So I’m medically retired with 8 combat tours between 4 countries and 17 years in the Marines. I had my letter from NMC Balboa stating that my TDRL was to be PDRL…. Basically medically retired straight out of active duty I wanted to do 30, but after being blown up and losing my hearing…..getting a cochlear implant, hearing aid, lots of scars on my right side and all… So……how does this work???
I'm 100 percent VA disabled veteran and no longer work how do I start the process of receiving my social security any information would be helpful thank you love your videos 👍 thank you
Mine updated today to say that I am 100 total and complete but still says 100 for my rating. I thought total and complete would be 100. Now it says 100 percent individual but combined 70.
I just received P&T due to them adding a 40% rating for something I never filed for but which has been an issue due to spinal injections. I'm happy, It has changed my families outlook. I did it all on my own, started at 50, than 70, than 80, than 90 and P&T no exam ever required. I'm blessed for sure.
100% P&T with SMC, since 2009. I battled the VBA for 3 years. Finally won, after a denial, low-balled award, and a appeal hearing at my VA Regional Office. With my backpay, I bought a beachfront home in Central America.
Craig, I studied your videos for months before filing my claim last April, with 6 months remaining on Active Duty. I retired August 31st and was just awarded 100% P&T yesterday. Thank you for your continued service, Brother! 1SG (RET) Allen King
Nice that you got that 100 percent I hope you wasn't one of those higher up who gave the lower ranks a hard time to go medical & now they have no proof of their injuries. seems that all the higher ups gets retirement and 100 percent while the low ranks gets screwed because y'all make it hard for us to go medical.
I got approved for mines in Sept 2022, I got out the Army in 2017, Super BAD PTSD. Never thought too apply until early 2022. 100 P&T 1ST TRY, only took me 5 months, I applied and did all the paper work myself. Did my exam remotely, did not see ANYONE FACE TO FACE. All Praises to The Most High. I’m 37, about to get my CDL and I feel Soo Grateful to The God of All Gods, too have this Security. Keep Fighting Guys, You EARNED IT. Never let no one tell you differently, ITS NOT A CHARITY.
Happy veterans day to ALL MY BROTHERS AND SISTERS!! HOOAAH. I retired in 2007 by my request to retire do to all service connected problems after 24 years of service in the US Army because I was trained by old school NCO,S and believe we Senior Non-Commissioned Officers ALWAYS lead from the front but do to injuries it was becoming harder and also didnt want to be 200% disabled before my wife and I had raised our children and due to my belief in what we as US Military do to try and keep our loved ones safe and free tried always to give 150% along with rest of all of my military family and several countries and years in the job added up on the body. However the point is I kept any and all military docs and it still took me from 2007 to 2011 to get 100% perm. And total so keep at and dont get discouraged!!! If you were good to go going in like I was and getting more and more broke physically due to your dedicated service to your country dont give up you earned it!! Special note to WW1, WW2, KOREA, VIETNAM VETS THANK YOU FOR YOUR SELFLESS SERVICE AND LEADING THE WAY FOR THE REST OF US WALKING THE WALL !!! SALUTE AND MAY GOD BLESS YOU AND YOURS!! HOOAAH
I applied for IU and PTSD increase and ED secondary to PTSD. Got the increase to 100% P&T and got the SMC-K for ED. Thanks for all that you do for Veterans🙏🏻
I just want to make you smile but I finally got 100% P&t after 6 years. From the info you provided, the verbage to understand and put down, what they looked for into an exam and not giving up as of today I finally got 100% you are a tremendous help ! And sending any vets that need help to look at your videos !! Thanks a lot Combat Craig !!
The “VA BULLSHIT” is all rule based, and the rules are public and easily available to read and learn. If you don’t get what you want, it’s because you haven’t provided what the rules say you have to. Learn the rules, play the game better. It may be that you aren’t really THAT disabled. That’s the good news, pal.
@@harleyb.birdwhisperer And what easy to follow, step by step rules they are. Hell the VA doesn’t even follow the law. They have a manual that apparently supersedes the law. If you think people coming back from combat have the willpower to take on the VA system you might be more disabled then you thought, pal. And that’s the bad news. Dickhead.
Thank you CC. As a Recently retired Naval Officer in the US Navy I thank you. If I can be of assistance with anyone going through this process please let me know. My wife died on active duty in the Navy and was buried with full honors in Arlington National Cemetery. New: I am now back in my home state of Florida, District 13 where I grew up. I am seriously considering running for the US House of Representatives in 2022 as a staunch conservative. I thank all the viewers of this great channel and my apology for seeming to promote myself. Where else can I get support from military brethren.
