From the President
T
the ADA definition of “disability” to ensure that it would be
easier for individuals seeking the
protection of the ADA to establish that they have a disability
that falls within the meaning of
the statute. The Department’s
NPRM implements those changes into the ADA
title II and title III regulations.
he fact that we are part of the disabled community, I’m sure you heard that the Americans
with Disabilities Act (ADA) has passed its
25th anniversary. It was signed into law on July
26, 1990, by President George H.W. Bush. This
is one of America’s most comprehensive pieces
of legislation that prohibits discrimination and
guarantees that people with disabilities have the
same opportunities as everyone else to participate in the mainstream of American life.
However, the Paralyzed Veterans of America
(PVA) has been in the forefront of garnering
changes for the disabled community. Early on, it
was the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968, which
required accessibility at all, facilities. This was
followed by the 1973 federal government Rehabilitation Act, which mandated that construction of any
facility receiving federal moneys be accessible.
These regulations were adopted and revised,
allowing an enforceable accessibility standard
called the “2010 Standards.” On March 15,
2012, compliance with the new standards was
required for new construction and alterations
under Titles II and III.
Title I requires employers with 15 or more
employees to provide qualified individuals with
disabilities an equal opportunity to benefit from
the full range of employment-related opportunities available to others. Title I complaints must
be filed with the U. S. Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (EEOC) within 180
days of the date of discrimination, or 300 days
if the charge is filed with a designated State
or local fair employment practice agency. Individuals may file a lawsuit in Federal court only
after they receive a “right-to-sue” letter from the
EEOC.
The PVA lobbied for and helped establish the
1986 Air Carrier Access Act (ACAA), which set
the standard for nondiscrimination in air travel.
Doug Volmer led the fight for that legislation. That
type of legislation had a ripple effect, as Paralyzed Veterans’ leadership on the ACAA opened
up the conversation among disability rights
groups about the need for a broad disability
rights law.
What the ADA provided, was to allow the disabled to enjoy employment opportunities, to
purchase goods and services, and to participate
in State and local government programs and
services. This was modeled after the Civil Rights
Act of 1964, which prohibits discrimination on
the basis of race, color, religion, sex, or national
origin. The ADA is an “equal opportunity” law for
people with disabilities.
Charges of employment discrimination on the
basis of disability may be filed at any U.S.
Equal Employment Opportunity Commission
field office. Field offices are located in 50 cities
throughout the U.S. and are listed in most telephone directories under “U.S. Government.”
Title III covers businesses and nonprofit service providers that are public accommodations,
privately operated entities offering certain types
of courses and examinations, privately operated
To enjoy the benefits offered by the ADA, one
must have a disability, which is defined by the
ADA as a physical or mental impairment that substantially limits one or more major life activities, a
person who has a history or record of such
impairment, or a person who is perceived by
others as having such an impairment.
transportation, and commercial facilities. Complaints of title III violations may be filed with the
Department of Justice.
So, this is my short version of the ADA. But,
rest assured, PVA is not resting on their laurels,
they are still lobbying congress trying to make
the playing field level for all of us.
Curiously, the ADA does not specifically name
all of the impairments that are covered. To help
define things further the ADA Amendments Act
of 2008 made a number of significant changes to

Yoga, and Massage involves a network of Veterans, who have experienced the pain that stems from the combativeness
of warfare, while serving in the military. The Veterans who go through our program are educated about grief and
trained as Peer Mentors so that they can support current Military Service Members who have been affected by a similar
tragedy.

What a Head Massage Can Do for You?
The head massage is a technique of manipulating soft tissues in the
shoulders and scalp. The therapist uses a range of different massage
pressures and rhythms to stimulate the head and neck area. The
neck and shoulder massage helps lymphatic drainage, eliminates
muscle tension and stimulates circulation and distributes oxygen to
all the tissues. The face massage soothes and rebalances your energy
flow, making you feel calm and tranquil.

