend 20 more trillion

You need to get a sleep study and a C Pap Machine

I got the sleep study and CPAP. Still denied for sleep apnea and AFib.

I had the same thing happen to me, luckily about 2weeks after I got my rating a VA Claims clinic "one day" processing took place. I went and a rating examiner reviewed my evidence and the notes the C&P examiner wrote. She did the appeal paperwork and bumped my rating for PTSD from 40 to 70%. All done in less than 30 minutes, its ashamed how the c&p examiners lie on their write up. I even filed a complaint on the new complaint line, they called be back and stated the examiner will be looked into, about a week later I got a call from the local VA Patient Advocate asking a few questions about my exam and the length of it. Call the new complaint hot line.

I believe that some of these VA Drs are mandated to keep the ratings down which is a shame to me. I have not worked for over 5 years, I cannot because my PTSD and Physical service connections have made me unemployable. I have 80% in ratings but somehow they only pay me 60% which I cannot live on. It's all a scam that is killing many Veterans. You are not alone.

+Tim Hassan I agree that C&P exams are often less of a Rating than what is deserved based on the entirety of the evidence. That is why it is often important to have your own medical evidence in addition to what VA obtains. If you'd like us to review your situation, fell free to reach out to us on your website www.WinYourVetClaim.com. If you haven't already, you may want to look into filing for TDIU.

I thought you had to have one rating at 60% to do that. I have 50% PTSD and 20% for my knee and 10% for my back. The last time I filed for TDIU it got denied and that was in 2015 I appealed it and have heard nothing

+Tim Hassan you need one disability at 60% or a combined rating of at least 70% with one of those being at least 40%

We have heard of similar stories to yours. Sorry that you are having to deal with this. Please let us know if you would like us to walk you through your options at this point.

At 70% for depression or ptsd u are eligible for IU.

I hope you got the help you need. I just applied for unemployability (I'm at 70%).

In Viet Nam we had a term for the solution some took...Fragging!

ray kester louis festin I just got my overall rating of 80%. I was US Army Infantrymen for 4 years 17 weeks. 2 combat deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan. My first deployment I was blown up when my Stryker rolled over an IED. I received an injury to my ankle and my buddy was severely disabled. Sometimes I can't even function. I am alright with my rating. Were you a Corpman? Did you receive your CAR?

Hi Ray what is the process to apply for TDIU?

Try talking to a Veteran Service Officer and have them put you in for you Individual Un-employability. Never hurts to try. God speed.

@Jaclynn Carter What is a secondary job? How to do you put things in to be added to your va benefits. Would you contact me please. I have a few questions. Thank you so much for posting. Thank Thank you.

With those issues, working for yourself in a way you have minimal contact with others might work.

+KitariFox I'm sorry to hear about these struggles you are having. It has to be tough only getting to work a few hours a week. If you'd like us to see if there's anything we can do, you can fill out a consultation request on our website www.winyourvetclaim.com. Best of luck to you.

KitariFox stay strong brother

Go for TDIU, it's near impossible to get combined scheduler ratings to add up to 100% disability with the 'Crooked VA Math'! If you look at your VA Decision Letter for 70% (I have the same), it lists a lot of things that make you unemployable. Don't forget people you know can write Lay Statements indicating your issues and how you can't function in a workplace...I am doing that right now. Wife, son's/daughters, peers I've worked with can all tell my story and how it's impossible to work with me...

You file a claim, the VA rating officer decides what percent you are.

Yes bro... sounds like you are in a "protected employment/work" environment. Which basically means someone who loves you is not trying to fire you for stupid things you might do at work, etc... seek out the VA for more information!

If you have any problems getting the rating you deserve, Contact your Congressman... and speak to his/her assistant who handles Veteran issues.

@BlueeberryWaffle I just finished filling out my appeal form.I will never give up fighting for myself n all Veterans.I am doing this on my own maybe eventually I will get help n advice from advocates etc.

No you don't have to be a war time veteran to get a PTSD rating. Only thing that matters is if it was caused by, or made worse by your military service.

I just got an increase to 70%. The VA sent me paperwork to file for unemployeability. I also receive SSDI because I can't work but that's not considered income and you can receive both.

