An increase in SS is great news. I just received notification that my VA Claim is in process. I finally went to the VA in Manchester, NH to see about my hearing loss...25 years in the Field Artillery. They also included the knee I blew out at annual training back in the mid-eighties, which resulted in a total knee replacement in 2009. I will just be happy if I get hearing aids before answering Barb with Huh?? becomes a habit!
Great news on your VA claim!
