After a 7 year battle beginning in 2003, our very own Azjensmom’s husband was finally rated 60% for hep and TDIU. She had to remind the powers that be that he was in the “near constant debilitating symptoms” mode and had been way past the 60% ratings criteria for quite some time. After a very short period of time they agreed with her and gave him the higher rating. Welcome to the 100% schedular club, ***ster. It’s not the club we would all aspire to belong to, but it does have it’s percs.

I just received this from Azjensmom. The website wouldn’t allow her to post for some reason: Thanks NOD – Yes, it was an uphill battle all the way…one I’m very pleased we didn’t cave in and give up years ago. Without the help and assistance of you NOD and the many fine folks here, I know we’d still be climbing that hill with no end in sight. I can’t stress enough how important the Nexus is to your claim. Add that to the medical records and everything else you need to be successful in receiving service connection – You won’t have the battles we endured as did those who have gone before us, in having your valid claim worked properly and in a timely manner. It’s very gratifying to realize we did this on our own after our VSO tanked on us….at least they filed the appeal (Form 9) — when nothing was being done, I happened across this site. Not that it was smooth sailing, we hit a few chuckholes and hiccups …. but WOW, when all the pieces of the puzzle went together and that last piece was in place….It was Showtime ! Thank you once again for all of the assistance of the HCVets site and the acknowledgement NOD … we are still on Cloud 9 ! Fellow Veterans – I encourage you to read, research and follow all of the advice located on this web-site …… and NEXUS – NEXUS – NEXUS !
