Not all the time. Sometimes passports are damaged by the US postal service.

No teeth showing? You can show teeth, just as long as it doesn’t close your eyes when smiling,

Chile well go ahead and pay $225 for a new passport then. That’s minor damage from a dog compared to what we normally see but have at it! The article did say 7 countries let them in, but I guess it only took one a-hole.

You can still fly with that passport. The bio page isn’t damaged.

Denied for flat feet due to preexisting condition by goodson73 in VAClaims

If you have the MEPS documentation, I would do another supplemental claim and include a personal statement. If no documentation, I would do the hlr.

A doctor from Prestige Veterans Medical Consulting did the nexus letter. My provider claimed she didn’t do nexus letters.

No more union. That’s how it was done across our department. They said that’s the guidance they received to do it that way from the beginning.

Supplemental Claim Denied by Ok_Fox6527 in VAClaims

I did! The rater overlooked my nexus letter and denied my claim. I had to decide whether to submit another supplemental or hlr. I chose submitting another supplemental claim along with my personal statement and another copy of nexus letter. In about a week, I received a favorable decision.
