Well today I officially joined the group of VA disabled vets. I got my %results back from the VA. Is at least alittle extra fixed income that I get from 10 years of service and Combat Tour.
Kyle....I just did a C&P exam today, my first one. The examiner wasn't very happy with the Navy letting me out(retiring me) with nerve damage in my right wrist from an accident. I've got two trips to Detroit VA headquarters comming up as well for other stuff. I gotta feeling they're really NOT gonna be happy when they put a scope in my chest and see the asbestos barbs sitting in the scar tissue of my lungs. NO...I'm not having fun yet. How long did the whole process take? I've been working on it since Mar 09.[

Yeah they are very UN-helpful some times. My biggest problem is my wounded left hip, and since the VA is contracting out most of their claim exams I get a local "pain specialist" who doesn't read my history, tells me its all in my head, then I get 0% for a combat wound cause the guy says" I have normal strength and motion" which he didn't even check. So I am very angry with that and filed a appeal.