@@homerfantastic yes and I have a better model going forward if I run. Conservative to the bone, 30 years Navy with recent retirement. I am a product of Florida, District 13 where I grew up and not from California. I believe she wants to be the next indefinite fixture/character in DC. If people vote me in and I do not satisfy my promises kick me out.
Hey Combat Craig…. Have you seen “NEW 100% P&T ID cards”?? Woow… it’s a beauty. It looks just like a CAC card, not those old green retired one. DEERS OR VA did great on that one. Got mine yesterday at the nearest military DEERS ID card office. You need 2 things to get the card: 1) DD214 2) VA letter showing you’re 100% P&T On the card it’s says “Indef”… basically will never expire. Folks need to get to get hundo club fast. The card let you get on base, shop, do whatever even if didn’t do 20 years in service. 🎉
Thanks for this post. Didn’t know I was P&T until today thanks to you. Didn’t know and couldn’t figure it out but seen many videos on P&T!! I’m thankful God Bless Sir!
Thank You! I have been watching your videos for a long while. I am now 100% P&T and got screwed on my back pay. Not going to refile unless I see a wa y to fix the back pay without risking the P&T.
Craig, I just want to thank you so much. I reached 100% p&t unemployability, 4-14-2023. I couldn't have been able to get it done without your encouragement and shared knowledge. Never give up....I never thought it would happen.
@@mchunley lucky, In montana I can't find a single acre of land that's affordable. Let alone desirable land with water.

Thanks CC for the info, just finished C@P with LHI today so we will see how that went with the letters that im sure will come from them (the V.A.). Happy Birthday Marines, Semper Fi!

I’m 100% not associated with the VA or hyping their app, just another Combat Veteran trying to look out for my fellow brother and sister veterans.
Craig are you gonna do a video on what is happening?, about these va cuts. People are doing videos but you are the go to man. Your input is needed. Ty again
I managed to get 100% p&t using an outside opinion with nexus letter. But your other videos got me worried the VA could eventually downgrade my rating. Definitely not fraud, live long and on going injuries, but never the less still has me anxious on what they may find as fraud. I know how bureaucratic the VA can be.
I am only at 60% so I know that I am not P&T. But I am trying like hell to get to 100% P&T. One more claim to go hope it gets me to the top. "SSD" will be a secondary claim. 2 years ago I started my claims. With CC help and talking to fellow vets. First 0% and 10%, Rate increase of the 0% to 30%. Second claim looking for one got two, another 10% and 20%. So I have 10%, 10%, 20%,30%. In order Tinnitus, Arthritis "neck", Ortho "neck, and Migraines.
You not getting there with 10s and 20s. If I’m in your shoes, the connection is : Tinnitus- to Mental health depression Migraine-to sleep apnea Neck athristis - to lower back Where are: knees, ankles, any flat feet See if any of these apply. 60%, you got ways to go. But you need to start with stacking these secondaries. I was at 10% a year ago. At 90% now, awaiting these clowns error to go be fix & I’ll be in the hundo club
I checked my account last month and found a surprise. I have been 100% for 5 years already but apparently I have been 100% P&T since last November. I receive SMC as well which total is about $4000 a month single. Also SSDI another $2600. Next year's Cola increase will be interesting, a little over $7k a month after an est. 8% cola increase.
When I click on Letter Generator it says "You'll need to sign in to eBenefits to access this feature." I'm already signed in. No explanation. Thanks VA.
I got my decision letter for 100% p&t in 2021. I started this process in 1993. I was tdiu in 2002. I did it the hard way. Wish I had help with the ordeal. It was a long struggle.
@Combat Craig I am willing to bet we went through similar struggles in our journey to 100%. Most of the information you go through in your presentations I went through myself.
Craig, first of all, THANK YOU!!! You are truly a beacon in a very dark place. Secondly, I am currently 90% but have TPIU, and compensation at 100%. I am also 67 years old, should I try to get a true 100%, or just leave it alone? Personally, I am thrilled with what I have and can't see any advantage to continuing to try for 100%, am I missing something?
Has anyone requested their C-File and received 2 ? Most of my disabilities are static but I am not P&T. With the severity of my disabilities though i imagine someday i will be granted the pleasure of not having to attend the dreaded anxiety exacerbating va evaluation.
