"Need help"

Thank you, you have just discribt me completely! I've not brought myself to file for ptsd. Shame, things that I've gone through in life! & witnessed. I definitely need help. VA, has made me even more stress. For example "c&p exams" they are like a scam: ive brought fiscal evedence with me. It was just ignored. If this is the way you treat your solders after , laying your life on the line for 9 +yrs. ???

A C&P EXAMINER cannot check you out and cannot treated you at all and their decisions could be way off without properly checking you out like ordering a MRI or CT scans and looking at a DBQ that was file from the private Doctor for this reason it's a waste of time and causing the Government Millions of dollars like a VA EXAMINER said if they can't send for any exam it limits they finding .

I've recently submitted myself. I underwent a circumferential instrumented fusion at L5-S1. Does anyone know what that would qualify for and also any pointers/guidance would be greatly appreciated!!

Is it true, that you can combine radiculopathy with back condition for TDIU purposes.

Got out military 25 years ago. Never went on sick call for sleep problems. Last week got diagnosed at VA hospital for severe obstructive sleep apnea and issues CPAP machine. How can I service connect sleep apnea? Or can I do secondary to mild concussion or to rhinitis??

I'm service connected with 50% left hip, 50% right hip & 60% for gerd. What is my total percentage with the bilateral factor?

I have been at 80% for a few years. I just got denied for 100% tdiu/ptsd increase. I made 40000 last year and just found I got denied, but this year it's getting worse, I no longer work at all, caves are falling in on me. I am about to contest this decision. How should I feel about this. Ty.

What if the Va knows I have sleep apnea

We who went to combat do not have PTSD. Combat Veterans carry two crosses NO ONE ELSE CARRIES! We who go to combat, FROM THE WEST; Non-Christians DON'T SUFFER PTSD because their religion or government rewards their murders; they don't go to Sunday School where King David is King because GOD REWARDED HIM FOR KILLING GOLIATH and the father of King Solomon -- I don't believe in any religion and didn't go to Sunday School nor Church, but I studied religions: Comparative Mythology. What makes the Combat Veteran Unique is that we MURDERED people and WE SURVIVED. A, what is now known as "first responder, may see many horrible things, and crash and mangled bodies and such like, but the "first responder" is going to someplace to HELP someone. We who go to combat go to put a bullet into someone, kill someone. We are there to save one groups way of life and end the others. Our "job" is one of destruction. The "first responder" didn't cause the crash, the building to fall, the heart attack; "they" get to do good in the eyes of ordinary people but us in uniform are not seen as saviours, we are the destroyers in the eyes of the civilianry. When I came back from Vietnam, all of us were told NEVER TELL ANYONE YOU WERE IN VIETNAM. The VFW REFUSED us entry into their brotherhood of beer drinking old men. THEY DID, but, of course they deny that. The VFW was our grandfathers, Fathers, Uncles, all from World Wars. The VFW saw us all as drug users. Of course, to them, pot was a drug but alcohol wasn't...And now I am not receiving anything from the VA but RESENTMENT AND HARASSMENT. Our VA instillations/hospitals are to be over-run by the ANTI-AMERICAN putz president, Biden has opened the VA to people who NEVER SERVED and their only attachment to the military is THEY HATE US AND OUR WESTERN WAY OF LIFE, for health care; abortions, Genital Harvesting -- or the euphemistic LIE of Sex Change surgery (et al) -- and not to forget those trash people who have crossed our "borders" and now live in five star hotels and get to jump in line before a Veteran at a VA instillation. I don't even have a primary anymore, and no one at my facility knows when I will get one...if anyone else in our world were to have a suicide rate like those of us Veterans, especially if the person or people where illegal, or Black, or ... if anyone BUT Veterans were to have 22 commit suicide EVERYDAY those Biden-ites, who are destroying our peaceful world, there would be a billion dollars given to them and cover them all in cotton. 22 Veterans commit suicide daily, every day, and that means nothing. 24hrs in a day. 22 Veterans put a bullet in their ear in that 24hrs. That means EVERY HOUR AND FIVE-MINUTES, OF EVERYDAY A VETERAN, LIKE ME, PUTS A BULLET IN THEIR EAR BECAUSE THIS COUNTRY AND THESE DEMS HATE ME AND MY BROTHERS-IN-ARMS! I can't find anyone who cares enough to do something. I"ve been without teeth for going on five years because of the lies and road-blocks the VA throws at me. I've been given appointments at the local VA and when I get there either I was suppose to be there an hour earlier -- even though my appointment letter states that I AM ONE TIME, or the front desk doesn't show an appointment for me...the list is long and I have no hope I will ever have a life. AND NO ONE F-ING CARES. THANKS A LOT AMERICA.

