VA lawyer recommendations in Atlanta GA?
Can u tell me a god lawyer to help the veteran in Tx
Good
Cck, Does a Veteran initially need a rating to file for Tdiu
I am a disabled vet, my left foot was crushed aboard ship. The toes on my left foot do not bend causing y to walk on the side of my foot. I had to have a hip replacements which I feel was caused from not being to walk correctly. I have also developed gout and arthritis in that foot. I get 10% for my foot. The VA also diagnosed me with PTSD and gave me 40% making my total 50%. The VA has also diagnosed my with sleep apnea and furnished me a machine. How can I get arthritis and the sleep apnea connected to my foot and PTSD for a higher percentage. The pain caused from my foot from walking on side and little toe has been a problem. What do I need to do to have these two added to existing disability’s.
Thanks for your service to our veterans.
Excellent presentations. I will review this from time to time to help me be a better Post Service Officer. Thank you very much.
First, Thank You for the Awesome information you provide through your videos!
If I had a MVA and conditions from it prevents me from working, are there options to pursue 100, even though my condition was not service connected?
Yeah I've been fighting the VA a while, got out of Army service 2011, the hundred percent you quote it seems a little bit high that seems like that was for a married veteran possibly with a dependent. Just a little over a year ago I went through a different organization and I finally was awarded at 90% but I'm a single vet and I just clear 1800 a month. The last I've checked for a single vet at 100% what's 3057 a month. Still Goin In doing my check-ups, especially recently about three months back, had a car accident crashing into a fixed object while driving I say supposedly because I really didn't know I was driving, I blacked out totally unaware of of my surroundings of what was going on and what was happening do you know I was involved in an accident until I woke up in the back of an ambulance suffering from a head concussion. And the EMT telling me I was an accident. Having the VA looking for the cause of that blackout never happened in my life ever before was the first time ever and I wouldn't call it syncope I didn't think just suddenly black and couldn't recall anything no memories

Currently, a veteran with 100% and single gets $3,106.04.
Married 100% gets $3,272.22.
Married 100% with children gets $3,406.04.
You get $1,862.96 at 90% and single, right?
Hello Jon Roberts, I hope you get the care you need
They placed my knee disability rating at 20% and I’ve been fighting forever to get it increased not to mention the back problems and sleep apnea that they continue to deny
I have a question. MY deceased husband was a Vietnam vet in the Air Force. He had Metastatic Gastric Carcinoma that traveled to the liver. He had other conditions that the Certifer didn't list on the death certificate and he refused to add his other conditions. Please talk about the Metastatic cancers. Thank you.
Do you represent veterans or provide counsel prior to a veteran going through a med board?
I just want to know how to get va's attention to the brain surgery I had, because I'm being told it's not military related after working with dangerous jet fuel for over two years. I also have a lung and heart condition that wasn't there when I raised my hand.
Greetings. I was medically discharged due to a bi lateral knee injury in 2000. One month after discharge I had reconstructive surgery on one of the knees. 3 months later they operated on the other knee. Is there a timeframe to file for temporary convalescent rating?
Hi ! My name is William Schmidt I received 90% disability . I won’t to get a 100%. I got to fly around the ship more then once doing storms at some with 90 foot waves typhoon off the coast of Japan ! There’s a lot more that’s happened when I in service ! 2010 my kidneys stop working & had a heart attack’s I also was told I COPD & PTSD I got rate unemployable by unemployment I got a awarded SSA ! I had 40% for fibromyalgia with 10% disability for golf war ! Then I filed for PTSD I got awarded 70% my total disability % is 90% & now I do kidney dialysis , I trued working with my old boss one day but it didn’t go so well with the severe muscle spasms and cramping through out my body feeling sick hard walk around with out falling down it would cause Angela attack then in up in the hospital for 4 to 5 day just for trying to work !