I didn’t find some stuff on the regular decision letter but when the Pass&ID told me to go into the Commissary letter it told me everything that the decision letter didn’t. Like no future exams are needed. I never received a decision letter from the VA but found it in the letter download section. I was putting in for TDIU and got a decision that increased my bilateral 10% legs to 40% each and that made me a schedule 100% but the letter said something about not being able to work so maybe I both? Love your videos so please keep them up. Ken
Hey brother, I'm 100 % P&T, have a fiduciary. I cannot seem to get out of the program. I honestly can't believe it's been 2 years. I have a TBI, but never saw this coming, i served 05-13 and in 2013 was awarded 100%. In 2018, it was dropped due to missing an exam. Reinstated in 2019, fiduciary appointed may 2020. I currently have many restrictions in place. My money is broken up every month into 3 sections. Housing allowance, clothing, personal. How its broken down is crazy. I only get 1,000 for spending and cannot utilize any funds in my savings. I wanted to buy a vehicle and get an apartment but my "fiduciary " won't let me...im so confused. They said get a letter stating my competency but as you know thd VA is terrible. I called and asked for a competency review only to be told they cannot write me a letter. So essentially im stuck with someone else telling myself that I don't need my own place and that i don't need anything besides what they deem necessary. Shouldn't it be illegal to take away a disabled veteran's right to utilize their funds as they need them or see fit for their family ? I'm so confused. I was told initially that it was temporary. I had my last fiduciary keep me in a hotel spending approximately 40 grand of my money, i had found several places to go that were within my price range but was never able to leave. Anyway I could go on. I am very angry that I have no say on what my benefits are spent on. It seems so unnecessary. If any fellow combat Veterans know or have any advice i would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless.
Hello Combat Craig I Im 100% t&p. I live in los angeles and 100% income hardly pays for my expenses. I was wondering if Im able to work with 100% disability t&p.
😳 oh wow, my award letter has that on there.."your dependents may be eligible for DEA..." so based on what was just said in the video, I must be 100 P&T after all.?.?.?..Hip Hip Hooray!👏👏☝️...#UKRAINE 🙏🙌
Ok first of all.. 4:30 i see "side effect from mefloquine". I didnt know that was a thing! And neither did any of the docs I've talked to I guess. I've tried bringing up mefloquine so many times but no one has any knowledge on that blackbox drug we were given... Secondly, how do we get our code sheet? Is that accessible online? Thanks, Craig!
Let me guess your doctors probably work for the VA right? If so go find a real doctor or that isn’t incentivezed to not pay you. Your code sheet is in your VA claims file👍
You will be able to find it on your rating code sheet in your VA claims file. I created a playlist called VA letters that will walk you through the process.
Happy Veterans Day CC, thanks for all your hard work. I do have a question though, I am 40% and was wondering, if I go to 50% or 60% my non taxable income increases and the wife and I just pay more on our income taxes. I receive about 2k a month retirement. Am I missing something or will going over 50% make a difference?
@@CombatCraig thank you so much! I checked and I’m 100% scheduler. I will try and change my status to P&T. Thank you so much for your channel. I joined the 100% club in 2020 thanks to you! Much love and keep on doing what your doing! 👏🏻
So I can get to my letters section, but where are these other sections that show the circles with % listed? I'm not finding that anywhere and the video doesn't say where this is located to find.
I am 100% PT, but I still had one outstanding claim left. I went to the Chicago Comp&Pen apt and the dr said "all my notes say is billateral foot condition, do you know what that is in regards to"? I listed all the issues that I claimed for my feet and she had to check all of them. It wont effect anything, but how the F*)k can the VA be this stupid. I wish they would have let me go to a local apt, instead of at Chicago. I am 52miles from the Hospital and all of my other 26 appts have been local. Wait time at local places 10-20min tops. Wait at Chicago VA 30min-1.5hrs (My personal experience at the Chicago Comp& Pen since 1997
I had to withdraw my outstanding claims and appeals in writing once I reached 100% P&T. I was denied for my feet, but have high knee ratings that can be reduced if I don’t protect my ratings. I’m waiting 20 years from the award to file for my feet again.

🇺🇸🇺🇸
I checked my account last month and found a surprise. I have been 100% for 5 years already but apparently I have been 100% P&T since last November. I receive SMC as well which total is about $4000 a month single. Also SSDI another $2600. Next year's Cola increase will be interesting, a little over $7k a month after an est. 8% cola increase.
💰💰
That’s awesome!!!! Are you receiving a retirement check too??
What's SMC?

