I had to quit a full time, fantastic job, simply because VA is not
providing the essential Care my father needs. We could not afford to pay
for the full time care he needs. I am alone. No siblings to help and he is
divorced. He is 100 percent service connected disabled. So why does the VA
not help as the private doctors all say he needs? I don’t know. They do
help a little with financial needs but we are barely getting by. We can’t
do any activities for pleasure. We are both house bound due to financial
reasons. This shitty government has ruined half his life and 1/2 of mine. I
can even hold a relationship because I can’t “spend enough time” with the
other person. When he passes away I will likely be in my mid to late 30s
and I’ve been caring for him since the age of 16. So I have wasted my
life(not wasted but certainly have not lived) because the VA is cruddy. I
deal with cruddy VA employees on a daily. They always mess stuff up. They
don’t care about veterans at all. Shame.
Dear Family and friends,
Linked below is a brief video.
As a disabled United State’s Veteran, with two distinct Honorable
Discharges, I am entitled to medical, mental health, aid and benefits.
I am currently submitting my full case for rating before the review
board. If I act promptly and with your “Letters” this case can be settled.
I am only including a few of you into this circle. Your discretion is
assumed. I thank you for your consideration(Finally!.. most of you shout).
Let there BE PEACE ON Earth and let it begin with me..

wow, i only got 20% for shoulders, 20% for ankles. I should of lied like
what the guy hint (wink wink) me to do. Dammit
I only get 60%
i faked my claim and got 90% disability, 70% for mental problems, 30% for
multiple sclerosis, 10% for my back, 10% for tinnitus, and 10% for an ankle
injury.
i dont know why my computer stuttered but i meant to say that my back was
in my medical records. the VA swt ne up with a dotor to varify my injuries,
they asked me about my mental health stuff, took xrays of my mand and
ankle. me hand was healed so no rating there but my foot was still healing
so evidence was showing up. they xrayed my back. and my MS was diagnosed
after the fact so they went off my doctors recomendations and reports.
90% you cant get over 100%.

I have IBS and trying to prove it is very hard. Anyone have any suggestions
or guidance?
yes you can.. but the highest they pay is 100% im 160% disabled with it all
tallied up. i am also TDIU.. which is total and permanent.
i really didnt fake my claim. i was put on a medical board for my mental
health. apparently when my psych sends me to the mental hospital twice i
get seperated. my other things i have medical documenttion for. my multiple
scleroses was diagnosed by a doctor, my foot injury was fresh when that
claim was filed, its better now. ack wain my medical record and tenitus i
just told them i had it and the hearing test the VA gave me showed signs of
a hearing loss.
@emuguy2003 how do you fake a disability???
130%?
I don’t recommend for vets to do it themselves. I used DAV and so far I’m
at 30%. I’m waiting for the answer to come back on for the check I had.
Scum bags – bottom feeders – oxygen thieves fake their claims, because they
hurt the VA, and fellow veterans. If you know of such, thank him for
helping to jam the system up. This video is the best and most articulate
off what I have seen that explains the process, A bit simplistic, but
accurate and very useful.
