All, I am trying to understand VA C&P benefits. My brother in law served 27 years as a LTC in the Air Force (active). He just received 100% P&T at the end of November. He started this claim as an appeal in 2011 and won in November 2014. For some reason he will not receive any back pay. I am...

I highly recommend all Chapter 61 Retiree's take a look at the link below. Once you get there make sure you are viewing the "action center" HR 333 and 303 are back on the hot seat. I am trying to cool off after a hell of year 2012 and will keep political crap off this board. But I will say this...

Well folks I thought I would post since the Commosgt needs clarification on a few questions. Here goes, I am 90% disabled through the VA and retired through the PDBR at 30%. I have had two C&P examinations 12/19 & 1/3. If I am granted 100% schedular or P&T does this qaulify me for CDRP or CRSC...

Why do we continue to vote for politicians and presidents that continue run our country into the ground, treat veterans like rats giving only bread crumbs, still have claims backlog etc etc. I could go on with my rant. Why is that people!!! NDAA 2013 is a sham job. I am sure there is many...
