    VA disability for income tax question

    Item 4 provides the option to receive VA disability pay which will offset military disability retirement pay dollar for dollar. VA coordinates directly with DFAS and this will be shown as VA Waiver on monthly pay statement and is deducted from gross military pay pretax. You will receive a 1099-R...

    is it worth it?

    asthairman, If you have any documentation or evidence that this condition is in your military records than you should file a new VA claim. The claim for VA 21-526 is available on the VA website. If the claim is accepted the timeines vary but it is not a quick process, 6 months not being...

    V.A.Total & Permanent Disability

    This is from the CFR. As in most case with the VA it is unclear at best. I have personally opted out of a local government zoning board commission ( an unpaid appointment) after receivng 100% TDIU because I had no desire to provide the VA an opportunity to revisit the rating. It is in my mind...

    documentation for TDRL

    When I had my re-evals I received a letter from the Medical staff at Moncrief Hospital FT Jackson detailing time, place, POC and what/where to send documents. I also had documents which I hand carried the day of the eval. This letter was received about 90 days in advance and orders were...

    Tib/Fib fractures, ACL tear, chronic arthritis

    What is your range of motion? This is probably the most critical factor in rating fractures. I think the DOD rating is grossly inadequate unless you have complete range of motion, which seems highly unlikely with all the hardware in your leg. Do you have any nerve damage? Your gait can be a...

    Help Understanding Narrative Summary DA 3947

    This is my opinion only but I think VASRD code 9434 (Major depressive disorder) closely mirrors the ICD 296.22 (Major depressive affective disorder single episode moderate degree). How this translate to a rating percentage seems difficult because the disorder has to fall within one of the...

    Fed Up , Pissed Off, signed it anyway.

    You can beat these medical morons. They try to baffle you with bullsh--in hopes that you will get POed and accept their poorly crafted if not outright fradulent findings. For example, your shoulder issue should have required a Range of Motion test. If they did not do so then they failed to do...