There just so much happening to me I don’t know how long I will last a live with the different medical problems I take it one day at a time and laugh when thing get worse and there’s nothing I can do about it except to try to fighting to live everyday no matter what happens to me !
If your 76% or 80% with 100% for TDIU. How is payment done to the lawyer? I was hoping for 100% PT but it seems overwhelming. Local VSO just says they can help fill out and process paperwork, cant really tell you how to word it. Its all about language and key words for a lot of it. So they are no real big help. I have stuff SC but at 0% and stuff that should be SC but they didn't list it as SC.
hello I need some advice , my question is The VA referred me to a Dr for cataract surgery and it all went wrong and the end result was I loss total vision in my left eye,it has been a Big hinderance to me so I am filing a claim for 100 % disability cause they referred me I had the same surgery done on my right eye and it is fine,I was told they did not refer me to that doctor,but it shows in my records that they did, I really feel I deserve this,I have a claim with the VA which I applied for in January , have not heard anything yet…
If I have a 70% disability rating with a 30% on employability should I leave it alone on my secondary conditions?
I filed TDIU after my failed back surgery in February last year and I was denied not once, twice, but three times and I am appealing it. They left me unable to function to lift above 25lbs without pain and that's without bending to lift. I have seen their own discrepancies in their own wording. I used the 38cfr to address those issues. But will they go back to the initial application for back pay? I am still unemployed and have applied to some places but they will not hire me as I am
Do you have legal help, if not get some
if you are currently using voc rehab chapter 31 will they revaluate you while in this training?
Thanks William for that juicy tidbit.
How
long will it take to receive a decision on m
I just got a VBA decision from a judge in Washington D.C.... My regional VA changed the decision to less of a disability. Can I appeal this ?
There should been a paper , in the package notice of disagreement and appeal form . va keeps telling me they wont to see new dbq's relating to the service connection disability , no old filed paper work because that is considered already view submitted claim ..
I got my 100%
Great! Do you mind telling what is your medical claim and if you had to appeal to get 100%.
She looked the same as the VA staff, hence immediate 100 percent, no proof needed.
100% pay is 3,106.04 a month veteran alone not 3,221.85
If u have surgery they take away after a year ? From 100%to 10/20%
i already have 100%, do i have to do any thing else to receive the new cola.
I have degenerative arthritis of the spine to include spondylolythesis, with radiculopathy in both legs as secondary service connected. I’ve began to experience plantar fasciitis problems in my right foot. Can I reasonably connect my foot issues to my back?
Crazy you and I almost identical conditions. At the moment the VA looks at my conditions independently instead of connecting my feet issues to my back.
Have you been able to get MRI's . VA for me keeps only wanting to do X-rays, and make comments like "well your x-rays look normal" you have a little arthritis. Degenerative disc disease, Facet Joint Syndrome. Doc is calling it osteoarthritis, constantly hurting in the lumbar area of the back and down to the sacral area, with only burning and stinging Sensations, no numbness no tingling no weakness, but doc says burning and stinging don't mean much shoot hell hurt like hell to try to do sit ups it would inflame my lower joints, and have a hard time picking up and lifting things heavy even like furniture, I tell my brothers don't expect me to help you move. I just can't support the extra load on my lower spine. Good luck to your brother and thanks for your service
I have this too.. dr says it’s DDD
@@jonroberts6518 I feel you Robert. Yes, I've had X-rays and MRIs that confirm lumbar disc issues. It affects my right leg and foot but the VA reduce me from 20% to 0% for neuropathy. I think wording is critical when you submit a claim. You have to word it EXACTLY as it says on your medical reports.
@@CBL138 yep the verbage and right words thats what the raters want to see. Shoot I was in a hospital 3mos ago from an accident, I was telling the doctors my left shoulder blade hurts like a b... They were like what ? Like if I was speaking a forgien laugage to them, until I called it by its scientific name ( scapula) they all a sudden knew then oh ok . yeah you broke some ribs near your scapula. Doctors sometimes. 😡
I am a medically discharge veteran from 1988 wasn’t aware about claiming benefits during that time so when I try to claim I found out that the military has lost my medical records but my DD 214 clearly states I was medically discharged so when I filed I am denied saying I need proof that my Injuries was service-connected How can you help me with this?
I know it's a year late, and I'm surprised no one said anything. You need your actual no shite medical record jacket, you can file a claim without it, however they need documentation on literally everything.
My wife is at 30% for a knee replacement that's been causing alot of back issues, she's now been admitted in the nashville v.a. hospitol for infection in her spine, she now has osteomylitus and discitus, she can barely walk right now but I'm sure after infection is gone she will be better but this is the 2nd time in 5 years that her back has had issues, im trying to figure out who to talk to so we can get her v.a. rating up but I'm not sure which lawyer or who can help us with her case, if you have any leads please let us know

