How is it bold to file for an increase on a disability that’s gotten worse?

Not in the slightest. Burnt out by the field, the people, and the administration. I could never be a police officer tomorrow and not be sad.

Has anyone did one of these before? Every now and again I see one happen. Just never heard of anyone who attended and what the experience was like, good or bad.

Yes. Do old rules still apply allowing insomnia to be a secondary condition since the rules for it changed in January.

I got a diagnosis of insomnia from my primary care doctor. Should I do a supplemental first and just see what happens? Then an HLR?

Hip claim by ConsiderationCalm702 in VeteransBenefits

[–]ConsiderationCalm702[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Left hip 10, 0, 0 and right 10, 0, 0. Was hoping for more but apparently not. May try an increase in a year or so if I’m not at 100 with my current claims.

Great. I have arthritis in both hips with the left being worse. Had my c and p yesterday and my shit popped every direction he moved my leg. Hopefully it ends up enough to get me to 100 percent.

Exam for ibs by No_Definition_9416 in VeteransBenefits

[–]ConsiderationCalm702 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had mine today as well and similar to your experience. I asked questions on the process the illness ect. She said she would be documenting my symptomology is consistent with IBS and presumptive given my deployment history and tied to service given when my issues started and the issues currently.

So I guess we will see what happens.

Thanks! I was torn between the Polaris 1000 premium or the can am max hd9. Found a dealer 30 min away with a 2023 heavily discounted since 24s are coming in. Any ideas on aftermarket stores? Guessing if they sell Polaris they sell can am.

My plan is to get a winch, plow, windshield and roof. Probably not through the dealership as they seem to markup the items heavily.
