[@yaminceja3771]

Thank you it really help I will let my husband know thank you God bless

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

I hope you guys can get on the program because it does offer so much help for him and you as well. I remember my mom getting group therapy talking to other moms and finding better ways to treat their veteran

[@wesleywashoe8029]

So the caregiver program has been approved for for veterans who served before 9-11? if i herd you correctly? i am rated 100% p&t plus 60% with house bound & 3 other (smc)..My wife is a successful real estate agent who owns her own company & works out of her office in our home. she could really use the help while taking looking out for me..the last time the VA. told my wife i don't qualify for the program because i wasn't a 9-11 veteran. Ive broken my lower back,pelvics,right femar,suffer from nerve damage in both legs & have paralysis in the right footAll from active duty overseas .I can't remember the medical terminogoy for the ratings the VA. gave me, but i can't hardly walk now until i get my spine fused next month i have two collapsed discs & i am wheel chair bound half way now, but i suck it up & do the best i can.Sorry they screwed you too,you fought in Iraq or Afghanistan they should let you have it.(gulf war/desert storm/Somalia combat disabled retired veteran US NAVY )

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

Thanks for the update man

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

you are welcome my brother

Thumbs up. Fight back!

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

I would love to and I can but its tiring. It will reduce my visits to the VA which is much better for me.

[@wardogs161]

I am rated 100% P&T by the VA and I am medically retired. I submitted several applications for caregiver support 3/4 times and they denied all, saying that my conditions is not permanent. I filed an appeal and the same individual denied my appeal.

Iam is 100%ptsd an 40 TbI I haven’t been able to work since my discharge My dececion makeing is like a 5 year old I have problems holding items constant dizziness headed running into stuff but Iam at tear 1 I have seen other vets getting the highest tear an have about the same degree should I try to pursue a higher tear

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

continue going to your doctor and reporting your symptoms. tbi is different and it is a blanket diagnosis over ptsd and youre lucky to have both rated separately.

[@csucujo]

CombatVetVlogger good-to-go devil dawg. Outstanding!👍

[@combatdouglas9966]

That is why I wanted to talk to you. I saw this coming. You in Brooklyn? I am in Miami. Semper Fi buddy. Let me cogitate. I may have a solution for you. Meantime good luck.

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

nah my brother i am in the bronx. hit me up through email and i we can exchange numbers. but i am not going to fight this decision. i may have an appeal and technicality but its way too much to go through and if the program is available 20 years from now maybe i will reevaluate getting back in

[@combatdouglas9966]

@@combatvetvlogger8685 your email? You did not waste your time. You gave another Marine an idea. I already have a neighbor delivering pureed food. Bean curd shit. I get help w/ my hand braces. Told the VA doc you need a 2nd set of hands to put on your hand braces like you need a pair of glasses to find your glasses. Duh. I sleep in my clothes so I dont have to dressb/c I cannot just like I am getting my bud to type this. You gave me an ideas. I can still think...sort of. Thanks brother.

So would the caregiver support program ever mess with your rating? Also why would they not just use the C and P exam but also want the evidence that was given to c and p examiner?

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

its a rehab program so its supposed to get you better. so yes it would mess with your rating

[@tunechebrewski1438]

Hey 👋🏾 brother I have a quick question. I’m already rated 90% with tdui. I wanted to know if I file a new claim for migraine an file am increase for my skin condition. I wanted to know if I get denied for my 2 new claim would it affect my tdiu??

[@combatvetvlogger8685]

So you are TDIU with a 90% rating.. you are already at 100% based on TDIU.. why would you want to jeopardize that for new claims. you are basically opening up your case to be re-evaluated and I dont know if they might take your TDIU rating away but it would be pointless to make 2 new claims.. example: I am at 100%.. if i go put in a claim for my neck and tinnitus it would not change anything. i will still be 100%..