As an example of the VA's complex rating system for multiple diabilities ? e.g. 70% PTSD, 40% Hypothyroid ( newly added) and 40% OSA ( sleep apnea) How would the VA rate those? what would be the VA rating on these as common examples Thank you
Sorry about that Jon, but a first year Med student knows that an MRI shows far more than an xray. You need better medical treatment. What state are you in.
what if you attend your virtual meeting and the doctor doesn't show up ????
I have a combine rating of 90%
Im service conicted had flate feet was not let out untel 4yrs and denied reinlistment. And 100percent. And was told tongo to work. Im cripled. Samuelspencer im 65yrs old.
So if I’m 100% disabled through social security would that make it easier to get tdiu?
I'm 100% with SS and that has no bearing on what the VA does when determining disability. I've been disabled and receive SSDI form SS but the VA won't even look at that...
G 138 yea I’m starting to notice that😩
Can a hereditary condition be service connected? Is it enough for it to be discovered in service?
Sorry no
But talk to someone more qualified than I am
Yes and no. Yes if the preexisting conditions were aggravated by service while in service. No if it was not aggravated or caused by service.
Can my mother the surviving spouse of a veteran at age 88, qualified to avail the disability benefits due for my deceased father, prior to his death. Pls consider.

What if I'm a non-service connected Veteran for over 30 years, how can you help me get service connected?
you have to get your military medical records and then file claims for what you are claiming and have medical records to back it up....BUT you must file a claim on you conditions.
Were you ever deployed in a combat zone?
If you're thinking of filing...file an intent to file if you haven't already. That'll give you 1 year to work on & submit your claim.
@@igotthis6529 that's great advice that I hope he takes
How do I get to talk w/u or someone? To get started?

Hello, would it be possible to get in touch with your firm in regards to my disability? I'm currently receiving 20% for tinnitus and my foot injury. I was a little disappointed with the 10% for my foot. I look forward to speaking with you.

Good job your law firm is doing.
My husband is 60 years old and retired U.S Army Veteran who already has service-connection disability( at 10%) for his hearing (but not bilateral).
The issue he has is that he was admitted into the army with a flat feet and a locker than fell on him while he was still in active service.
My husband filed for service-connection and only got for hearing due to working with ammunition section assigned to him.
Recently he has underwent surgery for disc degeneration to his back area. Can he reapply for an increase in his service-connection rating or not?

I just want to get to 30-40%
I thought the VA has to first establish that the veteran is considered an actual veteran based on discharge character of service then they follow all the other steps he explained.
That goes without saying, dude.

Oh my God y'all are boring. I mean get out and get a glass of wine or champagne or whatever you fancy lawyers get. But Jesus spark it up a little bit, have some fun motivate the people you sound like you're talking about funerals
Crazy thing is i was thinking the same thing and then saw your post ....🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️🤦♂️
VA Math requires MIT degree ! Very Simple. Dental Benefit and higher pay makes 100% rating unattainable. Also, you must be full time "couch potato" and no mention of having a "job".
VA doesn't like to grant vets 100 percent
Yes I know
