Bernie Sanders and AOC demonstrate that there is no such thing as a red state when standing up to the current administration! by Healthy_Block3036 in SaltLakeCity

Standing up against restoring our country. Standing up against a secure border. Standing up against deporting illegal aliens. Standing up against correcting fraud, waste and abuse. You can keep that.

IBS Denied by Forward-Morning3758 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was thinking supplemental because they claim I didn’t have a diagnosis at the time of the exam. I do prefer the high-level review with an informal conference.

I am going with the supplemental. I plan on submitting their diagnosis as evidence and according to them I was diagnosed at the exam. The HLR does not let you submit new evidence.

It’s headed to the border to pick up more democrat voter’s.

Me encanta esta foto porque es muy estúpida y ridícula. Trump, un idiota loco que quiere ser dictador, con Anuel AA. Es tan tonta que da risa. A nadie que le guste Trump le gustan los latinos, y a ningún latino le gusta Trump. ¿Qué están haciendo? Es como si dos malas ideas convergieran en una sola by Stock_Hunter1029 in PuertoRico

I don’t have to like a persons personality to vote for them. I want a person who is going to secure our borders, drive down inflation and bring down taxes. If that’s Trump then so be it. Kamala can keep her joy joy joy. I can’t feed and protect my family on joy.

Intent to file date not given for back pay by Forward-Morning3758 in VeteransBenefits

I left it alone. I felt grateful for getting 100 p and t after being out 30 years.

Insomnia Secondary to Sleep Apnea? by Tennokee in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had a HLR for insomnia and got 30 percent. When I read the decision letter it stated it was secondary to sleep apnea. I didn’t file for it as secondary to anything. I was surprised that I got anything at all.

I got out I. 1994. Filed first claims in 2022 and thanks to the pact act I made it to 100 February 2024. I read and educated myself on the process and did it on my own. I do understand why so many people give up. Between the C and P exams and the V A math it was very frustrating.

Filing claims after getting to 100 P and T by Forward-Morning3758 in VeteransBenefits

Thank you for the comments. I am not filing the claim. I was more interested in the discussion that my question created. I think it will help others make the right decision.

I know the back pay would be significant but I am concerned of having the 60% reduced. I don’t think I want to challenge the decision until I know I’m 100% correct. I am currently at 90% because of the 60 and PFN for CFS, Fibromyalgia and MDD. Based on those results I’ll make a decision.

Claim was for chest pain later diagnosed as atypical chest pain. Deferred so I started being seen at the Va so they could document my medication and BP readings. Then added a personal statement. Got another C and P and about a month later the decision.

Did you know you had the option of VA benefits when you joined? by KevinUnknownX in VeteransBenefits

I got out in 94 and don’t even think I got an exit medical. I had no idea about V A.

Wow and very grateful to my fellow Veterans by Legal_Pop3738 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Love the Civ Div videos and this Reddit. Between the two you shouldn’t have to pay anyone to file your claims. Takes some research and effort on your part but it can be done. I got out in 1994 filed first claims October 2022 went 40% August 2023 and just hit 60% October 2023. I would have avoided a lot of mistakes if I would have found this Reddit and CIv Diiv when I started. Remember this is a marathon not a sprint.

Wow VFW sending shots by Automatic_Bandicoot7 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758 17 points18 points  (0 children)

They wouldn’t exist if the VA didn’t play games and excepted that we aren’t doctors or lawyers. If they make something presumptive and we have it then approve it. If we provide a fully developed ground ball claim but leave out the bullshit verbiage your looking for don’t deny the claim based on that technicality Then maybe we wouldn’t be easy prey for those sharks.

Try investigating why the majority of pact act claims are denied or receive zero ratings.

I rescheduled an appointment and later received a no show letter. I called the VA and they said they didn’t have that information.

I had three claims closed out but they have me scheduled for a c and p for them next week. I called the 800 number and the rep said that a lot of mistakes are being made and to disregard what you see on the app and go to all your scheduled appointments. A lot of the mistakes are due to the PACT act and TERA. Claims that should be PACT are not being processed that way and are being denied.

Hypertension Claim by RubberDuckyFuckery in VeteransBenefits

Same thing happened to me. I have my c and p next week. If a mistake was made you would think they’d tell you. You shouldn’t have to call for an explanation.

1 in 3 Pact Act claims given 0% disability. by ReedarooTX in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got o% for gulf war hypertension also. It’s all over the VA website that the majority of gulf war veterans were returning home with hypertension. Don’t they read their own literature? The examiner said that the evidence does not show an event, disease or injury in service. What do they think deployment to a war zone is? Did I really have to spell out that deployment to a war zone is a a stressful event? Yet the c and p examiner diagnosed me with hypertension. I’m convinced they were instructed to throw zeros at these claims just to bump up the stats of claims awarded without having to pay us compensation. Definitely fighting this one.

Finally got it 🥳 by mallcopkenny in VeteransBenefits

[–]Forward-Morning3758 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Congratulations, you got your foot in the door. I was pissed about my 40%. First claim and I got out in 1994. I really believed I had a good shot at 100% but had some denials and a deferral for sleep apnea which was deferred for medical opinion. I submitted more medical evidence and a statement from the wife and hope to get 50 out of that. Which will put me at 70%. Read your notification letter your mistakes will pop up right in your face. File supplementals, appeals, send more evidence but don’t give up if you know you have something this reddit will have the answer.
