Thanks for the heads up, as I would have never known to ask. I actually spoke to my PEBLO last week to see if she had heard anything with regard to my case ( before I received the PEB letter) she told me she had not and wouldn't hear anything. I was told either I would get a letter or I wouldn't...

I just received my "certified" letter from my first TDRL re-eval and as the title says I was moved from 60% to 10% separation with severance. Currently under the "Diagnosis and Rating" section on the letter from the PEB -Category 1: Unfitting condition is "Autonomic Neuropathy" VA diagnostic...

Hi everyone, I had my first TDRL re-evaluation today and I'm just a little confused. The doctors were very nice and were in agreement that my condition is stable and has not gotten worse or better, but they really didn't seem to know much about the TDRL/PDRL process. Is this typical, and what...

Just FYI on SSDI. I applied while I was on active (about 21 months ago) and was denied. I appealed and was denied so I hired an attorney and was waiting for an ALJ hearing . I got a phone call Thursday afternoon saying my hearing was set for Friday . I immediately called SSA and they had an...

I just got my letter for my first TDRL re-evaluate for POTS syndrome. Anyone have any experience with a re-eval that involves POTS and autonomic neuropathy.

Scott, sorry to hear of your troubles. I went through many of the same tests (MRIs, CTs, EEGs and on and on) and have a lot of the same symptoms as you. After a year of testing and I was finally diagnosed with POTS syndrome/Autonomic Neuropathy. You may want to ask your neuro or PCM about being...

I applied back in April of 2015, about 3 months before my TDRL start date. I'm rated 100%, my claim was denied. I handed it over to an attorney and have been waiting ever since. Is this typical for such a long time span between denial and the next phase (AlJ)?

While on TDRL, if you have new medical issues that arise will they be rated by the VA?

Thanks GS, So would you happen to know where I can find guidance on as to how many classes have to be taken "on site" to receive full BAH, or is it you just have to be "on site" for at least one class per semester

Hope everyone is well :) Just had a quick question. I know that you have to attend a physical classroom for +- half of your time while earning your degree with the Post 911 to receive BAH. Question is, are there any exceptions (attending class entirely online) for those rated 100% by the VA and...

I guess I now have the same quest as Hawk now.. Can this be done on Ebenefits and is there any particular details that should be included ?

Mike, Charlie Thanks, that helps a lot. I was unaware you could request to be moved to P&T while on TDRL Charile, what is NOD?

I hope everyone is doing well. I just have a quick question. I am 100% SCD, filing for SSDI and just bought a house with my wife. I see that most states require 100% P&T for the exemption and being on TDRL as we all know can take up to 5 years to get a finial rating. Does anyone have any advice...

Would you have any idea if there is a way that this program could apply to spouses ? My wife has student loans and just was curious if its something i should look into

Yes you can. Im actually buying a house now. The lender used my VA award letter to document that as income.

I wouldn't wait to apply. Applying and receiving SSDI benefits can take up to two years. I applied in April, and I am on my ALJ appeal stage and will have to wait at least 6 more months for a hearing date.

A few things that may help. 1. No electronics 2 hours before you are going to bed. 2. Look into getting some tart cherry juice or extract and drink it a few hours before bedtime. It helps produce melatonin naturally. I was taking melatonin and it actually had the opposite effect kept me up...

I didn't get a lawyer either because I thought my case was VERY clear cut. When I applied, in addition to the required documentation, I sent my NMA, which stated my ability to work in any capacity was impacted 100%, LIMDU profiles, records from the hospital I have had to be taken by ambulance to...

I found one here in the DC area. I could pass his information along. He may know of someone that could help you out in you area

Thanks GS Im actually still in the DC area and was primed out of Walter Reed and in fact, I still have upcoming tests and appointments there. My TDRL date was July272015 and plan on staying in the area, at least for the next few years because of being treated at Walter Reed and trying to...
