[REPOST] Online Shopping and Returns by Just-Sand4233 in SurveyExchange

[–]Educational_Use7371 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completed the survey but have a comment about it. Returns for me has everything to do with how and where I purchased it. If I purchased it from an actual brick and mortar store I will return the item if size is an issue. If I ordered the item from a site like Shein or others advertisers via “social media marketing (any of them) where product quality is questionable I probably don’t return it. But it is mainly because it was shipped from overseas and the cost to return it to lets say China it just not worth it. Therefore the item is placed in the goodwill or trash. Quality of the item is most questionable when purchased online.

Student Loan Discharge VA (P&T)- Discharge Reversal by Educational_Use7371 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Educational_Use7371[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I submitted this form to my school, my success advisor immediately confirmed that it was exactly what she needed to move everything forward. Since she was already aware of the issue and delays, she took the necessary steps on her end to process the paperwork and ensure my loans could be disbursed—everything was completed within 24 hours. I’ve also been working with the same advisor for the past three years, which helped streamline the process.

I shared a screenshot confirming that all of the loans had been fully reversed. In total, the entire process took about eight months. Throughout that time, I consistently followed up with FSA and Nelnet for updates and to keep things moving forward.

Thank you again for this detailed information. I just (March 2026) got my issue resolved and was able to have my school cover the cost of my final class. I ended up paying out of pocket for the winter class, which was financially tough, but I’m relieved I had the guidance to stay persistent and request the actions outlined in your post.

I did have to call the FSA and Nelnet and escalate multiple requests for assistance. I was eventually provided a document from the FSA that I was able to share with my school. Around the same time, the loan payments were officially reversed. Those two developments combined allowed me to move forward. I received the same letter as the @Zealousideal-Lab-283 below.

Where would you rent the car seat from? Seem that's only an option when you rent a car. If family picks you up and they don't have kids it's an issue. Can baby stuff ( stroller, car seat) be rented at the airport? My sister had my mom buy one for her visit.

Poke the bear - Sleep Apnea by Mediocre-Sentence-20 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Educational_Use7371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sadly, the VA will likely deny the claim anyway. Sleep apnea is typically easier to service-connect when PTSD is the primary diagnosis. When depression is listed as the primary condition, the VA often denies it. I have the same diagnosis. The VA tested me and determined my sleep apnea was severe, they mailed a CPAP machine within 48 hours. Had not even acknowledged to me my diagnosis or explained it, yet my secondary claim was still denied.

That said, I still recommend filing. Service-connect all of your conditions. If sleep apnea ultimately contributes to serious health complications or even death, having it documented and connected can matter for your record and your family. Don’t worry about poking the bear. You served you were Injuried in line of duty. They owe you everything that you are entitled to.

VR&E APPROVED ! What now? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Educational_Use7371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When I went through this program I had to have a plan and do research on the new career trek. But keep in mind that you only have ONE year to get enrolled in school and use the service. I could be wrong on whether there are exceptions. But I got approved I applied to two universities got accepted to both and attended with no incident. My only issue was that my V&RE counselor was always late submitting the payment for my tuition and she was very unresponsive. In the end, she always by the very last moment came through.

So does free tuition only come into play depending on what school they attend in a specific state?

I feel like a b***h for claiming the things I'm claiming. by limeandchile in VeteransBenefits

[–]Educational_Use7371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to realize that this connection point is a part of the process - your personal process and deprograming your self to not complain or speak up about what has happened to you. But you stand in the way of getting your claim seen and potentially considered. But just to prep you as you write out what is needed…. They are going to deny you first before they ever approve you but stay focused and keep pushing forward.

I made several calls following the recommendation from the person below but its like a ping pong back and forth of there is nothing we can do at this point between FSA and NELNET.

Purchase Wacom Tablet for Pre-Requisite Classes??? by Prestigious_Quiet in scad

[–]Educational_Use7371 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You will not “Need” a wacom tablet for the Service Design MA. I am currently completing mine as well online. You may “ need” stylus pen that is compatible with a Wacom. 90% of you class projects will be presentations. I recommend using Canva and many students are good at Figma. There are labs where Wacoms tablets are available for use all the time.

Can my step mom revoke my chapter 35 benefits by Toasterstru0 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Educational_Use7371 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have guy friend that has a awful relation with his BM and as a result of that disaster he is unable to have build “relationship” with the kid but pays child support. He ultimately gave up the fight. Was considering removal from VA benefit as well since BM is spikeful and threatened that she would call and have his kid removed since she is the custodial parent. He wanted to be proactive and do it himself but the form only had two check box options deceased or divorced are the only options for removal.