aralyzed Veterans of America Central Florida
thrives to keep veterans with spinal cord
injuries or dysfunction connected through
core programs that assist them to obtain
veteran’s benefits in a timely manner by providing a liaison with VA Medical Centers or other
institutions where members receive healthcare.
We publish a monthly magazine in an effort to
keep our members informed of what is happening locally and nationally in legislature that
directly affects them and their families. And, we
provide opportunities in adaptive sports and
recreation in an effort to enhance a lifetime of
health and fitness (both physically and mentally), in order to offer a better quality of life. In
fulfilling this “commitment that lasts a lifetime”
we are working hard at the office to provide that
“magical experience” often spoken of in the
Orlando area. This year we have offered
opportunities in the areas of entertainment
through our Wheels on the Go program, sports
through various fishing tournaments, a golf
tournament and an upcoming boccia clinic
(sometime in October), and recreation through
events such as a St. Patrick’s Day luncheon and
a Summer Blast (picnic on the grounds of our
facility in Sanford, which included activities for
children and adults alike, food, popcorn, cotton
candy, cookies and ice cream with all the fixings). Coming up we have the Never Forget the
Core Vet Wellness Retreat (September 12), a
volunteer recognition banquet (September 26)
and our annual holiday party (December 5). Our
goal is to offer opportunities for every one and
we are working hard at getting you to participate but, we need your help. We need feedback
on what you would like to see your chapter do
for you. Write, call me or send me an email at
cfpvaed@cfl.rr.com. Let us know what we are
doing right and what we are doing wrong. We
will make every effort to change what we need
to change and include what we need to include.
We also need your involvement. We still have
a couple of open board positions. Remember
participation on the board involves attending
one board meeting per month (currently on the
second Wednesday of the month. The chapter
will pay you forty cents per mile that you travel
round trip from your home to
the office and back to your
home. On the national level,
the VA announced a budget
shortfall. The VA could have a
2.5 billion shortfall of money by
the end of the fiscal year due to care services
provided outside of the VA. Congress may
have gained approval to tap into the Choice
Act fund to help offset the shortfall. The PVA’s
concern is we may be heading into another
problem like this again next year. Two bills to
keep an eye on are (S: 1085) = Military and
Veteran Caregiver Services Improvement Act
of 2015, and (S: 469) = Women Veterans and
Families Health Services Act of 2015. Go to
congress.gov to track the bills and also check
out the National PVA website (www.pva.org)
for additional information on the bills. There is
concern among people within PVA that Congress needs to modify the Air Carrier Access
Act, Carl Blake (PVA Associate Executive
Director of Government Relations) stated that
PVA is having conversations that will reopen
the ACAA and develop a strategy that will
apply significant modifications. Concerning the
Choice Act, PVA’s guidance is that members
should go to the appropriate SCI unit regardless of the 40 mile rule.

“Freedom and the dignity of the
individual have been more available and assured here than in any
other place on earth. The price for
this freedom, at times has been
high but we have never been unwilling to pay that price. Those who
say that we are in a time when
there are no hero’s. They just don’t
know where to look.”

HOW TO EFFECTIVELY READ AND UNDERSTAND YOUR VA RATING DECISION
The VA Claims process can often be confusing
and frustrating and once you have received your
rating, many veterans don’t understand all of the
information that the rating decision it provides.
Obtaining a better understanding of your rating
decision and how to effectively read it, benefits all
veterans and will hopefully reduce the amount of
claims and appeals filed due to misunderstanding.
First let’s discuss the anatomy of a rating
decision. The Rating Decision consists of the
Department of Veterans Affairs Regional Office
(RO) crest and address of the RO that rated the
claim, followed by the veterans name, social
security or VA claim number, the name of the service organization or representative of the veteran,
followed by the date of the rating decision.
Reasons for Decision
This section explains the rating in greater detail. If
your claim was granted, it will explain what percentage was granted, why you were granted that
specific percentage, and what warrants a higher
percentage for that condition. If you feel you
deserved a higher percentage than you received,
review what warrants the higher percentage and
check your medical evidence to make sure you
met that criteria. If you did meet the criteria for the
higher percentage, contact your service officer and
have him/her review your medical evidence and
discuss your options.
If your claim was denied, this section will
explain why your claim was denied. Some of the
more common reasons for denials are “service
connection for the condition does not show that
you are clinically diagnosed with this condition”.
Another common reason for denials is “your service treatment records do not show any complaints
of, treatment for, or a diagnosis of claimed condition”. The VA is looking for key medical evidence
to grant service connection, they are looking for a
diagnosis of a chronic condition, and chronic treatment for that condition while in service, and often
times they are also looking for continuity of care
once you have retired or separated from service.
These statements are saying that the records
search of your service treatment records does
not show a medical diagnosis or treatment for the
claimed condition. Remember, in order for the VA
to grant service connection, the condition must be
a diagnosed condition. If you were denied service
connection because the VA could not find medical
records showing your diagnosis, it is in your best
interest to locate and provide those records for the
VA. If you don’t have a copy of your service treatment records, you can request them from the VA
using a VA Form SF180. The easiest way to locate
the VA Form SF180 is to Google it. If you don’t
have a computer or need assistance requesting
your Service Treatment Records (STR’s), contact
your National Service Officer or Service
Organization.
Hopefully, this will assist you in understanding
your rating decision more. As always, if you are
seeking VA disability benefits, always consult with
your Service Organization or National Service
Officer.
Introduction
The introduction section of the rating decision
describes the veterans period(s) of service, the
years of service, and the branch of service. That is
followed by the date the claim was received by the
VA Regional office. If you filed your claim prior to
the date listed in the introduction section, contact
your service officer or service organization and discuss the issue with them. It’s always best to verify
your date of claim because you may be entitled to
additional benefits or compensation.
Decision
The decision section will BRIEFLY explain whether
you were granted service connection or denied
service connection. If you were granted service
connection, the rating will provide you with the
percentage granted for that particular condition and
the effective date of the granted condition. If your
claim was confirmed and continued, that means
that your service connected percentage will continue at its current rate. If your claim was denied or
the previous denial was confirmed and continued,
that means your claim has remained denied.
Evidence
The evidence section should list all of the medical
evidence that was submitted to support the claim
and should list the dates of that evidence as well.
It is very important to check this section to make
sure that all of the evidence submitted is listed
in this section. That assures you that all of your
evidence was considered in making a decision on
your claim.
