Kathy: Thank you so much, Kathy, for adding that link! I don't know how to do that. That made it so much easier for AllGirlUSA. You are a SweetHeart.

AllGirl: It's important that you know that I got my VA disability rating first, 10% from the Army, which translated to 60% from the VA immediately when I became a veteran one day after the Army (if that makes sense to anyone), and so with one federal entity okaying me, I was a shoo in for SSD from the other federal entity. Get his active duty medical records from all his stations. That may show evidence that he can use later.

If you don't have time for anything else, get the VA psychiatrist to give Dave a diagnosis before that next SSD hearing.

I got the most help getting my 100% VA rating from the Paralyzed Vets of America, although I am not paralyzed, they routinely help any vet whether you are paralyzed or not.

Let us know how you and Dave are doing.
