Great news (?)
Got a letter today from the VA. I've been re-instated as 100%, that's great but the letter sounds like something out of a comedy routine.
My 100% for cancer is temporary and I'll be re-evaulated six months after my current treatments are done. The letter indicates that I must receive chemotherapy, radiation or whatever, every 12 months or it's dropped back to 40%.
However, because I'll always have the "residual" effects of incurable cancer, I'm permanently unemployable. So, I'm permanently and totally disabled, which gives me 100%.
Gimpy: Do that mean what I think it do? Think I should appeal a decision that gives me 100%? I haven't heard this kind of convoluted logic since Clinton said oral sex isn't sex. (My wife explained that wasn't really true and she didn't care if he was the president. She even told me she out ranked him!)
I've come to the opinion someone in Boston is mixing their Scotch with water that comes right out of the Harbor. What a great country.
Stay healthy,
Andy