How did you get P&T? I’m at 100% but they didn’t give me P&T
No Future Exams was music to my 👂. There was an article recently about Wilkie, man does he not like Veterans.
I saw that one yesterday
Another great job, CC.
🤠🤠
Excellent Mr.CC. Happy Beer:30!
🤠🇺🇸✅🚀💯
When I click on Letter Generator it says "You'll need to sign in to eBenefits to access this feature." I'm already signed in. No explanation. Thanks VA.

I got my decision letter for 100% p&t in 2021. I started this process in 1993. I was tdiu in 2002. I did it the hard way. Wish I had help with the ordeal. It was a long struggle.
Yeah I was struggling with them for about 30 years myself until I figured out what I actually needed to do!
@Combat Craig I am willing to bet we went through similar struggles in our journey to 100%. Most of the information you go through in your presentations I went through myself.
Thanks Combat Craig!
🤠🤠
Thanks for the movation and information!!!!
🇺🇸🇺🇸
I've been 100 since 2015. Only got p&t this past month... first 40% was back in 2004
💰💰
Great info. Thank you.
🤠🤠
I logged in and it didn’t quite look this way
Craig, first of all, THANK YOU!!! You are truly a beacon in a very dark place. Secondly, I am currently 90% but have TPIU, and compensation at 100%. I am also 67 years old, should I try to get a true 100%, or just leave it alone? Personally, I am thrilled with what I have and can't see any advantage to continuing to try for 100%, am I missing something?
I would leave it alone man. It’s not worth risking a reduction🤠
Has anyone requested their C-File and received 2 ? Most of my disabilities are static but I am not P&T.
With the severity of my disabilities though i imagine someday i will be granted the pleasure of not having to attend the dreaded anxiety exacerbating va evaluation.
I hope you reach P&T status soon man🇺🇸🇺🇸
Not most ,ALL need to be static!!
You rock! Thank you,
🤠🤠
I didn’t find some stuff on the regular decision letter but when the Pass&ID told me to go into the Commissary letter it told me everything that the decision letter didn’t. Like no future exams are needed. I never received a decision letter from the VA but found it in the letter download section. I was putting in for TDIU and got a decision that increased my bilateral 10% legs to 40% each and that made me a schedule 100% but the letter said something about not being able to work so maybe I both? Love your videos so please keep them up. Ken
Right on Ken🇺🇸🇺🇸
If you 100% scheduler and 100% tdiu, call them take the tdiu away.
You want solely scheduler so you won’t have an income limit man
Hey brother, I'm 100 % P&T, have a fiduciary. I cannot seem to get out of the program. I honestly can't believe it's been 2 years. I have a TBI, but never saw this coming, i served 05-13 and in 2013 was awarded 100%. In 2018, it was dropped due to missing an exam. Reinstated in 2019, fiduciary appointed may 2020. I currently have many restrictions in place. My money is broken up every month into 3 sections. Housing allowance, clothing, personal. How its broken down is crazy. I only get 1,000 for spending and cannot utilize any funds in my savings. I wanted to buy a vehicle and get an apartment but my "fiduciary " won't let me...im so confused. They said get a letter stating my competency but as you know thd VA is terrible. I called and asked for a competency review only to be told they cannot write me a letter. So essentially im stuck with someone else telling myself that I don't need my own place and that i don't need anything besides what they deem necessary. Shouldn't it be illegal to take away a disabled veteran's right to utilize their funds as they need them or see fit for their family ? I'm so confused. I was told initially that it was temporary. I had my last fiduciary keep me in a hotel spending approximately 40 grand of my money, i had found several places to go that were within my price range but was never able to leave. Anyway I could go on. I am very angry that I have no say on what my benefits are spent on. It seems so unnecessary. If any fellow combat Veterans know or have any advice i would really appreciate it. Thank you and God bless.
Keep fighting man🤠🤠
Hello Combat Craig I Im 100% t&p. I live in los angeles and 100% income hardly pays for my expenses. I was wondering if Im able to work with 100% disability t&p.
love it! thank you!
👍👍
😳 oh wow, my award letter has that on there.."your dependents may be eligible for DEA..." so based on what was just said in the video, I must be 100 P&T after all.?.?.?..Hip Hip Hooray!👏👏☝️...#UKRAINE 🙏🙌
You sure are man! Welcome to the Hundo Club🚀🎉🤠🇺🇸
I looked and my rating is 100% permanent and total since Feb ‘19.
But mathematically my total disabilities ratings add up to 220.
