While leaving a concert in Richmond, VA. I was heading teward I-95 West and passed the exit and had to cross the over path to turn around speed was somewhere between 15-20 MPH and hit a pothole that istantly bent both rims and blew out my front tire.
The pothole looked as if it had been there for a while, took photos of the hole and my rim, sent all data in being precise as possible. My daughter had to ride around with a donut spare for 3 weeks and finally I had minor repairs done so she could contiue to drive without being scared.
Called USAA insurance to come out to change the flat tire. VA. had a sustantial amount of rain that week in which I felt they where going to make the repairs which could range from $800-1200.
After weeks of waiting for a response, I finally called them and fially I received the answer; we have completed our investigation and cannot find any negligence on behalf of the city or any of its employees to have caused this incident.
The city had no notice of this pothole until after your loss. No calls, complaints or reports of damages were made until your call concerning this road condition. Once notified, repairs were made in a timely manner.
We cannot offer any voluntary payments against this claim. The way I took this was sorry for your loss and we're glad you used precautions and there wasn't any loss to limbs or life... Good luck!!!

A bell is a simple idiophone percussion instrument. Although bells come in many forms, most are made of metal cast in the shape of a hollow cup, whose sides form a resonator which vibrates in a single tone upon being struck. The strike may be made by a "clapper" or "uvula" suspended within the bell, by a separate mallet or hammer, or—in small bells—by a small loose sphere enclosed within the body of the bell.
Bells are usually made by casting metal, but small bells can also be made from ceramic or glass. Bells range in size from tiny dress accessories to church bells 5 metres tall, weighing many tons.
Historically, bells have been associated with religious rituals, and are still used to call communities together for religious services.[1] Later, bells were made to commemorate important events or people and have been associated with the concepts of peace and freedom. The study of bells is called campanology.
A set of bells, hung in a circle for change ringing, is known as a ring or peal of bells.
A set of 23 bells spanning at least two octaves is a carillon.

Bell is a word common to the Low German dialects, cognate with Middle Low German belle and Dutch bel but not appearing among the other Germanic languages except the Icelandic bjalla which was a loanword from Old English.[2] It is popularly[3] but not certainly[2] related to the former sense of to bell (Old English: bellan, "to roar, to make a loud noise") which gave rise to bellow.[4]
The earliest archaeological evidence of bells dates from the 3rd millennium BC, and is traced to the Yangshao culture of Neolithic China.[5] Clapper-bells made of pottery have been found in several archaeological sites.[6] The pottery bells later developed into metal bells. In West Asia, the first bells appear in 1000 BC.[5]
The earliest metal bells, with one found in the Taosi site and four in the Erlitou site, are dated to about 2000 BC.[7] Early bells not only have an important role in generating metal sound, but arguably played a prominent cultural role. With the emergence of other kinds of bells during the Shang Dynasty (c. 1600 – c. 1050 BC), they were relegated to subservient functions; at Shang and Zhou sites, they are also found as part of the horse-and-chariot gear and as collar-bells of dogs.[8]

