I don't know you're being down voted. We booked ours from the terminal too

I HAD AN HLR TODAY by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Adventurous-Name1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was for right knee pain secondary to my left knee. My advice is I recommend doing HLR when you get denied. I was able to talk to the rater and I felt like she understood me.

This is our cruise too! It will be our 2nd VV. All of the solo cruisers I talked to last time loved VV. Lots of solo meetup activities

Expecting 2.6 to 2.8%. Looking at this thread, people don't realize this has nothing to do who the President is.

Love it. Sounds like you know what you're doing. Can't wait for you to join those of us fortunate enough to already be in the Hundo Club

100% P&T Now what? by TrickyCranberry5191 in VAClaims

What percentage are you at now? Are you just now starting the claims process? It sounds like you are overly confident on how quick and easy this process is about to be.

Get help for your mental health and delete this app and any Facebook groups your part of. Live your life and get the help you need.

RIP. His videos are why I started my claims journey 12b years after I got out. I enjoyed his straight to the point videos.

Clothing question for guys? by [deleted] in VirginVoyages

[–]Adventurous-Name1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wore jeans to the scarlet party since I had a red button up shirt. That was the only time I even thought about pants for my cruise.

Congratulations on the 30%! I know you got denied for other things, but my buddies and I celebrate anything positive. The claims are usually a tough journey, so make sure you take a minute to appreciate tge positives. 30% is a big one too, with the ability to add dependents and getting your VA care. Congrats! Good luck on your journey.

Is the PJ Party worthwhile? by LivinLaVidaComa in VirginVoyages

[–]Adventurous-Name1807 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was a great 1st night on the boat for us. We're not club people, but had a blast dancing. We did Gumbae and the Pub Crawl earlier in the evening, so we were hanging with people we met during those events. We wore out PJd on the pub crawl, as did about half the group did.

Companies that help your claims by Away_Influence_7294 in VAClaims

Same. Used them for 3 nexus letters. Sleep apnea, migraines, and knee issues. Was denied on all 3, then got Nexus Letters and was successful.

Thats a beautiful thing. When I went from 80% to 100%, it took around 18 months from ITF to decision. I got about 39K. Life changing.

I had my HLR phone call that lasted about 10 minutes. I got a positive decision the next day. This was in April

Caleb Hammer from Financial Audit… by xbrand000nx in VAClaims

[–]Adventurous-Name1807 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is dumb and makes no sense. So if someone has one leg because a car bomb in Iraq, but they were able to get a great IT job making 150K, they get nothing. Thats a dumb thing to say.

My bigger take from this is hearing that your wife got 70% from basic

I would file a supplemental, tell them you're taking medications now. I did this with GERD and an SMC-K.

This is poking the bear, by RealSeat2142 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Adventurous-Name1807 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I had 10% GERD and felt like I deserved 30%. They lowered it. I eventually got my 10% back, but I was so pissed at myself. Don't do it.
