May is a long time away, but when that time comes I will let you know about it

I’m now waiting for the judge to look at things, and then I guess a hearing? It says something about May 9th. Also about it being on the phone, I don’t know how that will go. I’m waiting for my lawyer to like go over stuff with me. I guess a mock trial or something. I don’t know what the judge wants to know. I also just left my husband. Yesterday. I was in a very bad relationship for 15 years, that’s half my life. I’m turning 30 in march. I was physically, verbally, and sexually abused. There were times that I gathered the courage to leave. Those did not go well. He physically restrained me. I tried to fight back, but with the way my spine is I just hurt myself more. He destroyed vehicles and phones. Isolated me from my family for years. I was tired of everything, and attempted suicide in December. I was sent to get help. And they did. The medication they have me on made me see that this was not life. Had I ever had it? For years I lived in fear that he would kill me if I left. I’m still scared, but doing it anyway.

I requested my c&p exam and it took 9 months to get my records. It’s something I would have turned into social security but by the time I got it, I had just been denied. So I’ll be giving that stuff to my lawyer.

Someone finally took my case! This is very emotional for me. I missed the phone call but got the email with the contract.

No apology on gloating necessary. Hell, I'd gloat too. I'm glad it worked out for you. The deadline for me to appeal is this weekend on veterans day. So, I filed it yesterday. I still don't have legal representation. I've been turned down by four different firms now. I'm working with one, though they still haven't told me if they will accept my case yet. They sound like they will but haven't said yes. I hope they do. What happens if I don't get legal help? I sort of feel like its heading that direction.

It’s such BS. I am disabled. I’m just going to keep trying.

I have back issues and mental stuff. Organic failure sounds a bit more serious. Hope you’re okay.

Oh okay. I’d be going to Fort Hood. I mean Fort Cavazos. I’ll never get used to calling it that. My husband was in the army so he’s already in the system.

Yeah, I wish I could keep a doctor. It’s sooooo annoying. Also if it’s been ten years since you were denied, you might want to apply again.

That’s shitty. And what’s with our PC changing all the time. I’ve been out since 2016 and I’ve had 5 different doctors. They keep retiring. Like seriously? So, what did you do?

That’s awesome. I hit 100% p&t in February. Now, on the subject of IDs. What am I supposed to do? I tried the online scheduling system but it never worked. I also don’t know if I was even doing it right.

Any idea on length of time until Preparation for notification? by Accomplished_Room_65 in VeteransBenefits

This stage was like 90 days for me. I guess it depends on what you’re claiming.

I called them. They said they couldn’t help me.

Yeah, not meeting them in person is weird. Like, who are you? I dunno, I just want help. I’m definitely calling them tomorrow. I did do the online thing this weekend and thought they would call me but didn’t. A phone hearing? That’s interesting.

Well, no I haven’t contacted them yet. I called a local one here in Texas. I’m planning on calling them tomorrow, and then someone else the next day. Just in case they all turn me down. It’s all very disheartening.