Method of Ringing[edit]
In the western world, the common form of bell is a church bell or town bell, which is hung within a tower or bell cote. Such bells are either fixed in position ("hung dead") or mounted on a beam (the "headstock") so they can swing to and fro. Bells that are hung dead are normally sounded by hitting the sound bow with a hammer or occasionally by pulling an internal clapper against the bell.
Where a bell is swung it can either be swung over a small arc by a rope and lever or by using a rope on a wheel to swing the bell higher. As the bell swings higher the sound is projected outwards rather than downwards.
Bells hung for full circle ringing are swung through just over a complete circle from mouth uppermost. A stay (the wooden pole seen sticking up when the bells are down) engages a mechanism to allow the bell to rest just past its balance point. The rope is attached to one side of a wheel so that a different amount of rope is wound on and off as it swings to and fro. The bells are controlled by ringers (one to a bell) in a chamber below, who rotate the bell to through a full circle and back, and control the speed of oscillation when the bell is mouth upwards at the balance-point, when little effort is required.
Swinging bells are sounded by an internal clapper. The clapper may have a longer period of swing than the bell. In this case the bell will catch up with the clapper and if rung to or near full circle will carry the clapper up on the bell's trailing side. Alternatively, the clapper may have a shorter period and catch up with the bell's leading side, travel up with the bell coming to rest on the downhill side. This latter method is used in English style full circle ringing.
Occasionally the clappers have leather pads (called muffles) strapped around them to quieten the bells when practice ringing to avoid annoying the neighbourhood. Also at funerals, half-muffles are often used to give a full open sound on one round, and a muffled sound on the alternate round – a distinctive, mournful effect.
Church and temple bells[edit]
In the Eastern world, the traditional forms of bells are temple and palace bells, small ones being rung by a sharp rap with a stick, and very large ones rung by a blow from the outside by a large swinging beam. (See images of the great bell of Mii-dera below.)
The striking technique is employed worldwide for some of the largest tower-borne bells, because swinging the bells themselves could damage their towers.
In the Roman Catholic Church and among some High Lutherans and Anglicans, small hand-held bells, called Sanctus or sacring bells,[9] are often rung by a server at Mass when the priest holds high up first the host and then the chalice immediately after he has said the words of consecration over them (the moment known as the Elevation). This serves to indicate to the congregation that the bread and wine have just been transformed into the Body and Blood of Christ (see transubstantiation), or, in the alternative Reformation teaching, that Christ is now bodily present in the elements, and that what the priest is holding up for them to look at is Christ himself (see consubstantiation).
In Russian Orthodox bell ringing the entire bell never moves, only the clapper. A complex system of ropes is developed and used uniquely for every bell tower. Some ropes (the smaller ones) are played by hand, the bigger ropes are played by foot.
Bells in Japanese religion[edit]
Japanese Shintoist and Buddhist bells are used in religious ceremonies. Suzu, a homophone meaning both "cool" and "refreshing", are spherical bells which contain metal pellets that produce sound from the inside. The hemispherical bell is the Kane bell, which is struck on the outside. Large suspended temple bells are known as bonshō. (See also ja:鈴, ja:梵鐘).
Bells in Buddhism and Hinduism[edit]
Hindu and Buddhist bells, called "Ghanta" in Sanskrit, are used in religious ceremonies. See also singing bowls. A bell hangs at the gate of many Hindu temples and is rung at the moment one enters the temple.[10]
The process of casting bells is called bellfounding, and in Europe dates to the 4th or 5th century.[12] The traditional metal for these bells is a bronze of about 23% tin.[13] Known as bell metal, this alloy is also the traditional alloy for the finest Turkish and Chinese cymbals. Other materials sometimes used for large bells include brass and iron. Steel was tried during the busy church-building period of mid-19th-century England, because it was more economical than bronze, but was found not to be durable and manufacture ceased in the 1870s.[14]
Small bells were originally made with the lost wax process but large bells are cast mouth downwards by filling the air space in a two-part mould with molten metal. Such a mould has an outer section clamped to a base-plate on which an inner core has been constructed.[15]
The core is built on the base-plate using porous materials such as coke or brick and then covered in loam well mixed with straw and horse manure. This is given a profile corresponding to the inside shape of the finished bell, and dried with gentle heat. Graphite and whiting are applied to form the final, smooth surface.
The outside of the mould is made within a perforated cast iron case, larger than the finished bell, containing the loam mixture which is shaped, dried and smoothed in the same way as the core. The case is inverted (mouth down), lowered over the core and clamped to the base plate. The clamped mould is supported, usually by being buried in a casting pit to bear the weight of metal and to allow even cooling.[16]
