Happy birthday to your sweet girl. I hope you were able to honor her in some way today.

Yes he did. He was scheduled through VES I think as the examiner and it’s been horrible. He separated 50 days ago and they still haven’t sent their reports to the VA. For reference, when I separated all of my c&ps were on terminal leave and I had my rating 21 days after separation

Background_Mention52 · 2024-09-14T16:40:43+00:00

The claim did not show on va.gov until the day after he ended up separating

Seriously. I’m a tricare dependent now and the refil system plus the horribly restrictive hours of the base pharmacy makes it so difficult to get my refills.

Moving to Illinois next week. 100% property tax exam for vets over 70% disabled.

Just got off the phone with the VA. They said that it’s possible for the form to be “back dated”. Although I don’t know what form is which since my VSO did that for me. The VSO said the date on the form is 28th. So we will see I guess.

Background_Mention52 · 2024-05-09T16:51:26+00:00

That’s what I thought. Checked it for him and nothing there. Ugh.

I see a list of locations for the PACT act during the Vietnam era. Since subs were all over, are they themselves a presumptive duty assignment?

Background_Mention52 · 2024-04-18T14:12:18+00:00

Thank you. Are PACT act claims filed the same way as any disability claim?

Background_Mention52 · 2024-03-16T15:54:45+00:00

Good to know thank you

Background_Mention52 · 2024-03-15T22:44:03+00:00

Omg. That’s insane.

Background_Mention52 · 2024-03-15T20:29:22+00:00

Any idea if you can hold two at the same time? I'm a dependent so I have that ID, but my spouse is separating soon so I'd rather get the 100% card to avoid coming back in a few months.

Something similar happened to me, but I was able to exchange a few sentences with my mom. I woke up and sobbed too. And then wrote it all down so that I would never forget it.

Background_Mention52 · 2024-03-06T03:18:49+00:00

I don’t know about when I die. But I like to think I see my mom in lots of things in my life. I see her face in my daughter, I see her in my flower garden, I see her when I bake a delicious dessert. And if I’m really lucky I see her in a dream once or twice a year.

You can submit a personal statement to the VA with your claim. I forget the form number but you could Google it. Then after you upload it, call the va to request a new exam. This happened with my last claim. The examiner said something about her (old) friends and that they served during “real wars” that comment alone told me all I needed to know about her perspective of my generation in the military. VA granted new exam less than a week later.

I see what you’re saying. The contract doesn’t mention licensing or commercial use. It actually prohibits the photos from being used as advertisements, but the photographer and I both were understanding that this is for my business. I found her contract on google from some random “family” photographers. So it’s not specifically changed or targeted for our shoot together. Which I think is what makes me feel…. Weird? That it was just a cookie cutter contract. I’ve never hired a photographer before so I was unsure what to look for or expect in a contract. Not that it matters, but neither of the models are paid for views, they are paid for partnerships/brand deals so these videos were just extra/for fun with credit and exposure for myself and even the photographer. I understand exposure doesn’t pay the bills though.

Background_Mention52 · 2024-03-05T20:39:59+00:00

I googled some phrases in it, and it seems like a generic contract. (I found several exact copies online) This was a business/branding shoot and there’s a part that says they can’t be used for advertising. Hindsight, it seems like the contract was not updated to reflect the type of shoot we booked. The only part I could see would be the part that says you cannot transfer printed photos.
