I did file my claim with a VSO. However, I did not tell him about my MS because I was file for disability due to a service connected injury. I didn't even know I could that until I talked to another Veteran. He went on to explain the process so I got the ball rolling.
The doctor that completed the medical form classified me as 100% disabled. I filed on September 22 and have not heard anything as of yet. I know these things take time.
Do you think I should have mentioned my MS? It didn't even occur to me at the time.
Everything that I can cross is crossed. It would be a major blessing to have my VA medical benefits and to get a check would be icing on the cake. If I am fortunate enough to get 100% that would possibly allow me to quit work, which my Neurologist said I should have done some time ago, and file for SSDI. That would be a perfect world scenario but all know this is not a perfect world.
Any suggestions you may have would be much appreciated. I saw someone had posted on my thread to go talk to my SS office and see about Medi-care but I am still working and I don't think I would qualify.
Thank you for your replies and interest and thank you for your service. Always nice to talk to a former USAF'er or Fly boy as we were called in my day.
