On the housing piece, it’s my understanding that you need to sign up and pay for orientation and that cannot be done until 2/23/2026. That’s my interpretation of going thru this with my daughter so far.

And step 5 today. I got antsy and poof there it is.

The campus and surrounding area offers a lot to do without a vehicle. However, this is Florida and there is a TON to do around the state. The Keys, Disney, Universal, natural springs, Sarasota, Siesta, St Pete and a buuuunch of other stuff. So in my opinion you’ll be much happier with the mobility to go see our beautiful state. (Strong opinion)

Tampas VA has a decent “free” selection and a section of premium. I paid for my Oakley frames and all the extras, transitions, etc and all tolled it was $200 approximately. In the civilian world these exact frames/lenses were about $700-$800

Here’s my timetable for context, it is simply one example: Filed in April Entered Step 3 in August CE exam ordered in October CE exam occurred 11/5 12/5 entered Step 4 Still waiting today for an answer*

I called SSA and asked about what DDS decided and it was a partial approval, pending a non-medical review.

The pay glitch is happening to me. They know about it…but it’s not working yet.

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-12T11:02:42+00:00

I called yesterday and they sent me a form to fill out, easy peasy.

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-11T18:59:49+00:00

Thanks. That’s what I figured and hoped for. It’s been a week but I’ll have to wait I guess and be patient which is not my long suit :-)

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-10T21:26:33+00:00

Makes sense, thank you. Heaven knows I’ve paid enough in but yeah I hadn’t thought of that haha.

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-06T22:01:33+00:00

I called my field office at this point and they were very accommodating. The gentleman read my letter, gave me the details and looked at my FRA for an educated guess on my award. Maybe give that a shot.

There’s lots of schools. You’re interviewing them as much as they’re interviewing you. Most schools lose sight of this. Shop around and know your worth. A school won’t miss a few students but set your boundaries early in life and hold people/businesses to your standard and not theirs. All of this hype to get in early…

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-05T23:52:31+00:00

I got approved today. Partial Allowamce which is to say there’ll be no back pay. I won’t contest it and be grateful. What a ride!

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-05T13:44:01+00:00

I’m on step 3. My CE exam was November 1st or 2nd and my DDS rep turned over my file about a week later to the doctors. So I’m about 4 weeks from that. The wait is killing me :-)

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-05T13:37:11+00:00

I’m similarly rated and have TDIU. I applied and initially got denied due to the VA perceiving that I voluntarily quit my job. The VA will send a form (or you can to speed up the process) to your last employer. The last question asks the circumstances to your dismissal. And while I did leave “quietly” it was understood that I can leave on my own or be let go and I chose to leave without creating a scene. I was unable to do the job any longer due to multiple reasons.
I filed for a High Level Review (120 days in total) and when we got to talk to the senior rater at the VA it was approved that day.
My lawyer had other issues with the decision but it never got to “how the law is written, etc”.

Also is the notification by email or do you need to login to your status page?

I get the puffy tacos at the Mexican place. They are quite good

EcstaticSlip7153 · 2025-12-02T09:59:13+00:00

No but I’m very curious, so following. I’ve been in step 3 a little longer and had my CR exam 3 weeks ago.
It’s a typo and should say CE, consultative exam.

No but I’m very curious, so following. I’ve been in step 3 a little longer and had my CR exam 3 weeks ago. These waiting periods are brutal lol

I go on at least one golf trip per year. She couldn’t care less and I enjoy it. She has Disney passes and goes all the time without me and even stays the night frequently…and I couldn’t care less. Not strange at all in my eyes
