History: I have been treated for my seizures(tbi-related) for almost 9 years in and out of service and my TBI for over 13 and half years. My Caregiver wants to get on Tier 2 because the previous one was. I am going to do a patient advocate appeal and I have it typed up already and am going to...

I was awarded my higher crsc of 100%/595 last pay statement. I already have received the 1st payment and stub and am curious if the retro-pay shows on the crsc statements "eventually" on mypay or if you must just wait for a retro deposit. I've been receiving it (a lower %) for a few years and...

My Caregiver is becoming more stressed and pissed and wants to know how you appeal the caregiver tier. The previous one was on tier 2 and she is on 1. Not sure why they rater switched it when after it got bumped down the va later gave me another 100% for tbi w ptsd and gave me 100% crsc. I was...

Not sure if they will look at this or if it is even matters. I applied for a CRSC increase because my current rating is 10% crsc(no clue why they even gave me it originally). I just got PTSD rating because during a seizure/tbi c&p I talked to someone and they switched my %'s to TBI w PTSD 100%...

How long does it take for the VA caregiver rep lady to get back to you? I haven't had my caregiver money for 5 months now. FYI I have been getting it since 2013 BUT 5 months ago my wife n I split due to my disability, so another person has to become my caregiver (so I had to switch by getting...

It stated that my seizures were not Combat related. I had an accident on duty in 03 n was in the VA hospital MN 03/04. I recovered returned to duty(recovered from Coma/broken bone/head trauma/ortho/2months@mnVA). The documents state that I had SAH (which can cause Seizures), I have a report...

I've been out for 2 years and I just noticed an error in my MEB Narrative Summary with one of my conditions. Does it even matter? Is it to late to do something about it?

I am 100/100 n VA wants to drop my seizure code 8914 Epilepsy, psychomotor which is rated as "Psychomotor seizures will be rated as major seizures" & "General Rating Formula for Major and Minor Epileptic Seizures: Averaging at least 1 major seizure per month over the last year........ 100"...

I have 100% for my seizures and they wrote this for my TBI and gave me 10% for the TBI. What does it mean? (Under 8911-8914-MajorSeizures) " The evaluation assigned is based upon the highest level of severity for any facet of cognitive impairment and other residuals of traumatic brain injury...

They were going to lower my rating to 70%. As of now I called the VA and they are going to mail me a letter with the info for a hearing time & location (which will probably be the VA Nashville) to appeal the reduction of my rating. In regards to the missing appointment, the VA listed the...

I will request them. Do you think they can fax them to me if I call? Yes I went to all my appointments!! The confusing part is there can't be any data saying anything to lower my % below 100. It would be like saying " Well we cured his TBI and brain after this long 12+ yr journey"... I just...

There was no evidence listed in the packet, just two past appointment dates. So I am going to assume that someone made a mistake or had a misunderstanding.

For the record.. It doesn't matter if i got better or not because that just means I went from 25/30 seizures to 1-10 a month. So in the last 7 years the numbers just dropped that's it, I still have em and there is still no Aura and they are still pretty scary.

VA says.. 100% to 40% for my Psychomotor seizures because of whatever new evidence. I am not sure why but all of a sudden after 2 years they want to drop me on my %. I am 100%VA 100%Army and I have a Caregiver (my wife). Both 100's are for the seizures. The original 100% is because I have had...

The issue I am having is my 100/100 is for a TBI and my CRSC app is for the TBI(sameone) Iraq that is rated @ 100/100. I also have some other minor ratings but doubt they are combat related. I am an E5 w VA 2Dependents