In historical times, before road, rail transport of large bells was possible, a "bell pit" was often dug in the grounds of the building where the bell was to be installed. Molten bell metal is poured into the mould through a box lined with foundry sand. The founder would bring his casting tools to the site, and a furnace would be built next to the pit.
Although bells are cast to accurate patterns, variations in casting mean that a final operation of tuning is undertaken as the shape of the bell is critical in producing the desired strike note and associated harmonics. Tuning is undertaken by clamping the bell on a large rotating table, and using a cutting tool to remove metal. Much experimentation and research has been devoted to determining the exact shape that will give the best tone.
The thickness of a church bell at its thickest part, called the "sound bow", is usually one thirteenth its diameter. If the bell is mounted as cast, it is called a "maiden bell". "Tuned bells" are worked after casting to produce a precise note. The elements of the sound of a bell are split up into hum (see subharmonic), second partial, tierce, quint and nominal/naming note. The bell's strongest overtones are tuned to be at octave intervals below the nominal note, but other notes also need to be brought into their proper relationship.[19] Bells are usually tuned via tuning forks and electronic stroboscopic tuning devices commonly called strobe tuners.
Clocks and chimes[edit]
Bells are also associated with clocks, indicating the hour by ringing. Indeed, the word clock comes from the Latin word cloca, meaning bell. Bells in clock towers or bell towers can be heard over long distances, which was especially important in the time when clocks were too expensive for widespread use. In many languages the same word can mean both clock and bell.
In the case of clock towers and grandfather clocks, a particular sequence of tones may be played to distinguish between the hour, half-hour, quarter-hour, or other intervals. One common pattern is called "Westminster Quarters," a sixteen-note pattern named after the Palace of Westminster which popularized it as the measure used by Big Ben.
Notable bells[edit]
- The Great Bell of Dhammazedi (1484) may have been the largest bell ever made. It was lost in a river in Burma after being removed from a temple by the Portuguese in 1608. It is reported to have weighed about 300 tonnes (330 tons).
- The Tsar bell by the Motorin Bellfounders is the largest bell still in existence. It weighs 160 tonnes (180 tons), but it was never rung and broke in 1737. It is on display in Moscow, Russia, inside the Kremlin.
- The Great Mingun Bell is the largest functioning bell. It is located in Mingun, Burma, and weighs 90 tonnes (100 tons).
- The Gotenba Bell is the largest functioning swinging bell, weighing 79,900 pounds (36,200 kg). It is located in a tourist resort in Gotenba, Japan. Hung in a freestanding frame, it is rung by hand. It was cast by Eijsbouts in 2006.
- The World Peace Bell was the largest functioning swinging bell until 2006. It is located in Newport, Kentucky, United States, and was cast by the Paccard Foundry of France. The bell itself weighs 66,000 pounds (30,000 kg); with clapper and supports, the total weight which swings when the bell is rung is 89,390 pounds (40,550 kg).
- The Bell of King Seongdeok is the largest extant bell in Korea. The full Korean name means "Sacred Bell of King Seongdeok the Great." It was also known as the Bell of Bongdeoksa Temple, where it was first housed. The bell weighs about 25 tons and was originally cast in 771 CE. It is now stored in the National Museum of Gyeongju.
- Pummerin in Vienna's Stephansdom is the most famous bell in Austria and the fifth largest in the world.
- The St. Petersglocke, in the local dialect of Cologne also called dä Dicke Pitter ("fat Peter", [ˌdekə.ˈpitˑɐ] ( listen)), is a bell in Germany's Cologne Cathedral. It weighs 24 tons and was cast in 1922. It is the largest functioning free-swinging bell in the world that swings around the top. (The Gotenba Bell and the World Peace Bell swing around their center of gravity, which is more like turning than swinging. So, depending on the point of view, the St. Petersglocke may be considered up to now the largest free-swinging bell in the world.)
- Maria Dolens, the bell for the Fallen in Rovereto (Italy) weighs 22.6 tons.
- The South West tower of St Paul's Cathedral in London, England, houses Great Paul, the second largest bell at 16.5 tons in the British Isles. One can hear Great Paul booming out over Ludgate Hill at 1300 every day.
- Big Ben is the fourth largest bell in the British Isles, after The Olympic Bell (used at the opening of the 2012 Olympic Games), Great Paul (St Paul's Cathedral, City of London) and Great George (Anglican Cathedral, Liverpool). It is the hour bell of the Great Clock in the Elizabeth Tower (formerly called the Clock Tower) at the Palace of Westminster, the home of the Houses of Parliament in the United Kingdom.
- The Dom Tower in the city of Utrecht, the Netherlands, houses the second largest free-swinging bell of Europe, the Salvator, weighing 8.2 tons and cast in 1505 by Geert van Wou.
- Great Tom is the bell that hangs in Tom Tower (designed by Christopher Wren) of Christ Church, Oxford. It was cast in 1680 and weighs over 6 tons. Great Tom is still rung 101 times at 21:05 every night to signify the 101 original scholars of the college.
- The Liberty Bell is a 2,080 pounds (940 kg)[20] American bell of great historic significance, located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. It previously hung in Independence Hall and was rung on July 4, 1776 to mark American independence.
