Thanks for helping others. This Q&A show over the past months has helped me greatly. I got my 100% P&T after being no rating and it took 15 months. I love the no whitewash, raw answers. Keep up the great work. I got out of the service in 1986 after 8 yrs in.
I was in the Army 3 years! Then I was in the Air force worked 29 years let go because of a sleep disorder went to court said I Won ! but the Air Force Lawyers toke it to a higher court Again I won! Court after Court each I won then the last Court was the Supreme Court. They told me I would have to pay my own way! Pay Hotel Rates plus all my Witness's and room & food. And of course I didn't have that much money! So today I only got 1,200 a month and since July this year toke off 200 because the State of Florida is not paying Medicaid.

Hey, Carol and Matthew, where is Gerry Baker? The three of you all is like winning an NBA Championship. Your team is the "dream team." Reference the question getting sleep apnea, secondary to rhinitis or sinusitis, after reading your colleague Chris Attig's website in 2012, I was able to get sleep apnea service-connected, on my first submmison. The C&P examiner wrote my nexus statement and rationale. The examiner used rhinitis, but I filed using both conditions. Thanks! Air Force, Vietnam Era Veteran, 1971-2001.

hello my husband is 70% but according to his pay term: pension compensation. VA then comes back after appeal for increase and TDIU, now he has 4 C&P'S. He cannot work , he is struggling too bathe, clean and a litany of other depression issues... He has been in patient to Rocky Mountain VA psy. twice in two years. He cannot function without his medications. He is struggling in all platforms of life with very little improvement. ALSO our DMV denied him his DV plates stating it did not say permanently disabled, very vague technicality? or is this something you have seen?
FYI,I was advanced on docket(age) and it took 23months and 2 weeks for approval after the claim was remanded by a judge.Even at that they still missed the original claim date by 3 years.Best of luck to you.
I was denied sleep apnea service connection in 2014 a so redid recently denied again even my dr at time gave statement under her care while in reserves but when on active duty had chronic fatigue and dizziness and other was treated do i have an option left.

I was 170 and lost 10 percent. When I went to 160 I lost my SMC but I thought that long as you was 100% and had to combine the 60 you would get SMC.
