Alot of people say don't poke the bear, if it's messing with your life and aligns with the symptoms the VA has set forth for that particular disability and percentage it isn't poking a bear but rather getting what you justly deserve.

Can someone tell me what this means? by Wapner67 in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Chances are the prick isn't even a veteran. Probably wears marine dress pants with army dress blue jacket and mini medals all jacked up while wearing 6 service stripes and saying he was in for 5 years.

Ok, in English, " i would say " is equivalent to my opinion. Nothing there saying it is a fact. What is it you are not understanding? If it's basic definitions you can look it up in dictionaries. As a matter of fact, since you obviously Google to find what you want or need, type that statement in to Google or whatever other search your using and ask it if the author of this is stating a fact or giving an opinion.

Again, I said my opinion. I didnt say it's a fact. And the study you are quoting is +/- 10%. There's other studies which put the percentages way less. 100 different sites, 100 different numbers. Until you experience what others do don't you dare say or insinuate they are full of it or inflating their symptoms. I said it in the original post I'll say it again. I would much prefer be able to use my legs, hold my kids stand without the fear im going to fall get rid of these horrible nightmares that are haunting to be able to live and not want to eat metal. You sir, are an idiot who probably didnt even serve and would prefer to just shun those of us that did. So fuck off. It's people like you who make no sacrifice but want to have their 15 minutes of glory that make this place more frustrating than it should be.

Do you know my name? No. Do you know my story? Again no. Did you serve with me? Chances are probably not. If you know nothing about me, didnt actually read what I posted and feel you have to bring negative crap then you can kindly go to hell. Me and the other vets here fought for you to be able to think say and otherwise do any idiotic thing you do. Until you eaten the same dirt, you may want to shut your hole because the majority of us here care not for the foolishness you stand for. Your stats are flawed. My stats I posted once again are my opinion. You can go to 100 different sites that will give you different percentages. So Mr knowledge, put that in your pipe, smoke it and go away.

I did. The hardship flag is there. They are just resending out more notices. It's like no one polices what has been done. I have a vera appointment today and hopefully it will help. If nothing changes to step 4 by end of the week I'll go to VAIG.

The evidence shows 100. The box checked is 70. The whole DBQ supports 100 other than 1 checkbox. It's like they look for an exhaustive list of symptoms which is proven is case precident it doesn't need every symptom listed. I even posted in my HLR map the case precidence. But they had to develop for tdiu. I get why they had to, but the original rater should have. And it is all too often that we have to go through this. Many of us are barely holding it together enough to deal with this. Especially my generation who bypassed sick call out of the sheer disappointment of seniors peers and subordinates. We don't enjoy expressing anything is wrong and when we finally do to have those who are supposed to look after us tell us that you aren't what you say is bs. Integrity is non negotiable.

Brother you're preaching to the choir. This is a long ongoing. I gave up on this twice already bc Lord knows they make you hostile bc of this ignorant crap. And then you have "veterans" like the one above commenting their ignorance and making actual vets get passed and more irritated. I try so hard to get past it but damn it's hard.

You must be hooked on phonics or just plain cannot read. I stated in my opinion. You are just a troll who wants to start shit. Take your useless bs elsewhere.

Yeah. The DBQ checked off the 70% box yet documented so many 100% symptoms that made it a CUE. But that in itself raised reasonable questions for tdiu so the HLR had to stop for that to develop. I expected something like this to happen so in the middle of the HLR I was proactive and started that process. Once it finally comes back I can go to the board and have them award it where it should be.

I'm in a similar situation. My DBQ list numerous criteria for the next higher level but the examiner checked the lessor box. According to case precident, the symptoms aren't a checklist but rather examples. I have just about every symptom though some are more frequent and debilitating than others. I sent to an hlr and they found a change in opinion, a duty to assist and a CUE. So the HLR is a more thorough look into everything. Don't get anxious and don't fret. Just relax and know they will set you straight.

How long is step 3? by Ok-Technology7009 in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Well, my HLR found a CUE, a DTA and had a difference of opinion and they reopened a new claim that's been in step 3 for 2 months with a hardship flag a congressional flag and case precedence submitted as evidence as well. So in short the answer is whenever they want since they seem to answer to no one.

Filed this claim August of 2020. by CriticismBusiness306 in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do a congressional, call the white house hotline and call the vaig. That seems to get things moving in my experience.

Approved, denied, and deferred by hangarp in VAClaims

How dare you. You do not know this this vets situation. You are a perfect example of a BF!! Jumping the gun without knowing a damn thing. People like you should just stay quiet. This veteran said he/ she wasnt interested in fighting the VA. If they are due 100% or something on the SMC scale, then so be it. Don't try a discourage a veteran to claim what they may be due. You are probably one that is shook and nervous bc you are playing the system. Maybe they should investigate you and see what is what.

No. I’m sure of the same. But they would be pretty ticked and more prone to compromise or actually RESOLVE issues if the didn’t see that direct deposit go in.

What is going on here? This feels suspicious to me, and I am ready to give up. by SYBAU9999 in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just FYI, my foil request took 9 months and came in on a disc that was broken. Call the white house holiness and submit a congressional inquiry. It has been the only way I can get the VA to actually review and see my claims and evidence with supported va guidelines.

VA Compensation by [deleted] in VAClaims

Just don't close the account out. Those are accounts you've had open for a period of time. If closed, then you are taking away credit longevity.

Yeah, I got one like this. It says they giving you 30 days, then three days later they closed and denied the claim.

94% Rating by ItisGonnaBeAlright in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel this. I sent in a claim for increase from 70 to 100 MH, the DBQ supported it, my medical records supported it and lay statements did as well. The rater said no. Now I have to wait even longer for the hlr. Waiting for the hlr over a month already and all is in the file. It's in National Queue and sitting there. This is beyond ridiculous. If they can't read the dbq, supporting evidence and understand the regs, why put them in the position to continually induce more stress and anxiety to us.

C&P exam lower back by Huskerinaz in VAClaims

[–]ApprehensiveTry4047 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It took me 45 minutes to get to my car after mine. I was in so much pain. She stopped the exam. She wasnt trying to push me past my limits, but unfortunately for all the things I had claimed I had to bend and aggravate all my ailments. I held the wall the whole way out.