- Little John, named after the character from the legends of Robin Hood, is the bell within the Clock Tower of Nottingham Council House. It was the deepest toned clock bell in the United Kingdom until Great Peter of York Minster was incorporated into a new clock chime to celebrate the Queen Mother's centenary. Great Peter is deeper than Little John by only a few Hz. The sound of Little John is said to be heard over the greatest distance of any bell in the UK, occasionally on quiet days being heard in Derby.[citation needed]
- Sigismund is a bell in the Wawel Cathedral in Kraków, Poland, cast in 1520. It is rung only on very significant national occasions.
- The Maria Gloriosa in Erfurt, cast by Geert van Wou, is considered to be one of Germany's, and also Europe's, most beautiful medieval bells, serving as a model for many other bells.[citation needed]
- The Lutine Bell, named after HMS Lutine, weighs 106 pounds (48 kg) and bears the inscription "ST. JEAN – 1779". It rests in Lloyd's of London Underwriting Room where it used to be struck when news of an overdue ship arrived—once for the loss of a ship (i.e., bad news, last in 1979), and twice for her return (i.e., good news, last in 1989).
- The tenor (heaviest bell) of the change-ringing peal at Liverpool Cathedral is the heaviest bell hung for full-circle ringing.
Usage as musical instruments[edit]
Some bells are used as musical instruments, such as carillons, (clock) chimes, agogô, or ensembles of bell-players, called bell choirs, using hand-held bells of varying tones. A "ring of bells" is a set of four to twelve or more bells used in change ringing, a particular method of ringing bells in patterns. A peal in changing ringing may have bells playing for several hours, playing 5,000 or more patterns without a break or repetition. They have also been used in many kinds of popular music, such as in AC/DC's "Hells Bells" and Metallica's "For Whom the Bell Tolls".
Ancient Chinese bells[edit]
The ancient Chinese bronze chime bells called bianzhong or zhong / zeng (鐘) were used as polyphonic musical instruments and some have been dated at between 2000 and 3600 years old. Tuned bells have been created and used for musical performance in many cultures but zhong are unique among all other types of cast bells in several respects and they rank among the highest achievements of Chinese bronze casting technology. However, the remarkable secret of their design and the method of casting—known only to the Chinese in antiquity—was lost in later generations and was not fully rediscovered and understood until the 20th century.
In 1978 a complete ceremonial set of 65 zhong bells was found in a near-perfect state of preservation during the excavation of the tomb of Marquis Yi, ruler of Zeng, one of the Warring States. Their special shape gives them the ability to produce two different musical tones, depending on where they are struck. The interval between these notes on each bell is either a major or minor third, equivalent to a distance of four or five notes on a piano.[21]
The bells of Marquis Yi—which were still fully playable after almost 2500 years—cover a range of slightly less than five octaves but thanks to their dual-tone capability, the set can sound a complete 12-tone scale—predating the development of the European 12-tone system by some 2000 years—and can play melodies in diatonic and pentatonic scales.[22]
Another related ancient Chinese musical instrument is called qing (磬 pinyin qìng) but it was made of stone instead of metal.
In more recent times, the top of bells in China was usually decorated with a small dragon, known as pulao; the figure of the dragon served as a hook for hanging the bell.
Konguro'o is a small bell which, like the Djalaajyn, was first used for utilitarian purposes and only later for artistic ones. Konguro'o rang when moving to new places. They were fastened to the horse harnesses and created a very specific "smart" sound background. Konguro'o also hung on the neck of the leader goat, which the sheep herd followed. This led to the association in folk memory between the distinctive sound of konguro'o and the nomadic way of life.
To make this instrument, Kyrgyz foremen used copper, bronze, iron and brass. They also decorated it with artistic carving and covered it with silver. Sizes of the instruments might vary within certain limits, what depended on its function. Every bell had its own timbre.
A variant on the bell is the tubular bell. Several of these metal tubes which are struck manually with hammers, form an instrument named tubular bells or chimes. In the case of wind or aeolian chimes, the tubes are blown against one another by the wind.
Lithuanian Skrabalai[edit]
The skrabalai is a traditional folk instrument in Lithuania which consists of wooden bells of various sizes hanging in several vertical rows with one or two wooden or metal small clappers hanging inside them. It is played with two wooden sticks. When the skrabalai is moved a clapper knocks at the wall of the trough. The pitch of the sound depends on the size of the wooden trough. The instrument developed from wooden cowbells that shepherds would tie to cows' necks.
Farm bells[edit]
Whereas the church and temple bells called to mass or religious service, bells were used on farms for more secular signaling. The greater farms in Scandinavia usually had a small bell-tower resting on the top of the barn. The bell was used to call the workers from the field at the end of the day's work.
In folk tradition, it is recorded that each church and possibly several farms had their specific rhymes connected to the sound of the specific bells. An example is the Pete Seeger and Idris Davies song "The Bells of Rhymney".
Dead bell[edit]
In Scotland up until the 19th century it was the tradition to ring a Dead bell, a form of hand bell, at the death of an individual and at the funeral.

