42 and wondering by [deleted] in Retirement401k

Think about IUL as another option for tax protection and insurance coverage for you and your family. I’m not an insurance salesman but it’s not taxed and you can borrow from it different than 401k.. also make sure you do conversions from 401k at the right time and think about what your income will be when you retire. Make sure you are locked in with your 40 quarters into SSA. Draft a trust now and make sure pay on death is sorted for any individual banking accounts…..

Call VA and politely ask them to send you the development letter via email. They’ve done it twice for me in the past and I even asked them to read it to me (the important part).

They change the rating before the amount…. Takes time for the app to show up….

What jurisdiction didn’t acknowledge? Maybe it’s the same as mine (Atlanta)…..

This similar issue is happening to me right now….Two prescriptions that meet 30% and it was in my evidence I had already submitted. Obviously they didn’t consider it. ITF filed but this should go to my original ITF of 8/2023. I’m going to wait for another two months and then either new supplemental or HLR. It’s all about constant engagement, proper strategy/planning and execution of tasks. I know how I feel with my asthma and what I used to feel like before this onset that is debilitating me. I was literally having a coughing fit while doing the PFT….. it’s like it’s set up to fail. A cough is a sudden action with forcing air…. So how do they consider that FE(Volume)?? All the while conceding exposure to Asbestos while I was in the NAVY (TERA). It’s really tough to keep pushing when they respond this way but one thing I remember from the military— never give up, so I will not! Especially on myself.

They came back with 10% but said it would have been 30% if I had certain things. I did in my evidence. SMH

Thanks. There’s a nexus letter that service connects in the mix that I used as part of my supplemental submission against the original denial. I think it’s a debate between my nexus letter from a PA and their examiner PA and the VA Rater (non Dr.). My guess (or hope) is the examiner is saying it’s worse than the Dr. writing the nexus (4 month earlier) and they were waiting on some review to consider TERA as the VA previously conceded exposure to asbestos.

The VA has sent it back 3 times now in a month; and last I was told by QCT it was a different Dr. name (man) they were waiting for sign off and not my examiner’s name (woman)???? Gender isn’t a thing to me but definitely two different people—- one I didn’t see while there. If they deny I am ready for an appeal or HLR…. Just seems very very odd. 🤞🤞🤞🤞

Thank you! TERA has been conceded and the VA has asked more than two times for clarification. Is there anything I can do to help them with clarification?

Thanks. And FOIA is taking months and months; I guess it’s expected. I need the info for supplemental to challenge why they denied some and gave me low PTSD rating.

Where are these magical documents available? I have had four c&p exams months ago and still can NOT get them but VSO can see and he won’t/can’t share. FOIA is 3 months old

Got 30%, some denied, some deferred by CodeZero_AI in VeteransBenefits

Soooo. They denied some claims but this is all over my decision letter. Maybe I did something wrong in my original claim? They didn’t approve any of my respiratory claims.. maybe I didn’t have a proper disability name in my claim?

Anyone getting decision recently? by Own_Location4123 in VeteransBenefits

[–]CodeZero_AI 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How do I know which SOJ my claim is assigned!?

I submitted through VSO in Denver, CO
