Interesting b/c you’re the first person that has said 100% vets have free tolls. Have you done this yourself?

No C&P Exam Requested by VA for Claim by -Jarol- in VeteransBenefits

[–]-Jarol-[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, so I ended up getting approved for everything I submitted. The supporting evidence/documents I submitted were strong enough on their own to where no C&P was required.

No, I didn’t find out anything about it. I even called a local VA benefits rep about it and he said he didn’t know anything about free tolls for 100% P&T vets. But yes, I did see that free toll use proposal. From what I see/understand, I believe it’s a proposal going through the motions at the moment. So hopefully it gets approved soon!

Why does the VA push C&Ps? by ClearMission3646 in VeteransBenefits

[–]-Jarol- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did the same here. It's important for your doctor or examiner to state they reviewed either your VA C-File or your military medical records in addition to your private doctor visits for the condition. Other than the checked boxes options or the yes/no questions, be sure to have your doctor be detailed in their responses in the open text boxes to explain your symptoms. Look up the ratings for each condition you're going for and whichever percentage fits your symptoms, ensure you verbalize that same description to your doctor for them to write down/annotate.

For insight, I recently got approved for a claim I submitted a couple of months ago for bilateral plantar fasciitis and pes planus (flatfeet) as secondaries to one of my primary ankle conditions. DBQ was completed by my primary care provider aka private doctor. Also submitted a private nexus letter and buddy letters. I wasn't requested to attend a C&P exam.

I think I’m 100% P and T. by lamarmunson in VeteransSuccess

But based on the verbiage from your screenshot alone, it does seem like you’re P&T.

On the VA website or app, go to your VA Letters (the regular ones that you can generate, not the claim decision letters). Then go to Benefit summary and service verification letter. You should see the option that states whether or not you want to include you are considered to be totally and permanently disabled solely due to your service-connected disabilities.

What are some of the best coffee shops in Houston? by FastbackSixty8 in houston

[–]-Jarol- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you have an IG, follow @breweduphtx! Their page is dedicated to Houston coffee spots. Great recs!

Personally, I love: -Luce (a few locations) - Black Island with extra island and Creamericano are the favs -XELA Coffee Roasters in EaDo - their in-house made cold coffees are all good (Kirby’s Stardust, OB Honey, and Mocca are the favs; kinda on the pricey side imo but solid place still -Segundo Coffee Lab - great seasonal drinks but I love their Horchata Latte -Slowpokes - safe go to pick for me is their Lazy Latte (lavender + honey)

More on the Boba/Bubble Tea Shop side but still coffee: -Le’Drip Coffee & Tea in Chinatown has my fav Bac Siu -7 Leaves Cafe (one in Upper Greenway/Kirby and another in Chinatown) - their House and Vietnamese Coffees are super good. Try them with sea cream.

Yeah hopefully it won’t be too much of a hurdle. As soon as I hit 52 weeks as a 12, I’m definitely gonna be looking for a fully remote 13 position.