Highlights include beautiful décor with unique Shaker accents.
Upon entering this former site of the Philadelphia Stock Exchange, guests take note of the unusual marble and granite floors---designed to resemble a Shaker quilt---that lead up to the blue granite reception desk. Such details are a precursor to the Shaker traditions reflected throughout the hotel's interior, with its soothing neutral shades and variety of cherry wood accents. The 300 rooms and 30 suites break from the hotel's Shaker décor to combine classic European style with modern comforts, such as air conditioning, mini bars and more. Chez Colette is located on the premises, and delights the palate with French brasserie style cuisine and equally elegant continental service. Additionally, the hotel's new popular cocktail lounge, Liberté, offers a dining area and a great oval bar that encourages interaction. The hotel also offers a sauna and fitness center, and spacious rooms are available for business meetings.

Charleston, W.Va. (AP) -- The West Virginia Department of Environmental Protection is accepting public comment on a draft list of the state's polluted streams and lakes.
The updated list includes bodies of water that fail to meet state water quality standards.
Failure to meet those standards makes them unsuitable for use as a public drinking water supply, aquatic life propagation or contact recreation.
By law, the list is updated every two years.
Public comments will be accepted through April 19.

Hello, I retired 2.5 years ago after 21 years. Rated 80% for various things, sleep apnea with CPAP, disk disease, hip joint disease, etc. I was just called by a doctors office saying the VA had set up an appointment for me for re-evaluation to see if I have improved. I see the VA once a year as I am supposed to and the rest of the time I see my local doctor. Anyone know what this is about? Is it normal?
The C & P section and the VA Medical are separate. They have the right to reevaluate you on a regular basis up to some legal limits in time. This is no unusual if they think you might improve.
|New Member
Thanks for the reply. Can they take away from 80% rating? Is there something I should or should not do or say?
If they find that you improved, they can change the rating. You need to be honest with them. It helps to be prepared. Having medical information documenting the status of your disabilities helps. I think today, you need to have a least twice a year visits with each specialty you are rated for, so Sleep/Chest, Ortho, etc. That way there is a record. After a few years they will not look if you have a better history.
Yes, it is quite normal.
You have been scheduled for a C&P exam by the VA's "Virtual Calender."
What this entails is basically you have retired. It has been over 2 years since the VA's ratings. The "virtual calender" the VA's computer maintains tracks you, your appointments and time, and schedules "periodic" examinations. The VA would like to know where you stand in contrast to your disabilities. How many disability ratings do you have. Have any improved over time. Is there any likelihood of any improvement if ANY disabilities. Have any improved where a reduction OR an increase in disability compensation may be warranted.
These are the basics of why you are scheduled for a C&P examination.
Side note: No one of course can say with any authority exactly "why" you have been scheduled for the C&P other than the reasons I gave you above, but I can also see why the "virtual calender" kicked in for you right on schedule too, as follows:
a) You are by 38CFR subject to a C&P exam at any time without any justification from the VA within the 1st ten years of disability compensation, unless the rating specifically states "Total & Permanent"
b) You """may""" emphasis on the 'may'...have coincidentally helped the VA staff who monitors that virtual calendar from time to time by keeping a very low profile.
c) Sometimes it helps to help the VA know what's going on with you. Since your retirement, you saw the VA 2 times, yet draw an 80% disability compensation. Essentially, you have little or no history in the VISTA system, likely do not have a PCP assigned to you, no entries in your medical file, no prescriptions..basically, you are a blank form.
d) If the VA accesses your medical file, which they do, they can't ascertain if your conditions are improving, stable, or degenerating, so they schedule you for a C&P.
e) It is perhaps a wise thing to consider making your presence known, especially if you have various ratings that total to 80% which in the scheme of things can be considered a relatively high comp rating.
f) You may want to consider being part of the system. At least to the point where you have a clinic or a PCP assigned, and an active medical file. That way, you're more likely to "scoot" under the radar screen, ironically, by being in their radar, and thus "may" avoid future, perhaps even closer scheduled C&P's
The above will not be of any help to you in the present form. The C&P has been scheduled and YOU DO NOT want to be a no-show..That would be very unwise and may cause an immediate adjudication to reduce your disability ratings, or even drop them to ZERO. I would think that you'll fare well with the exam, be honest, forthright and careful in your answers.
Wishing you the best.