Thank you Mr. Studdard for helping me. You and your team rock!

Have had a fib since 88 spent 6 months at lejune exposed to toxins in 79-80 for 36 years in and out of emergency rooms cardioversions multiple ablations medications and the va gives me 10% rating for tinnitus? Have to go back for 2 more visits with clinics that va contracts with to establish service connection? Am i missing something here?

I was not retired but I am at 100% P&T. Can I go somehow still get on the retired list?

Service connect for insomnia claimed as .major depressive disorder anxiety and sleep patterns disturbanestdi did not get pdst didn't say mood

More of the VA’s DIRTY treatment of veterans who have honorably served. Shame on you VA!

You are only allowed to make no more than the federal poverty line for a given year. with no dependents is like 18,000 a year

I'm only 10% and tape recorded on hearing on outside. And they (v.a.) got away with it 10 years ago. V.a. just swept it under rug. Can't find attorney

I have all 5

I'm a Vietnam Vet with a severe heart condition, triple by-pass and pacemaker....I have my C&P and I found out very quickly that the VA and their Doctor's who give the exams are not our friends. They'll shoot you down in a heartbeat.

Yah I can see that will happen to my case. I’m still using cane cause of my hip’s surgery and knee pain which not services connected. I applied for TDIU for my mental health issues, migraine and IBS. I hope they don’t do that dirty work on me.

If I make an investment owning the majority of shares in a Corporation .but I am not a officer . Can I receive TDIU ? I plan on investing in a business C Corporation for my children .

Hi I have some questions regarding TDIU. so I spent hours on Reddit on this topic and most opined that you can’t go to school if you are on TDIU since if you are able to go to full time school, you should be able to work. That was their argument and that the VA will terminate your TDIU. I also saw most people saying you can’t get on vr&e if you are on TDIU because TDIU says you are unemployable and Vr&e is assisting you to achieve employment through education or other trainings. So they contradict each other. Some said vr&e reps refused accept the application because somebody was on TDIU. That was their argument. My argument is that I believe if a person with 100% p&t can go to college, anyone should be able to go to school. If you can’t go to college while on TDIU, it implies nobody with let’s say combined disability rating over 80% should be able to go to school because they all do have severe disabilities. Some said you can’t go school if you are 90% disabled because the VA will assume you have improved and Lower your ratings by scheduling c&p exams. Please tell me all of this is false. If you could make a video on this topic, it would be so helpful. I have found nothing on Google on this topic. This is useful for young veterans like me who want to go to school. There is not a single video on this topic on KZfaq as well. Thanks.

what if you have debilitating condtions that are not rated yet because its tied up in appeals?

What about 20 shoulder and 20 scars from that surgery?

Was diagnose in the military with Sleep apnea in the service had the surgery. Did a sleep study and provide a nexus letter. Still denied. Took it a HlR won waiting on the VA

They found a 4.7 cm aneurysm inside my heart. I wonder what kind of rating they're going to give me?

Hello, when I was 40 I went in for an MRI because of coordination issues. The Neurologist said I had Mild Cerebral Palsy which I obtained at birth. I had no idea when I joined and passed all the medical tests. I have VA benefits will this diagnosis affect them negatively or does the presumption of soundness?

Short and to the point . [ vets like it that way ]

I'm currently at 70% for PTSD. I'm still working at the moment but due to my PTSD I miss work often. I make myself go to work, so I have enough money to pay my bills. How do I go about getting TDIU? Can I file for an increase and maybe use my work history as evidence?

I am rated at 90% disability. I also receive 100% for TDIU. I am 76 yrs. old, and have been getting this for about 3 yrs. Can they because of my age, reduce me back to 90%?

5:13 Once you submit the 8940 and 526ez, how long on average does it take to get an approval? I had bone surgery with a graft and screw placement and will be out for awhile. I'm service-connected with the knee already, I'm retired getting SSDI. Thanks.

I was just awarded 100% for PTSD I work full time and was working full time at the time of my C and P exam.

VA CRSC!!!! This is an older video but to clarify as well.. combat doesn’t have to be overseas. It can be combat rehearsal stateside, preforming hazardous duty as in airborne operations, and exposure to instruments of war.

My cardiologist has diagnosed me with an enlarged heart along with having AFib. Question is what if at my C&P exam with an EKG performed there they were to say that my heart ISN'T enlarged? I'm asking this because i have an upcoming C&P exam and don't have much faith in the process

What does alcohol have to do with ptsd rating ?

Does tdiu have income limits I’m 70% ptsd 80% total
