welcome to the club, I have the same amount and still waiting but was also denied stating my injury has not got worse without a evaluation. I’m at 90% and scared to keep requesting a disability increase, the VA will try and reduce us quick before they help.. what can we do

ARE ALL VA BENEFITS BEING ADJUSTED BY THE SOCIAL SECURITY COLA INDEX OF 3.2%.
I UNDERSTAND IT INCLUDES DISABILITY COMPENSATION, BUT DOES IT ALSO APPLY TO AUTOMOBILE COMPENSATION. THE CURRENT RATE FOR AUTO COMPENSATION IS $ 25603.00. WILL THAT AMOUNT INCREASE TO $ 26422.00 ?

i use cpap need replacement been using for years need all replaced even box.

I am currently at 90 percent disability rating. Over the years my disability got worse. I applied for and saw medical professionals through the VA and it’s 6 months later and I’m still waiting. I’ve received 2 letters stating that my application has been received but yet no answer. It only took 3 months when I was discharged in 2016. Stress has me in it’s grasp.

I feel like a deceased veterans spouse and ur children shall be able to file compensation increases for veterans that had claims denied prior to death. My husband is a deceased veteran, he put in cousins before his death that was denied. Now those same very claims are being compensated to living veterans, not fair and it’s unjust. A veteran should be entitled to so compensations if claims especially if they file and have proof. It’s hurtful my husband suffered with his disabilities but struggled to continue to work due to cousins being denied and to see those claims actually become compensated and he has no entitlement. It’s completely wrong.

Is the VA at least considering the CPAPless apnea system called Insite? It is a minor implanted system
No mask, no hoses, no distilled water, no filters, no waking up in the middle of the night due to feeling like you couldn’t breathe. This almost sounds too good to be true.