Thanks alot for the replies, I really appreciate them. I dont see the VA on a regular basis because it is a 45 minute drive to the nearest clinic yet 5 minutes to my local provider. I have been to the local doctor a few times about my conditions, plus an ER visit, since retiring. I just had an MRI and appointment with a specialist about my back. I have been recieving treatment for my problems but just not thru the VA. I havent seen a doctor for my sleep apnea since getting my first study and being diagnosed with it and prescribed a CPAP. The CPAP helps and I was told I am not a candidate for surgery so I assumed that was all there was to that issue.
If the VA provides your CPAP, you should see a sleep Specialist in the Chest clinic twice a year with your device. The CPAP tracks usage, and that way your record reflects usage.
The VA will compensate you for travel, and I would bite the bullet and have relationships with the clinics that handle your disabilities twice a year.
As Freddy said, up until 20 years, they can review your disabilities, but they usually do not after 10 years. I received VA treatment for my low ratings the first few years and then fell off the grid. Since I was rated 70%, I see VA doctors many often and have compiled a lot of info in the system. You are best to see VA doctors at least twice a year. That way they can use that record for seeing your conditions have not improved.
In any case, we DO wish you the very best.
Btw. Blackhorse Squadron...are we talking about the ACR in Germany? I was with the 1/14 armored Calvary Regiment...forget what "Troop" in Fulda, Germany.

Freddy, I was in Fulda from '86 to '88. 11th ACR all the way! I was stationed with HHT. Those 2 years are my most fond.

