VA Ruled - I am 100% Unemployable

The VA just sent their ruling and I got it in todays mail. The Veterans
Administration found me 100% unemployable [I applied Aug 27th, 2005],
and they are making it retro from Sept 2005.
Reasons: Due to explosive diarrhea from adhesions and unpredictability
of these episodes, they find me 100% unemployable.
Currently, I have an application at the Social Security Administration
for same disability complaints. I took on 2 government agencies at the
same time.
This may be premature to say this but I have been told one part of the
gov't cannot grant you disability and another gov't agency deny you. I
will be contacting Social Security Monday to notify them of the ruling
and send the VA decision to the SSA Regional Office. Currently, I am
awaiting Social Security's decision. This will definately have an
influence I am sure.
I am sitting her numb, tearful, shaking and shocked. I cannot believe
my fight is over legally and I have financial relief forever. I thank
God for ruling in my favor in just an 8 month process vs. many years of
appeals etc. I honestly, did not know how I was going to survive
financially since I been borrowing thousands every month during these
disability application processes.
Scared hardly describes this time in my life especially if my cases
dragged on because it is NOT that I DO NOT want to work, I CANNOT...and
feared how much I would have to lose in the process [my home, my car
etc]. I would love to have a job, but that is not possible. There is
NOBODY that would hire me, and internally I have been in hell with
worry.
22 years of hurt and upset with non-believing Doctors, 22 years of how
am I going to get a long later in life.
I just wanted to share this with you all. My journey started with
non-believing Doctors which turned around in 2004 [finally had abnormal
small bowel series]. I was finally pain managed after 22 years of
suffering with Doc's thinking I was a drug seeker since I had normal
tests until [2004].
Now, I finally was given the respect from the Gov't.
I hate my adhesion disease, I hate the battles that come with it, but
the good news is this community here gave me the strength to fight, and
for that I love you all!
Much Love to each and every one of you....DO NOT give up...your not
alone!
