PSP Questions   Question #13    I have nerve problems and bad circulation in my feet and lower legs. I also have drop foot. I wear special shoes and leg braces to keep me stable when walking and standing. This is SC. I am 100% T&P.   Would I qualify for special compensation such as loss of use of foot etc.?   A1:  You can file for loss of use or SMC-K which give you an additional $104 above your 100%.

Full name: Email address: Comments:   Question #14    I have been in the VA medical system for eight years and go to my Primary provider Doctor there. If I need to file a claim for a residual condition from a previous closed claim do I ask the VA Doctor or go to an outside Doctor for consultation of the problem? The VA Doctors don't say much about helping you with a claim. Is this normal? I am a Vietnam vet with a service connected claim awarded for lung cancer in 2011, now I have residuals resulting from the cancer and surgery of removal of lower lobe. A1:  Since you are already SC for lung cancer and assume it's due to Agent Orange, all you really need is a statement from your Oncologist stating your residuals are due to lung cancer. If you have a good relationship with your PCP, ask him/her if they would consult with your oncologist about this request. (CP) 3/30/2016   A2:  File your claim now....don't wait....there will be time to collect all the supporting documentation. You will be required to get evaluated anyway regardless for current doctor statements.  (LG)  5/21/2016       If you can help please respond to this question. Full name: Email address: Comments:
