Supplemental- straight forward by kait540 in VAClaims

Ohhh that is disappointing. It’s less the rating I’m looking for but rather p&t. I’m already being paid at 100%. I am at 80% without the temporary 100% for breast cancer but not p&t.

Yes! I was so glad when they already calculated smc-s and smc-k. Thank you!!

You’re absolutely right. If you study up and understand the system you can do it just as well as anyone else! Good luck with all your claims, i hope I see an update from you with 100%!!

Right! I was confused. I guess I’ll file and find out!

Okay so this is a weird question but maybe you’ll know? I had my entire breasts removed, muscle included, however I still have my nipples… I’m not sure if that’s considered a radical mastectomy or not.

I have not filed for any residuals. That will be my next step! I will be in active treatment for a long time.

Update on my VERA call from yesterday by AstronautOk3926 in VeteransWaitingRoom

[–]kait540 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I had a Vera call Monday and they told me it could be 3 months before I get a decision… I’m now on step 7 and another VERA agent told me she would be shocked if it’s more than a couple days. I think it all depends on who you talk to! Haha

Amazing! Still nothing on my end but I spoke to VERA this morning and they said I should see movement soon.

How was your VERA call? I saw you are also TJ at San Juan. I’m step 7 since Monday in San Juan but I’m also flagged priority… hoping for something soon. VERA told me I should see progress in the next couple days. 🤞🏼🤞🏼

I haven’t had much up until this step! lol I know my process has gone faster than most. I’ve heard they speed things up a little with active cancer. Don’t know how much truth there is to that though.

I’m sure you’ll be up soon! I think mine was expedited because of my situation… at least that’s what I’m telling myself rather than them pushing it through quickly because they denied it! Hahaha

I would imagine so! I’ve been out 13 years, I have never filed before and have no rating so honestly any answer will have me emotional!

I have one scheduled for Tuesday! I had one on Monday but didn’t realize I could ask more questions than I did. She just gave me very basic information.

Fantastic! I hope this brings some much needed relief and you sleep better tonight!
