So yesterday after almost 4 years i finally got the va letter saying they acknowledge that my migraines are cause by my neck which is from my military service. I am now rated at 60% overall even though if you add them together it comes up to 90%. What this means is a little more money a month 220 dollars + i never have to pay for my drivers licence fishing license, or state park entry. I am also able to apply for 100% money due to being unemployable, due to the migraines, pain and meds i take I already have disabled vet plates on my truck which are only 3 dollars a year. so since filing the claim in 06 I've gotten two raises from the claim and two appeals for a total of a 20% raise.Over all I now make double what i was before plus the other benefits. so 4 years a lot of doctors a lot of letters and sleepless nights later I am at a point where I wonder if I should appeal it, and not stop till i get 100%. I am not sure yet.
so there it is an update on the va junk I hope everyone is well.
love lindsay
