About Vietnam Era Veteran Needs Help

Hello,  Thanks for your input!  I have tried many times to  get an  easier job  with no success.  I will ck out vocational rehab. Maybe they can help. I really have a problem being around people. I'm always afraid that I will lose control.

Thanks, Wally 

If you are denied disability because your condition has not rendered you totally disabled yet you are unable to perform necessary tasks of your profession due to physical limitations caused by your medical condition, you should apply for vocational rehab to receive training which will afford you gainful employment.

Hello Elaine, I did go through a VSO at the local VVA.  I was told  that I really need to come up with a "stressor".

As far as the arthritis, I have been diagnosed with osteo arthritis.

I have not applied for vocational rehab through the VA. Not sure how this would help.

Thanks, Wally

Have you contacted a VSO to represent you w/your application for VA benefits?  Such as Disabled American Vets or the American Legion?

Have you requested any vocational rehab from the VA?

Hello, I have been told that I have PTSD but I havn't been able to supply the VA with the "stressor" they require. Trying to remember things happened that long ago is difficult if not impossible. Things that you would most likely want to forget. I also have arthritis  which makes  most physicial work painful. I take many meds for my depression, anxiety,  arthritis,etc  I find it difficult to even leave this house  most of the time.

Thanks, Wally 

Wally,

What are your medical issues?  Can they possibly be related to your service?

Hello, My name is Wally. I really need some help on getting some assistence or financial aid to get me out of my present situation. Any suggestions will be helpfull. I am presently out of work because of my medical problems and am unable to hold down a regular job. I have filed for compensation from the VA and SSA wilh no success. Last year I was evicted and if it wasn't for a good friend I wouldn't have a place to live now. I have no money to pay him back and if I don't find some soon my family and I will probably be homeless. I am a veteran but I get nothing in the way of money to pay my bills and rent. If you know of some grants or progams that I may be eligible for please tell me.  I need any help that I can get.

Thanks, Wally  Greenville, NC
