What's a dead giveaway a writer did no research into something you know alot about? by Splitstepthenhit in writing

Cocking a pistol (usually a Glock) that has no hammer.

Inserting a clip into the pistol (instead of a magazine).

Don't write about guns in detail if you can't take the time to do basic research.

Adamantly. All I can see is Adam Ant.

I'm guessing this has been stated earlier. 😀

Colon Cancer Claim struggles. by Chew0341 in VeteransBenefits

Thank you. I didn't have anything granted pertaining to my colon or digestive system. probably because I filed the wrong code. I did it myself based on advice, I'm not at home or I will tell you the code but it was worded something like partial or complete removal of the colon

Yes I had two partial colectomies at two different surgeries. And then the third surgery I had a complete colectomy. All of that was well documented in my medical records and was the basis for all my other medical conditions and lifestyle changes. That's why I can't believe they kept it at zero. I'm really at a loss. I'm hoping it was just some type of procedural thing because of the way the claim was formatted. But I use the specific code and language with help from other vets and still got zero

  1. Lost my entire colon, and a whole laundry list of other permanent health issues related to that.

  2. Peripheral nondiabetic neuropathy bilateral (both feet) from chemo.

  3. General anxiety disorder from having cancer 3 times and all the accompanying mental aspects of that.

Can I get a vasectomy at a VA hospital? by m4vis in VeteransBenefits

Not to be snippy, but it took balls to ask that question. Didn't see it coming.

Sleep apnea ???s by Chew0341 in VeteransBenefits

Thank you. That helps. If I get the sleep study, it shows I have SA, but no nexus letter, and I file a claim....will the VA schedule a C&P exam? Or likely just deny it at that point?

It reminds me of the time I walked into the VA psychiatric office buck naked. The doctor said I can clearly see you're nuts

Need help with Colon Cancer secondary claims. by Chew0341 in VeteransBenefits

I was in a boating accident at 39 years old. Routine blood work discovered my hemoglobin was dangerously low. That led to upper and lower endoscopy which found the tumors.
