LIVE VA Disability Q&A Atty Matthew Hill [03/01/2023] 

These people need to answer questions

So if I was in Naval Aviation service 1976-1982, exposed to chemicals and JP4, and more, and had kidney cancer surgery in 2010 is that Presumptive?

Great info, Thanks to You, your staff , and most of all Combat Craig

Thanks for answering my questions.

THANKS for all you help. I am retired Army and was awarded disability. my retirement pay has my 10% deducted then I get a check from the VA for that amount of 10%. It appears that I am paying for my disability. Anyone else here retired and having the VA deduct funds from their retirement funds to pay for their VA deduction.

Thanks

I'm 100% T&P for PTSD alone, I have other issues, but the VA does not recognize anything but my tinnitis which is 10 %. I have back and knee issues, congestive hearth failure, diabetes, copd and high blood pressure. Recently, I applied for Aid & Attendance as well as Compensation for Care Giver for my wife and was denied. I don't understand why.

Diagnosed with service-connected Parkinson's 2018. Now I have been diagnosed (EMG) with markedly serve peripheral neuropathy. Secondary claim??

Hi, my PTSD claim was denied because it stated I was not in combat. Which I wasn't but I was an Military Police. Dealt with dead body's and parts of dead bodies.

Dan H Dan H 1 second ago I am waiting for a Judicial review (3rd level). I don't know what to expect. The first and second level should have approved my TDIU...clearly I have paperwork (SF50) indicating disability, plus several letters from doctors which allowed me to retire from the government. I am currently at 90%. This is frustrating. My VSO said this should have never gone to the 3rd level. So what am I to expect on this televideo?

I got 100% TDIU on 2/22/2023. I still have 3 other Claims in. What should I do? Can I put in other Claims? What is my solution?

Have you ever heard of this explanation provided? - VA’s National Work Queue (NWQ) awaiting assignment/recall by a VA Regional Office (VARO)

Hi there. So I am at 30% service connected disability from Agent Orange and have Diabetes,Hypertension, Glaucoma ( and losing my sight) and now Chronic Kidney Disease stage 3 (I believe.) I have not filed for the CKD or sight loss and not sure how i would pursue this at this late stage in life. I am 77. What , do you think, my chances of being approved for this and perhaps Peripheral Nephropathy might be as an educated guess ? It was such a long and stressful process initially that I hesitate to even enter that fray once again. Thanks do very much for your podcasts and discerning of info to us all. Please stay safe.

BUYER BEWARE! I shopped hard for a competent law firm and these guys scored low on my list. Incompetent intake, first of all. I discovered they take like 30% or more of your award. I finally found the Cameron firm in San Diego, who won me over $50,000.00 in a few months and only charged me 20% of backpay!

My sleep apnea was denied, can file a secondary claim for sleep apnea due to having PTSD?

Mr.2100hrs, 20 March, 2023. Hi Mr. Hill, I am a 41 year, Totally and Permanently Unemployable, USAF, and I am all so a widow of a deceased active duty USAF VETERAN. I have been trying for about the last two or three years for Aid and Attendances. But I always get denied 🙅‍♀️. I don’t qualify for it. As each year and appeal goes by my need for this is needed more and more. I am at the point in my life I can’t take care of myself without the help of someone else. The VA has been as homebound veteran. Please is there something that I can do to get around this? Thanks Sunshine
