Your videos are the most informative and articulate on TH-cam. I have done 3 upgrades to my disability rating from watching your videos and I have reached 100%. I refer ALL my friends from the military to your videos. Thank you very much!!!! - USMC Veteran Ret.
Thanks a lot for the imformation given , l"m a sc veteran for more than 30 years a 100% disabled and this imformation is just new for me. God bless you my friend.😊😊😊😊
The E.D. situation can also be caused by Certain types of medication that the V.A. gives u. For instance... P.T.S.D. The stuff they give has a side effect of lowering sexual desire./ability the E.D. claim rating for that will probably be. "0" %. but it still is rated and u will be eligible for S.M.C.- K
Most veterans are afraid to apply for more compensation due to them possibly losing their current payments My husband has a combined issues rated at 80% plus he is rated unemployable. Yet he should qualify for special compensation but is to afraid to lose what he current gets
I was in the US Army, 19 Delta Cavscout June-October 2001. I got hurt, but the injury healed a month later, but they did also get me for respiratory problems which is listed as preexisting condition, a MED-200 discharge. You can only get benefits from VA if you got a MED-40 or were in the military for at least 2 years! So basically if you don't fulfill your Commitment they give you nothing. Sucks.
I have had total vocal cord removal and cannot speak at all. My wife has to be with me whenever I go out anyplace . I am 100%P&T . Can I receive the additional benefit ?

My Mom has Service connected disability. Her disability is Seizures.
I am 100% P@T and ptsd for 60% with my wife and we receive monthly about $4500 .Would it be worthwhile to see if I am at the peak payment .thanks Bill Becton
I have a question, if rated for at 100% TPD and develop another chronic diabetes and using a CPAP at night ? Was told if adding something else to claim they may revalue you and you loss the 100% rating. You should wait about 20 years before you file another claim, may die before then. Is this true?
Wish I could afford an attorney....im in severe pain to the extend I can't hide it anymore....i can't even walk right. The doctors at the VA told me it was bad and that they can't fix it. I really need disability.
@@HillAndPonton my back problems aren't military related....i got turned down because I didn't pay in enough....turned down for sis because I have a few acres of land.
David I don't know where you live but try to find a stars and stripes organization in your area, they should have attorneys that work with you on the amount of money you have to pay. I have an excellent attorney through this organization and she has helped me tremendously...good luck

Can SMC awarded to my spouse, she is my daily caregiver, things such as, meal prep, making me eat, does my laundry, manages my many medications, constant vigilance against suicidal tendencies and idéations. Controls a regular bathing schedule. Suffers from my ED. Really my complete support system, including making sure during manic depression phases controls my sleep habits so I can retain a job?
Hi Gary, there are caregiver benefits that perhaps you may want to look into. Additionally there's Aid & Attendance. Here's our video on A&A: th-cam.com/video/6gGuAUxW1oA/w-d-xo.html and here's our written article on caregiver benefits: www.hillandponton.com/va-caregiver-program-veterans-eligibility-assessment/
Wish there was a way for me to get an increase, I'm at 100%, but I also believe I have special monthly added as well, but I don't think my classification fits me, with the loss of function of my left leg/foot and neck problems it'll only be a matter of time before I'm in a wheelchair
You would know If you had any SMC added to your VA rating because your decision letter would tell you and you'd see a difference in the amount you receive.
I appreciate the educational Videos that your Firm presents. May I ask, what is my Brother to do when his current Law firm is not responsive, and he has already been granted approval on four conditions from the BVA since last June? If you can help him, I would appreciate it. / Thanks
So i have just seen your video. I am drawing 50% for 2 different conditions, but my question is i have been complaining about my back hurting since 2011 but they told me in 2015 i have mild scoliosis but no one will help me get a rating for it also i have had hearing aids since i was 28 but 10% is all they give what can i do
Kirk thats all the va will give you and they give that to you for tinnitus not hearing loss. I have a hearing aid that the va gave me for my right ear. I'm service connected hearing loss with 0% rating
The process can be confusing when it comes to applying for conditions and the appeals process. But to quickly explain to you and help you out, I will make it simple. When it comes to hearing aids, you are maxed out at 10%. But when it comes to your 2 service connected issues, what you don't realize is that you can get other issues to be connected as well because of those. Maybe other conditions are secondary or caused by or aggravated by your 2 conditions. Let's say you are connected for your right knee injury. But then you want to get your back connected because your knee is aggravating your back because knee injury can affect the back and so on. Also, recently the laws have changed and now pain is a condition that you can also get pain for, or get paid more for..... And if you ever run into any problems like you cannot get service connected for your injuries because there is no medical evidence of injury in your STR's, remember that you can have a Buddy statement or Lay Statement from lets say either someone in your previous unit that you served with write a written statement or your spouse that says they saw you get injured when the incident happened and say what happened included the pain they saw you experience and so on. But make sure they notarized it and put the proper language for the sworn statement in order to count. And if you do that, it will get service connected if you also have lets say medical records after the injury showing continuous attendance at the doctor. Like lets say you make a statement too that says since you got out you have been having continuous pain and inability to walk or whatever. And then you also submit your medical records at your lets say chiropractor for your back injury. If you do that, you can have all uour injuries service connected because you have risked your life for this country and its time we pay you back for your service and sacrifice..... I wish you good luck and if you ever have issues, file an appeal to the Board. That is as high as you can go after a HLR review of you submitting your 0996 form if that gets denied by a DRO. File your form 9 after the denial of your 0996 and trust me, you will get your issues connected. But please hang in there because that might take like a few years for Board Remands or Board Appeals....
How do I file a Secondary Claim for my Tinnitus Condition. I currently am rated at 80% with 10% for hearing loss but not compinsated. I have other back issues that i would like to file a secondary claim for ?
I have really bad Ménière's disease.. I'm service connected I have PTSD also SC I need lots of care. I have injured myself so bad I can use my Left leg and I'm deaf in one ear. I require a person to stay with me when I am bathing. I am wheelchair bound. I am IU Permanent and total for PTSD but The menieres is equal. I need help
So I have a torsion testicle that didn't get taken care of 23 years ago in boot camp and it's still there and still painful how do I figure that for a disability with the VA now??
That's a great question, Allan. While the system is supposed to automatically consider certain benefits for disabled veterans, we typically recommend reaching out to a local VSO or the nearest VA's regional office to inquire further regarding applying. The more time passes, the more compensation is being left on the table.
My husband passed away last June with recurring lung cancer and the doctors at the Va hospital kept telling us he was free from cancer after having half lung removed and when the doctor did the surgery he was going to take the wrong part already had started cutting on the wrong part. That is a shame and so much was done wrong during his final days it would take me a hour to write everything wrong they did but I get DIC not enough to live on and he died from agent orange causing the cancer I think I should be paid more.I would appreciate any assistance
Melissa, gather all paperwork - you have the right to request all hospital/doctor records, including any surgery he had. Make sure you get the official Dr. report - the one where the Dr. himself recorded/ made notes. If you have everything in hand, go to your local VA office and tell them all this, and then show them the proof. Also, all his service records - they will show all stations, and where he came in contact with Agent Orange - I think everyone on the ground came in contact with that , it was so widespread. BUT-bottom line here, okay? The VA will never pay anyone enough "to live on." And have a decent, comfortable life. Bad as it sounds, be thankful you're getting any amount. Good luck, blessings to you.

