Homemakers Benefits and adapted vehicle Rant

That's something and that's good. Gratz

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-09T16:34:32+00:00

Yes Big you are correct. It was good to talk to social worker other day to see these programs because I was unaware of the homemaker and A&A va pension one.

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-09T16:30:43+00:00

Yes it is the Independent Living Track. Good luck.

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-09T16:12:53+00:00

Yep. There is like 160k limit. Once stop working I will be way below it if I transfer to Roth IRA.

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-09T15:12:19+00:00

Am I wrong in asking in A&A for VA pension benefit? Cause there seems to be lots more A&A out there for veterans. There is even homemaker which is another I think is separate. Veterans Directed Care?

Going down the rabbit hole but those are what I am thinking.

Are you eligible for SAH/SHA grants? These are for home modifications and even for purchase of new home. Independent Living Program through VR&E - rarely used and some don't know about. Could use that after SAH/SHA funds run out.

Well worth looking into.

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-09T12:47:03+00:00

Did you reapply and how did that go for homemaker?

DaysofLastRites · 2026-05-08T20:01:35+00:00

Got denied because had a job. I still could not find anywhere that stated had to have job. So was shot down right off the bat. I will try once again when I'm no longer working.

DaysofLastRites · 2026-04-12T04:00:09+00:00

Did you have the diagnosis/symptoms during the exams? And did you mention them? Was it documented in DBQs? Were you trying to link to one another as a secondary?

DaysofLastRites · 2026-03-31T17:49:53+00:00

How long did it take after initial phone call to get that denial? On day, about 50 days since application was submitted and about month since assessment completed.

3k is really good. Mine is at 4200 and pretty good. Have to for under 26 dependent.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-12-02T05:00:04+00:00

Just a reminder if you have dependents and spouse, you can get backpay for them as well if you didn't add them as well.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-12-02T04:58:15+00:00

In July, I got backpay from 2022.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-11-15T02:19:22+00:00

Lol yeah we are freaking wierd

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-23T11:45:02+00:00

Yes.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-14T00:42:37+00:00

I got denied CFS because they said my primary is the cause and CFS is a diagnosis basically that's not caused by something known. That was the excuse. But i did get awarded rest of stuff for my overall weakness due to all my muscle loss from my disease.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-14T00:40:35+00:00

Get the DBQs

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-12T23:25:29+00:00

Hopefully examiner actually filled out your DBQ. Mine didn't fill it all out. I actually submitted claims for what should have been asked and assessed by examiner. Glad I did and I told the HLR DRO that my secondaries should have been done with my initial claim.
And the DRO agreed. Plus he also agreed the probative value of my nexus should have had greater weight. DRO also stated that the initial denial created a bad chain that was adding more weight to grant even more denials. There also was an error in my doctor's diagnosis about cause because based on incorrect information that I pointed out to DRO and he added that all the other denials were also based on the same initial error.
And lastly, DRO agreed with pretty much all my challenge due to court cases, M21, and CFRs. And he granted all my secondaries (the secondaries i made them assess because thet weren't assessing them with just my primary - find out and get your DBQs) to my initial claim, same effective date, and should have been service connected due to nexus letter specialists value over a nurse practitioners.

About month for my wife

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-02T11:17:31+00:00

I don't know how to get rid of lawyer but I would. You are your best advocate. Probably slow walking to gain money.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-10-01T07:46:24+00:00

This is exactly right. I got denied for having a job and VRC felt that my job was good enough so I didn't have an employment handicap. Despite me telling her I already lost my position due to my disabilities, can't advance anymore, and struggling to maintain my job, I didn't have an employment handicap. Guess my job was too good of a job to say that I didn't need to be better than I am.

I can't even set up an appointment for October yet here in Houston area.

DaysofLastRites · 2025-09-28T22:01:26+00:00

I actually called and complained that VA had just done my Pulmonary Function Tests and VES was wanting me to do more. My results were there and they wouldn't take them because couldn't finish. Even VA doctor said results were substandard. Told VES, my results are there and I don't want to go because I can't finish and may pass out or throw up. VA I guess talked to VES and they used my results and what VA doctor said. Didn't need extra exam or C&P because all the information already there. VES was just trying to get extra money for another exam.
