I know it has been posted that the VA Medical and VA Pension side are two different things but, I just want to make sure. It's mostly mental health issues that I struggle with. And if I'm being honest, I would be okay with being taken off p&t if I make progress but, my biggest fear is that any...

Just an update for anyone who cares.. I received a call saying I would receive paperwork for a hearing but the site still says that "medical decision has been made" so maybe it's just a glitch or something.

I got this off another site. "They're probably deciding whether they have enough information (forms filled out correctly etc), your case necessitates a hearing, etc. Again, I'd call if you're worried but mine says the same thing and it's been a month or two. If you haven't noticed this is...

Same happen to me but.. I didn't submit much when I requested to see a judge so in just expecting to get denied again =/

I'm 100 p&t and medically retired from the military. I've been denied twice already for ssdi. Not sure if I should just Google ssdi lawyer and go from there.

Hey thanks for posting. I called the ssa office a week ago and they said since I'm a wounded warrior and 100 P&T that they would call me back right away to talk to someone but I haven't heard back from anyone. I will try calling them next week.

I was recently placed at 100 permanent and total disability through the VA and was told I could apply for social security. I was trying to fill out the form online but it seems a bit overwhelming. Do they want me to type in all the bases I seeked mental health at, doctors and therapists I've...

It doesn't hurt to try. I've done it and although it won't tell you exactly what medication will work best for you, it will let you know which medications will have the most effect on you now that can either be good or bad. It would help your doctor a little bit to determine what meds might work...

Hello I've been on tdrl for almost eight months now. I received a call saying they wanted to check up on my anxiety. My only concern is that I decided to stop seeing a psychiatrist at the VA and I'm in the process of trying to seek help outside the VA. Just not sure how this will affect...

Thanks for clearing this up. I've called both the VA and dfas and non of them where able to explain this to me. I will fill out this form and send it in. Thanks!

What does this claim process mean? What do I need to do on my part? "Ret Pay Amt Needed From DFAS" "Our review of your claim indicates that you may be receiving military retired pay. Please tell us if you are receiving or expect to receive military retired pay or any other military benefit."...

I got out a few months ago and I guess I should have started getting my disability from the VA buy now. But after going online and checking eBenefits it's asking me whether I'm receiving money from the military, which would explain $2,000 deposit I received a few weeks ago. My VCO said the only...

I wonder why they told me not to bring anything.. The first appointment at a different location said to bring my cpap but when I moved and came to this place they just said bring yourself

I'm suppose to have a sleep appointment tomorrow with the VA. I've already had a couple of sleep studies when I was active duty stating I had sleep apnea. They told me not to bring anything but, shouldn't I at least being my sleep studies and even the memory card from my cpap to show that I've...

I recently got out a few months ago from active duty. I'm on a temporary medical retirement. I started making appointments through the VA to get additional medical help and they want me to do another sleep study. I already did two while active duty and have been on my cpap for about a year now...
