So, I am sitting at home, minding my own business awaiting the check for the backpay from the new rating.
I go out a check the mail.
The VA has sent me another letter. SHIT! (and several F Bombs being dropped)
With prayers that the VA didn't screw up on the 90% rating, I open the envelope. What do I find? A letter explaining that they forgot to explain why I was getting the pay that I was for the 90%. Wow! This is a head scratcher, as I thought it was pretty plain as to why before they wrote this letter.
Come to find out, they "forgot to explain that I am getting and additional $89 a month for 'loss of a reproductive organ'" dating back to November 2006. Hmmmmmm...you mean that fallopian tube I lost back in 2003 while I was still active duty? Gee, haven't lost any other reproductive organs (not for lack of trying to rid myself of them) since then; at least not that I know of.
Perplexed, I drive down to the DAV and ask them (with a grain of salt) if they know what this is about and do they know of me loosing any organs to the VA since 2003 that I don't know of. They confirm the fact that it is in realation to the fallopian tube in 2003.
This leaves one question:
"WHY, if I didn't ask for this money -
they are the one that recognized that they screwed up by not giving the allowance to begin with
- did they only back date it to November of 2006 (over 3 years late)?
I, of course, asked this question at the DAV and they said that they were going to submitt for the backpay, adding "When they see this they are going to say 'DUH!'"
Say it isn't so..the VA is quoteing Homer Simpson?!?!
Trust me my friends, the simularities don't end there....
Still Un-Employed, Still Suffering from Medical issues, Still praying I will make it through..
In God's Grip