I tried for 5 years to up grade so after five years they gave me a token 10 percent and only back dated it 2 months. It was for a parachute accident in 1975
Have been on SSDI since age 43 and am now 58 years old. I have been fighting VA for over 20 years and all I have to show for it is 20% for a right ankle. I have 30% on 3 separate items shown in “pension” which is useless to me as combined income is too high. I have a diagnosis on my SSDI Statement of bipolar disorder, back injuries, and ptsd all from military service however VA has done nothing but deny. What should I do and can you help? I’m at my wits end.
I am very sorry to hear that. Do you have an open claim with the VA? If so, please feel free to give us a call at 386-257-2100 to see if we may be able to assist. Thank you!
Sounds eerily similar to my fight with VA, was finally able to sc my left ankle 10% after 27 years, nsaid use to cope with pain led to stage 3 chronic kidney disease secondary to ankle 80% sc added osa at 50%, migraine 50% and combat ptsd 100% P&T with SMC-s all in last 9 months. Educate yourself and never give up!
How do I get a claim open with VA? I'm a homeless vet in Savannah. I know I have service connected injuries. At least I know they are. A Veteran service officer in Port St Lucia, FL told me a few years ago I to spend about a year in emergency rooms in order to be taken seriously. HuH? Thats remedy??
Also if you are awarded a rating, it will all be retroactive payment. That being said, I’m sure a good deal of cash at once would be nice to help you get back on your feet. So go do something about it and go get your money and turn your life around brother

I have a diagnosis on my SSDI Statement of bipolar disorder, back injuries, and ptsd all from military service however VA has done nothing but deny. What should I do and can you help? I’m at my wits end.
I am very sorry to hear that. Do you have an open claim with the VA? If so, please feel free to give us a call at 386-257-2100 to see if we may be able to assist. Thank you!
Sounds eerily similar to my fight with VA, was finally able to sc my left ankle 10% after 27 years, nsaid use to cope with pain led to stage 3 chronic kidney disease secondary to ankle 80% sc added osa at 50%, migraine 50% and combat ptsd 100% P&T with SMC-s all in last 9 months. Educate yourself and never give up!
I took care of my ex husband for the last year of his life ...am I able to get paid for this.
He was in the army 101 airborne. Vietnam nam agent orange ailment.
How do I get a claim open with VA? I'm a homeless vet in Savannah. I know I have service connected injuries. At least I know they are.
A Veteran service officer in Port St Lucia, FL told me a few years ago I to spend about a year in emergency rooms in order to be taken seriously.
HuH? Thats remedy??
Mike Twiddy Do you have a VA rating now? Are you trying to start?
Also if you are awarded a rating, it will all be retroactive payment. That being said, I’m sure a good deal of cash at once would be nice to help you get back on your feet. So go do something about it and go get your money and turn your life around brother

I'm in Marion Courty Florida. Ocala, FL.
I've been to the VA clinic here and I have an appointment on the 8th of July. I've already had one vets fighting for vets Agency steal my whole medical record in Savannah so I came down here where I heard the VA is a lot better at helping us.
I went to an office today called Vets helping Vets. And made an appointment for Monday at 9am to file a claim. Is the anything you think I should know MR Eric Lou?
Thx for your help.

I I have a good time to do this morning and
Tell them PP no work. From depression. That's extra $118 a month.
Hello I have alot of Q and A.
Been waiting 10 years for VA benefits. Stopped waiting. Either give up or hire a lawyer.
@Mister Miggs Tried that. Several times. Never called me back. Just like WW2, Vietnam, and Korea Vets will have to wait 20 or 30 years before we see anything from DS/OIF/OEF/HOA. 10 tours and lots broken things would seem like enough. Thanks for responding. Be Safe.
