Mr Kimball, I have an attorney assisting me with my claim. For some reason, I feel things are dragged along because after all, attorneys seek lump sum outcomes for most vets. I find it hard to believe they attempt quickly resolve the cases.

Hi Dewayne, 13B Army Vet here. I missed the live stream but I turned on all notifications when it happens again. Have you ever run into a vet that’s 80% but bumped to TDIU but wanting to open some claims to get 100% scheduler? Or do you have any tips? I’m TDIU since 2013 but now have a wife and baby. I don’t work much because of my injuries but occasionally I deliver for Uber eats when we need a few extra hundred bucks for expenses. Would like to go from IU to 100 scheduler and can use some tips. If I file secondaries will they take the IU? Thanks!

Dewayne, I am at my end of the line! I need to get someone that will listen to the problem and the mistakes made by the VA with regard to my crecords & claims. I was at 100p&t but they are stripping it back to 93% because they said they made a unmistakable error. I had a nexus from a Colonel, full bird, flight surgen, and it was ignored. I had a TBI in Afghanistan 2014 so I'm getting very confused about going forward. I have yet to find a vso that has the time or knowledge to help me. Please advise me on a place I can go.

Can you answer this about VA car allowance? I can't seem to get a straight answer. I have 100% p&t plus SMC including aid and attendance. I don't have prosthetics at all but I do have a TBI and have seizures. I am not able to drive and in fact the doctor took my driver's licence. I have home care and I have to use public transportation which affects my other disabilities. Do I qualify for VA car allowance?

[@DewayneKimble]

Do you qualify per the VA criteria for the car allowance. You have to review the regulation and see if you qualify. Just because you can't drive is not the single criteria for that benefit.

Good morning. I have a higher level review claim currently pending as we speak; however, I decided to go back and read their initial decision letter, and I was kind of shocked about a statement regarding a visit for a separate issue. the claim was completely inaccurate and misrepresentative about a shoulder injury I had years prior. This was used to make their initial decision in my estimation. How can I retort this? Can I?

[@DewayneKimble]

The rating decision would have to be reviewed and then we can give you your options per VA guidelines.

Hi I am caregiver for Vietnam Veteran with 100% disability for Parkinson’s. I get a monthly stipend at level 1. In our option I provide all his ADL’s and requested to go to level 2 and was denied. Appealed with added info from his Neurologist where Dr said “ he can not maintain in the community” which are the magic words according to VA. We were denied again. Don’t know what else to do. Several interviews by the Caregiver Social workers said they stated since he needs so much care I should be elevated to level 2 stipend. Do you know much about Caregivers program?

Hi Dewayne, what is your opinion on submitting a HLR for incorrect effective date on a supplemental claim decision just received that was submitted timely. Effective date used by VA is C&P date.

[@DewayneKimble]

What is on the CD you received from the request of your claims folder? What are the effective dates after reviewing your claim folder?

[@cliffpage7677]

I have been waiting for over six months just to get copies of my DBQ and TERA which the VBA sends to the National Archives and they did not arrive in time to have the evidence in my hands at the time of the higher level review. This is inexcusable. The VA has a "duty to assist" and a governmental requirement to be efficient. the VBA is neither. The higher level reviewer called me and said that this was the interview. I told him that it was not because I had not been provided the evidence that I was entitled to and the failure of receiving was with the government. VBA higher level review closed my case, after he told me he would discuss the matter with his supervisor to reschedule.

The VA sent me their Decision Letter this week They denied all 3 claims: Prostate Cancer w/ ED & Kidney Cancer The Letter seems to contradict itself: The VA says that they concede I have disabilities, they concede that I was exposed to radiation and they concede that I participated in a TERA (Toxic Exposure Risk Activity) while performing my job as a Missile System analyst Technician ( EMT Team Member ) in the Air Force. But then they also say that the disabilities that they concede that I have were not caused by those activities that they concede I was exposed to in the Air Force.