@@ACyrrock004 really?? I just got rated at 70% as well (found out about a week ago) im expecting the associated paperwork /follow up letter today.

Under certain circumstances, VA could try to reduce your rating. However, if the current rating has been in effect for 5+ years that will be more difficult for VA to do according to their own regulations. And, if the rating reduction would negatively impact your overall rating, there is a process they must follow to give you advance of their proposal to reduce and allow time for you to respond. If you are reduced, you should certainly have the decision reviewed by an accredited attorney.

+Beau Long We'd be glad to take a look at it for you. Go to our website www. WinYourVetClaim.com and fill out a consultation request.

Perkins Studdard Veterans Law I sure will. Thank you.

Be sure to check that date. If you did not appeal then there is only a one year window. If you did appeal and they have just rated you, you may have a chance. Send to the VA Regional Benefits office a request for a copy of your C-File or at least a copy of you award and denial letters they sent you since 2013. Hope this helps.

Get a good lawyer!!

A doctor can comment on your ability to work, but many times it is helpful to have a vocational assessment done in your case. That is done by a non-medical professional who looks at how your disabilities affect your ability to work. We will try to do some videos in the future on this topic. In the meantime, feel free to reach out to us on our website www.winyourvetclaim.com for more info.

Don't count on the VA to do the right thing, you will have to file another claim or indicate your current disability has gotten much worse...have Dr. Statement/Diagnosis etc. otherwise you're wasting your time. IF they deny again, appeal, get a lawyer etc...

You could file for TDIU, although VA will look closely at your current work. We would need more information about your current situation and your work to see if there is still an argument for TDIU. We’d be happy to take a look at it for you and see if you want to reach out to us on our website, www.winyourvetclaim.com.

What did you have that got you 100% TDIU n P&T from that 70% ptsd? I have the same rating looking to add TDIU!

Good luck, Irwin! If you have questions or need help, please reach out.

Be happy you got that INdiana is THE WORST BIASED state in the union to get a rating period!!

Unless you have service connected disabilities other than PTSD and GERD, it will be impossible. You're better off filing for TDIU using the PTSD, get letters from associates/friends/wife/kids and your Doctor. The more evidence the better. Emphasize your inability to work with others, use the PTSD letter for the things wrong with you that apply to a workplace.

@@miltonturner2977 Well I have 70% and 10% for GERD. I'm service connected says right on my veterans ID card. Furthermore I truly don't know why the VA hospital hasn't given me 100% already due to the first fact that I have already had two brain tumors removed from my pituitary gland. And furthermore I suffer from TBI and PTSD as well as grandmal seziures. I often can go 5 or 6 days without any sleep. And furthermore when I was told by the Dr at the VA hospital about my first tumor. I will say this the Dr said to me if I didn't have it removed from my brain, within a month possibly two tops I would be dead. Schedule a appointment with the doctor for surgery and furthermore this was in November. And we'll the surgery Dr said they couldn't operate on the tumor, until like July which would mean I would be dead. And what is so sad is my appointment with this Dr was on Nov towards the end of the month right before I was to get paid. Pay day shows up and I didn't get paid, so I called the VA hospital spoke to someone who told me that same Dr went to veterans hospital payee or something like this. She tells them to stop my VA benefits check because I wouldn't make it is her exact words. And furthermore I got treatment outside of the VA hospital at UCSF hospital San Francisco CA had my surgery on Dec 16th and furthermore they have a UCSF hospital in Fresno California as well and the Dr who did my surgery has me go to this hospital for a shot and furthermore this same Dr said to me and my mom and the nurse! What shot Mr LaMattina hasn't had surgery yet I looked at her and said ya I did furthermore why are you here seriously ma'am the Dr ordered me to get the shot and furthermore he signed off on it to so ma'am please if you would get me the shot. The Dr takes the form from my hands, well she snatched them out of my hand and furthermore she had nothing more than the cafeteria lunch menu. I handed it to the RN who says to this Dr. Ok so you had surgery in the pituitary at UCSF hospital San Francisco CA , and furthermore you need this shot or it could kill you without it. Dr Kelly this is the shot he needs and furthermore can I speak to you outside no tell me here. Okay do you not care for the Life around you how long have you been a Dr? Well you better pray that young man doesn't want to file a report on your behavior and she said he wouldn't be able to cause he has TBI and can't remember my name I'm sure of it. This is when this RN said you must think I don't care about my veterans? Well I will give you your shot sweetie and take you to the hospital staff to report this Dr. Okay no problem I would love to report Dr Kelly for this and for stopping my VA pay last month thank God I was able to get it reinstated before they did finalize her paperwork. She looked at the Dr and said she did what well, well nothing get the hell out of the patience room and furthermore I will never ask you for anything again. And furthermore only thing that Dr said to me my mom and the nurse is he was supposed to be dead cause the VA hospital in Fresno California can't afford this type of surgery! This is why I did this to his pay. And furthermore for her I did write a report everyone did and she still has a job sad thing huh nothing has happened no apology for her actions nothing at all so. Fresno CA VA hospital is by far the biggest nightmare for any veteran I came from Texas to California and was in the TBI clinic getting help there when I got to Fresno CA. Oh you don't need that cane sir you don't need your tens unit so turn those over and we don't think you need to be in our TBI clinic anymore so you don't have to come back and furthermore I told Texas VA this and they were so mad they bought me a laptop and had me Skype in and they continued to teach me how to walk again from a laptop and furthermore they said without their help I would still be home going potty on myself and furthermore I would probably have drowned in my pee sad huh so I should be at 100% why I'm not I can't even tell you why but if you want to give me a email address I can email you to get me established for 100% I'd love to get started on the paperwork!