☝️☝️
Yes, i am 100 p&t and on my code sheet it says that all of my disabilities are labeled as static!
💯💯
Happy Thanksgiving 🦃🍽🍁
🍁🍁
Thanks for the info
👍👍
💯🙏 T P pretty good CC 🎯😇🧭✌🍺 Florida 👍salute all veterans today 11 nov, 🎰
🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thank you for breaking it down Barney style.
Your welcome!
It’s 2023 and I got it. 4050$ 100 + PT.
Welcome to the Hundo Club!
I got rated 100% P&T 2 weeks ago.
🇺🇸💯✅🤠🚀
Is there an ID you can get to access base once your 100% TDIU?
I figured out my va claim file had to get a code to decrypt disc. Had to call 800 number
Oh nice man. That must have been frustrating as hell and thanks for circling back with an update 🤠
I think the p&t can also apply to tdiu veterans as well.
Of course
I love the cover women- she looks better on your front page channel.
You can also go trough my Va health
👍
I love the music in the background. What’s the name of that song? It’s tight 🔥
Need to get the app and show how to do stuff on it
👍
Ok first of all.. 4:30 i see "side effect from mefloquine". I didnt know that was a thing! And neither did any of the docs I've talked to I guess. I've tried bringing up mefloquine so many times but no one has any knowledge on that blackbox drug we were given...
Secondly, how do we get our code sheet? Is that accessible online?
Thanks, Craig!
Let me guess your doctors probably work for the VA right? If so go find a real doctor or that isn’t incentivezed to not pay you. Your code sheet is in your VA claims file👍
Where exactly can you find the determination of “static” on you individual ratings?
You will be able to find it on your rating code sheet in your VA claims file. I created a playlist called VA letters that will walk you through the process.
Happy Veterans Day CC, thanks for all your hard work.
I do have a question though, I am 40% and was wondering, if I go to 50% or 60% my non taxable income increases and the wife and I just pay more on our income taxes. I receive about 2k a month retirement. Am I missing something or will going over 50% make a difference?
Not that I’m aware of because VA disability is tax-free doesn’t count towards income
You don't even file VA pay on your income taxes.
Hello Combat Craig, so if I’m not P&T, does that mean I’m TDIU? Thanks! And love your channel!
Not necessarily. You can be 100% schedular and not TDIU. I would look at your account and find out for sure💯💯
@@CombatCraig thank you so much! I checked and I’m 100% scheduler. I will try and change my status to P&T. Thank you so much for your channel. I joined the 100% club in 2020 thanks to you! Much love and keep on doing what your doing! 👏🏻
How do I find my rating code sheet please?
So, is the P&T something they automatically do? You do not have to apply for it? Are there things we should know regarding how one earns the P&T?
I would say most of the time they give it to you but it all comes down to if your disabilites are static or not
Has anyone had experience requesting social security benefits after 100 p&t?
Lots of people win. You have to prove your claim using medical evidence with them too🤠
I’m not p&t but got awarded 100% a second time. What’s my next move?
Defense🤠
So I can get to my letters section, but where are these other sections that show the circles with % listed? I'm not finding that anywhere and the video doesn't say where this is located to find.
They are in e-benefits. If you can't find em, call the VA and they can walk you through it man.
Hi CC, have you made a video on how to apply for DEA for children? Calling the regional office and getting info is a goat screw at the moment Thanks
Na I haven’t gone through that process so I don’t have any first hand knowledge about it man🚀
www.va.gov/education/survivor-dependent-benefits/dependents-education-assistance/
I checked my disability and it doesnt say I permanent, but when I called they said I am permanent and emailed me the letter saying I am.
Nice now it needs to be permanent and total for 20 years and then it will be protected🤠
I am 100% PT, but I still had one outstanding claim left. I went to the Chicago Comp&Pen apt and the dr said "all my notes say is billateral foot condition, do you know what that is in regards to"?
I listed all the issues that I claimed for my feet and she had to check all of them. It wont effect anything, but how the F*)k can the VA be this stupid. I wish they would have let me go to a local apt, instead of at Chicago. I am 52miles from the Hospital and all of my other 26 appts have been local. Wait time at local places 10-20min tops. Wait at Chicago VA 30min-1.5hrs (My personal experience at the Chicago Comp& Pen since 1997
Wow what a total clown show those guys are!
I had to withdraw my outstanding claims and appeals in writing once I reached 100% P&T. I was denied for my feet, but have high knee ratings that can be reduced if I don’t protect my ratings. I’m waiting 20 years from the award to file for my feet again.