I want to thank you for your posts and questions. I am in the same boat as you for benefits. I retired with 60% disability and wondered about the review as well. I thought I would just fly under the radar so to speak but after seeing your review I am going to go and schedule and appointment.
Thanks again,
Ted JK.
And if I were you, I would do so with great dispatch as well.
Also be prepared top answer "why" (if asked) you haven't sought any treatment before now. Lastly, notes are made and become part of your permanent record, so be careful how questions are answered if and when you do start seeing a PCP

I have deleted the new topic the OP started. Please continue the discussion here.
|New Member
Dave, I appreciate your efforts at moderating but I asked something different in the other thread. I dont feel like retyping it all again, I am a one finger typer. Thanks anyways.
<<Here is your post. It really is the same topic.>>
I have my first review coming up and received some paperwork in the mail. They sent me info about time and date for the review and sent me a questionaire to fill out. My rating is for different things but the only things listed in the questionaire is my sleep apnea and spine/disk problem. It seems those are the only two things they want to look at/ talk about. They also stated in the paperwork that I dont need to bring any medical records. So what do they want to do, just talk? I havent been back to a doctor for the sleep apnea cause the CPAP does wonders. I have been back to the doctor a few times plus an emergency room trip for my disk/spine issues. Recently had an MRI and visit with neurosurgon who told me I was not a candidate for surgery cause it wouldnt resolve my issue. Seems like I am going to be on pills forever. Why would they not want me to bring any of this documentation?
By the way, you all are a great resource and the way everyone on here helps each other is fantastic. Hopefully some day I will know enough to be of help to the younger crowd coming up behind us.
They're re-evaluating you to see if your condition has improved, i.e. the VA examiner will address the issues that the RO has identified which is sleep apnea and your spine/disc problem.
Depending on your current eval, they may confirm and continue your rating, propose a reduction, or grant an increase.
***Note that if you have had these issues for more than 5 years VA may not reduce based on one VA examination, however, if improvement is shown they will diary a new exam for some point in the future.***
(1) Back conditions are based on range of motion forward, backward, and side-to-side, i.e. the more restricted your range of motion, the more severely disabling your condition. The subjective complaints must coincide with the objective findings (MRI, Xray showing causation).
They will also consider incapacitating episodes necessitating bed rest as prescribed by a doctor.
(2) Migraine-type headaches are rated based on characteristic prostrating attacks on a given basis, i.e. 3-4 times a month, a week, ect.
You will want to provide the VA (or your VSO if you have one) with any medical documentation which supports current treatment for the conditions. The VA examiner can only review what is in the claims folder when he/she receives it.
Hope this helps and Happy New Year.
|New Member
Rakkwarrior, thank you for the response. I am reading over the packet they sent me and they are telling me not to bring medical records. Well then this is going to be a waste of our time cause I dont see the VA, I use a local doctor and he has all my info. I go to the VA for my once a year check-in and the VA doc justs asks if I am happy with my care from the local doc.
My 2C
I am not disputing the post by Tim. He is a VSO and knows what he's saying and doing. However, 38USC does not specifically state and prohibit the DVA from a rating reduction part and parcel of an evaluation. The 5 year rule referenced can be found in the M-21 series manuals for internal guidance, and then, there you go again, each VARO seems to have their own little set of rules as if its their own little universe, some better than others, more compassionate, and some seemingly trying to lowball you to death..Be careful, be wise, be document everything SAVVY.

OK, I just found this forum and was reading intensely. Now I'm concerned, so I have to ask my own quesiton. I just go rated at 80% and thought that was the end of it. I didn't know about the reevaluations. I have sleep apnea, and it was diagnosed prior to retiring 6 months ago. I've tried the CPAP for 3 months, but could never adjust to using it. It's like a claustrophobia, I feel I can't breath with the mask on. Do I need to contact the VA now that I'm out and see about a different type of mask or equipment? If I'm not using the machine and get re-evaluated, will I take a loss on the percentage for sleep apnea?
Short answer" YES.
Also, it's in your best interest to establish a relationship with the VAMC that serves your area, have a PCP assigned and insure they have copies of all treatments prior to....
Side note: I see that you dug up a very old post of mine....so to Dave_M or Bruce..is it possible to correct the # of post as well as my signature skull back? If not, no biggie, but it would be nice, thanks.

