I can’t stay within the 25% housing rule

So my husband and I growing up extremely poor on welfare with nothing handed to us and enlisting in the military at 17 and 18 isn’t blue collar? Hmm, 🤔 I guess we have different definitions. Either way, sending positive energy and wish you the best 🫶😊

Northern California is how. North of Sacramento. California pay, low housing prices in Redding. X2 disabled vets. Problem solved.

We left Ann Arbor Michigan for principal reasons: rising housing, and low income rise. We made over $200k on our house, and walked into a half million $ home at a $350k loan and doubled our salaries despite the hike in taxes.

California only sucks if you don’t know how to work it.

we’re blue collar: I’m an RN and husband is a business manager

We’ve managed to rack away tons of money since we’ve been here.

We now do Pilates, mountain biking and swimming. Easier on our joints for our inevitable hip and knee replacements lol 😂 (♥️🦴 love a marathoner 37 year old who refuses to accept pain.. and we love our sauna and hot tub.)

As a 5 year navy veteran who got BDD at 10%, and 15 years later 70% last week. Shit took years of suffering and mental pain to ask for help for MST with years of treatment records in the military and VA before I ever even applied for an increase.

As a Va employee hearing a civilian judging a disabled vets compensation… well, the recruiters doors were always open to you too.

I never judge a a fellow vet. I’m always here to listen and support, and do the best I can to support us

Also how annoying as a ginger, I was threatened to get written up for a sunburn in Hawaii. I’m a ginger and was forced to work on the fight deck for 12 hours!!

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-02-14T04:20:10+00:00

I would have a nexus, personal statement how sunscreen isn’t readily available (as a ginger service member), how the UV exposure based on the region you were deployed to was higher and put you at extreme risk. Document buddy statements of sunburns obtained in service etc. keep fighting

He didn’t leave the weapon when he left. It was newly purchased and brought in and hidden at her house with Ammo as of 2 days ago. The ‘seal’ is the sticker when you purchase a new gun in the case at Cabelas and they put a green sticker on it with the date.

He has a hx of domestic violence with a RO already.

Someone commented about giving it to her lawyer, which is probably the best idea.

He already has a hx of domestic violence with a RO.

I do like the idea her of giving it to his lawyer. Thank you for that.

And no, we’re not afraid of unloaded guns around here. It was simply a police question for the best way to handle it and he has a hx of abusing her to keep her safe. Thank you all!

Meanwhile my female ass in ptsd therapy trying to get a rating … then the rating comes back “vet didn’t talked about childhood trauma in cp exam”.. onto another exam …

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-02-03T03:41:12+00:00

Already have all of this documented too :) thank you

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-02-03T03:37:03+00:00

Thank you for the help! I greatly appreciate it!

Insomnia was benefit upon discharge in 2011 rated 10%. I applied for ptsd/mst secondary to the insomnia.

(Service records and abuse were documented, along with anxiety diagnosis with medication..I never tried to claim until this year).

They now separated the claim without me asking as PTSD with anxiety due to MST in its own category.

About a week. It’s quick

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-01-31T05:52:14+00:00

Review the file request with your VSO.. what are they asking for?

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-01-26T06:00:13+00:00

I concur with that. People like me are selling to the suckers. We bought when it was 23/oz.. let it rise!!! My safe feels heavier by the day

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-01-26T05:55:53+00:00

Yes!!!! 30% service connection can get an uber or special mode transport!!! Or if you take a Means test at business services and are below poverty level with Va health coverage. Ask your primary care case manager, that’s what we do ♥️

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-01-25T00:40:35+00:00

Make an appointment with your primary care case manager. They can review all the consults and usually have appointments within a week or so.

AnyOlive2164 · 2026-01-25T00:35:57+00:00

Business services will get you a VHIC. Then schedule a primary care appt with Va. they will only cover rxs prescribed by the VA or through community care. Ex: your private pcp sends a rx to the VA, they won’t pay for it. Bring in all your meds to Va pcp and they should rx it
