My husband has PTSD | Forum

My husband was in the military for 22 years and was just given his
benefits decision letter a few months ago. It says he's 70% disabled but
that he's not eligible to receive both retirement and disability. Yet
on the VA website it says any rating over 50% would qualify for both
forms of payment. Do you have any tips on how go navigate the VA
benefits system?

I know on my own skin that navigating the VA benefits system can be quite challenging, especially with cases involving multiple aspects like retirement and disability benefits.

It's true that ratings over 50% typically qualify for both forms of payment, so there seems to be a discrepancy. I understand how important it is to ensure veterans receive the benefits they're entitled to after dedicating so many years to service.Personally, I've encountered similar issues with friends and family members navigating the VA system. Recently, we found a resource that might provide clarity and assistance in appealing VA decisions. If you're still seeking guidance, you might find this link helpful: https://ptsdlawyers.com/appeal-a-va-decision/. It's essential to support and advocate for veterans every day, not just on Veterans Day.