Don't even think about it, transfer it to your trusted, more secured bank. Like (((competitors' names redacted))), etc.
My credit card information was compromised and half of my money was stolen somewhere in Russia and in the UK. The bank told me to contact them. I was on hold for more then 45mins, it was ridiculous, and there's also some automated voice crap there that sucks. Once you get connected to someone, they don't even know what they're doing. I asked questions, and they responded like a d*mn politician would. You know, "That's a good question, this and that, blah blah, stfu." Never got my question answered.
I had to contact my attorney, he's a friend so he didn't charge anything, thank God! And the company contacted my attorney and two days later, I got my full money back that was stolen.
Some people don't have the advantage of an attorney and this company will not give you the money back, my landlord told me that this happened to some girl there who used to live where I live now, and they didn't give her the money back and she had to drop out, and move elsewhere. That's why I am here to tell you to please avoid this company and please pass on this information to other college students. This company sucks!

If one makes changes to a draft and then attempts to navigate away from it without hitting "Save Draft," a window pops up to ask if one is sure one wants to navigate away from the page without saving the changes.
Likewise, there should be a pop-up window "Are you sure you want to publish?" every time one hits the Publish button, as a safeguard against premature publishing. Although, upon publishing by mistake, one can set the status back to Draft again, the problem is that there is no way to recall a mistakenly published draft that has gone out via RSS, which, alas, happens instantly upon hitting Publish.
As an alternative, could anybody tell me which of the core files contains the code for the Publish button so I can at least make it as tiny and inconspicuous as possible rather than it being this huge blue monster that screams "CLICK ME!!!" at my subconscious mind every time I actually just want to save my draft?

Weirton, WV (AP) -- The search is back on for a 26-year-old deckhand from Pittsburgh who fell from a coal barge into the Ohio River.
Jefferson County Sheriff Fred Abdalla in Ohio said his department planned to launch boats Tuesday below the New Cumberland locks and dam.
The Edison Queen from the W.H. Sammis power plant planned to conduct visual searches above the dam.
Michael Harvey fell into the river April 6 as the barge unloaded coal at the power plant.
Divers hired by his employer, Campbell Transportation Co., suspended their search Thursday.
The Hancock County Sheriff's Department in West Virginia and the U.S. Coast Guard are investigating.

There is no specific antidote for verapamil overdosage; treatment is supportive. Delayed pharmacodynamic consequences may occur with sustained-release formulations, and observe patients for at least 48 hours, preferably under continuous hospital care. Reported effects include hypotension, bradycardia, cardiac conduction defects, arrhythmias, hyperglycemia, and decreased mental status. In addition, there have been literature reports of noncardiogenic pulmonary edema in patients taking large overdoses of verapamil (up to approximately 9 g).
In acute overdosage, consider gastrointestinal decontamination with cathartics and whole bowel irrigation. Calcium, inotropes (i.e., isoproterenol HCl, dopamine HCl, and glucagon), atropine sulfate, vasopressors (i.e., norepinephrine, and epinephrine), and cardiac pacing have been used with variable results to reverse hypotension and myocardial depression. In a few reported cases, overdose with calcium channel blockers that was initially refractory to atropine became more responsive to this treatment when the patients received large doses (close to 1 gram/hour for more than 24 hours) of calcium chloride.
Calcium chloride is preferred to calcium gluconate since it provides 3 times more calcium per volume. Asystole should be handled by the usual measures including cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Verapamil cannot be removed by hemodialysis.
Verapamil is contraindicated in:
- Severe left ventricular dysfunction [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
- Hypotension (less than 90 mm Hg systolic pressure) or cardiogenic shock.
- Sick sinus syndrome (except in patients with a functioning artificial ventricular pacemaker).
- Second- or third-degree AV block (except in patients with a functioning artificial ventricular pacemaker).
- Patients with atrial flutter or atrial fibrillation and an accessory bypass tract (e.g., Wolff-Parkinson-White, Lown-Ganong-Levine syndromes) [see WARNINGS AND PRECAUTIONS].