@@miltonturner2977 well obviously you don't know what a putitary tumor is. Cause if you did know what it was, then you would know that I should be rated at 100%! For whatever reason my VA Hospital won't give me 100% I have PTSD 70% and 10% for GERD. However I have the veterans hospital giving me kerpra for grandmal seziures and furthermore I have TBI and I have a plate in my head and furthermore I go to the urologist for testosterone shots each month because my tumor wasn't supposed to grow back like it did. However my tumor was partially removed, they couldn't remove all of it. And 1 year later it grew back to being almost two times it size. Not only just that but the putitary gland regulates your body and it's temperature it tells you to cool down it tells you when you are cold or to hot. It tells your body to sweat if you get too hot. Also I am not able to do this cause of my tumor on top of it I can pick up dry ice with my left hand and furthermore it not even burn me at all. As well as I have sleep disturbances all the time I am very visual with my surroundings in places I go to I count exists and people and furthermore I have trained all of our dogs to attack if they think we are being threatened by someone who doesn't belong that ain't normal dude. Furthermore I don't think someone who was in my unit and didn't deploy as much as I had to truly would understand what type of issues I have. Granted you may have served overseas and there's not what I am saying but me I was in for 13 years and deployed 8 times overseas as a US Army Ranger and furthermore we were attached to seals sometimes and marsoc and furthermore majority of the time we wouldn't come back to the fob we would stay in a village blend in and skyhook out and furthermore I was in 27th engineer battalion and 82nd airborne unit. So forgive me when I say to you your not like me we are two different types of people I don't take orders from anyone that would get me killed or my guys! I call in air support they come to me fast and hot furthermore majority of the time its from a raptor out at sea cause every single minute waiting for a slow ass warthog to get there won't work for us and I get people there to get us the heck out of there so we can move to the next objective. And furthermore I have been in a IED or VBIED. That is still known as being one of the biggest VBIEDS to hit a convoy and furthermore if you got a chance to watch a TV show I believe it happened three or four years ago called enemy within or anybody at the gate or something like that I can't remember but the introduction to the documentary or TV show had a big ID going off and they're very beginning of the credits check out the helicopter signal that's 5 miles away. This is the convoy that I was hit in and Furthermore I have watched my finance who was pregnant at the time die on a battlefield and furthermore I was told to go home to be with her sister and mother and father and furthermore when they found out she was pregnant and taking her RR the only people that knew was her mom and me and her sister. So you see I have a lot of PTSD and furthermore I never truly recovered from seeing that. Not only just that but I was blown up once again and this time sharpnel made me unable to have kids and since I have been 28 years old I have been suffering from ED. So you see what I mean I should be 100% I can't work in society I can't even stand people half the time and furthermore I have severe levels of PTSD and mild to serve levels of TBI!!! And furthermore I would truly do anything to get my life back together and be normal again but it will never happen so I am taking it day by day the whole dive in first figure it out later routine doesn't work for me anymore because to top it all off I am starting to go blind in my right eye due to the optical nerve detaching from my brain and turning pale white in color so you see what I mean. You seeved great not saying I did better than you!! No not what I am saying I'm just saying that until you have done what I have done and are that Broken down in life we're you have to fight the urge to make it out of bed to go to the bathroom or to get up cause you can't due to the pain of bulging disc in your back and neck you still try to anyways cause you know if you stop your going to die and furthermore I don't want this to be it for me not this! Not this so please take your negativity and go somewhere else with that shit man cause I have been through such a nasty life that I don't want to bump heads with you. I think maybe you know what you are doing but truthfully maybe you are a good attorney after all cause I think you would know what I was telling you is enough to get me approved for unimployablity through VA hospital especially if I already have 80% service connected and am getting SSI. So maybe you think you truly know but I don't think you truly do anyone can read notes and furthermore maybe you aren't the right answer for me or anyone else cause you don't know that I should be rated at 100% but you don't see me so you don't know well and that is the problem you don't connect with your clients like you truly should i have given you some information on my health that anyone who has a clue would understand that I should have my 100% why I don't one will never know. Cause okay VA hospital even has given me two phonak hearing aids cause I have moderate to severe hearing loss in my right ear and profound hearing loss in my left ear.... So once again why am I not rated at 100%????

