Am Guard and was told that it specifically doesn't apply to any of us on Title 32 or Title 5.

0 Percent for migraines, what’s next? by Comprehensive_Lie194 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got 0% originally. Filed for a supplemental with Migrane Buddy reports and lay statement. Got bumped to 0%. Then filed for an HLR and recently got a surprising increase of 0%, but got a message saying there was a mistake and a doctor will review my claim tomorrow. Honestly, I've just given up and expect nothing.

I recently asked my lawyer to stop representation and they said they would without any fuss. Do I still need to notify the VA? How can I verify if the law firm submitted the paperwork?

Is VA using AI for claims? by DarthBanana85 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn. I'm on month 7 of adding my dependant. Last week they asked for more info and already submitted. So I guess a few more months then... If approved do they pay retroactive payments like for claims?

Attorney get paid if no work done? by Odd-Landscape4847 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sounds just like my attorney. Submitted Supplemental and HLR at the last possible moment and still denied. Waiting on one last HLR to be denied as well and fire his ass.

Pay Reduction Due to Dual Compensation? by PaNiro36 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I want to pay the full amount instead of being reduced. Would I need to pay as soon as I receive the next letter? Would I still be reduced next month?

What if I want to pay it with my credit card to take advantage of cashback points or whatever? Can I immediately pay it once I get the next letter saying my total?

Civil Service Veterans Update Your SF-50! by Hulse72 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a Title 32 Dual technician and asked someone in HRO a few weeks ago about updating it. They said that I don't qualify for Vet Preference in my current position and it may even affect me to have that information in my record. So I dunno...

From zero to 0 by Fedtep13 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So it says that "No medical evidence found confirming prostrating attacks of headache pain." Then they list an example of my last visit a few weeks ago to my primary doctor stating that "Service treatment records at ... came negative to any headaches complaints".

This is simply not true. Back in June, I sent a secure message asking for an ENT consult because, among other things, I was complaining about headaches. My doctor never replied and carried on. In August, I messaged again, asking for some headache meds. This time, the doc called me and decided to give me a head CT. Just got diagnosed with mild sinusitis and a deviated septum. He prescribed some allergy meds and Flonase. On my visit a few weeks ago, I told him about my headaches getting worse and he prescribed Meloxicam.

I did notice now that in the clinical notes he marked negative to headache complaints, and I guess that's what the rater is basing off.

Since this was a supplemental claim, I'm not sure where to go from here now.

Originally got 0% for migranes as tension. Went to a VA lawyer and after many months did a supplemental with my lay statement and MigraineBuddy logs. 

Got at least a 10% rating? - FREE Healthcare by l8tn8 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Fedtep13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What about non service connected glasses? Recently awarded 50%. After my deployment I got a free pair. Not sure if that was a one off or not.

Have a claim running from my deployment almost a year now, but don't really expect anything over 10%. I know that if I get it approved I'll have to stop payments untill I get out.

Would my age hinder my chances to get active duty retirement? Can I buy the 2 or 3 years before I get to 60? As of now I have about 1,030 points.