have a sleep study done, sounds like you have sleep apnea

Yes, as a general rule there are income limits for TDIU. There are exceptions if the work is sheltered work.

@@Veterans_Lawyer ok how does a loss of identity diagnoses factor into my claims

yea

Depends on whether your PTSD is triggered by being in a small room with strangers discussing your symptoms.

They Will reduce so get on it

Antonio, I hear what you are saying. I worked for the VA at Vet Centers. I filed over 100 claims for PTSD and fought hard to get vets their due. I am also a Vietnam Vet and am at 70% with TDIU since I retired. Based on what you stated it seems the C&P examiner did not do a thorough job. The question is if you are still working. If you are you won't get TDIU unless you cannot work. A suggestion if you are not working is to find an outside psychologist or Psychiatrist that is familiar with PTSD and bring a copy of your C&P so he can review it and explain or write his opinion about you being unemployable. Good Luck.

I'm at 70% PTSD and 80% total as of a couple weeks ago. I didn't get along with most of my ex-bosses or ex-co-workers as well. I love that you fought 2 supervisors lol. Do you have video of the fights?

@593PIMP I worked out my issues by writing my own buddy statements, and now I'm 100% p&t

@majikk9123 Very nice. Good for you, man. I'm after 100% P&T as well. I've been fired from 4 out of 6 jobs in the last 10 years because I can't get along with idiot bosses and co-workers, and altercations followed. For the P&T, did you qualify for SSI and/or SSDI, and isn't the cap on working a taxable job 20 hours a week and around $1200/ month or so?

Very true! Many veterans are eligible for benefits but never receive them because they either don't know about them or never actually apply, which is why we try to help spread the word on this channel.

@@Veterans_Lawyer VA designed a system to discourage payments to Veterans. It is clear from the time file a claim to denial of benefits.

I tried going for IU but instead got 100P&T and SMC-S without even asking for that and all in a matter of 4 months. Unbelievable when compared to the horror stories written about this process for some people. In my case I felt like the VA was actually being caring and accommodating to me. I also cannot own guns for a few years for being ‘mental’

To my brother in arms. Never give up the VA the wants you to die or give up.

Yup I'm 70% PTSD and they denied me my pistol permit

The Watcher does Texas do this!!! I swear to fuckin god

If you are 100% for PTSD and have Total Disability and Individual Unemployability (TDIU) then no. But if you are 100% cumulatively like 70 PTSD, 60 GERD, 30 knees etc, then yes, you can work.
