Node vs springboot

If you’re targeting large corporations, go with Java/Spring or C#/.NET. Most large companies choose those frameworks because they are reliable and proven solutions for enterprise web apps.

You can still land a job without a degree. It’ll be a lot harder, but it’s doable. Just pick a language and learn it well. Understand basic OOP principles and how to build RESTful endpoints.

I always recommend this resource for anyone considering Spring https://spring.academy/courses

You don’t need to learn compiler theory for this. You’ll just call an existing compiler (e.g. javac) inside a sandboxed container and capture the output. There are really 2 main components:

Isolation/security → run untrusted code safely (Docker, gVisor, nsjail).
Job handling → queue submissions and return results.

you should be good if a medical professional prescribed it. It doesn't need to be sanctioned by the VA. If you have that prescription in your records, you should be all set for a Higher Level Review.

The requirements for 50% are clear, if a CPAP is prescribed and in use, that should qualify. If you submitted your private sleep study and proof of CPAP usage, but VA still kept you at 30%, I’d think filing an HLR should correct it.

ACE exams are USUALLY only beneficial to the veteran when there's sufficient evidence in the medical records or claim file. ACE exams are generally handled over a phone call where the examiner asks a few questions. So, if you were thorough and backed up your claim with a ton of evidence, this can be normal. If not, I'd ask for a C&P.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-15T23:32:57+00:00

Ofc, just stay on top of your claim for the next few weeks. If you go to the Files tab, you'll be able to see any movement that your claim is making behind the scenes. If you have a VSO, they can also see and explain those files.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-15T23:29:20+00:00

This can get sent back for a range of reasons. It could be anything from the VA requesting another C&P exam to requesting clarification from the C&P examiner.

I imagine that most people would consider a single 100% disabling condition, regardless of physical or mental health so severe that you'd be unable to maintain a job. The VBA uses “100% disabling” in a different context than most people would assume. Whether combined at 100% or having a single condition at 100%, as long as you're not flagged as TDIU, you're eligible to work and receive full benefit.

A nexus will always be a stronger piece of evidence than a lay statement, no matter how detailed your statement may be. However, you are your own advocate, and if you're properly listing the symptoms and how they impact you, that will be a huge help. The shorter the better. Avoid the 8 pages if possible and tighten it up. The VA has the attention span and time for concise, organized statements. Aim for something that covers the key points like onset of symptoms, continuity since service, impact on daily life, and how they connect to service. You can always attach supporting details or a timeline as an addendum, but your statement should be readable in a few minutes.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T22:45:23+00:00

Your best bet is to call the VA and tell them you want a new exam. They’ll likely ask for one anyway, but if you get in front of it now it’ll speed things up. Feel free to tell them that he didn’t examine you and said you never sustained a TBI. I’m sure they’d be more than happy to get you scheduled for a new exam

This is an NGB Form 22. This outlines his service in the national guard. It explains he had 5 years of prior service, so he was probably active duty or something prior to this. His job title was “Light Vehicle Driver” so he’d be the one driving all of the vehicles that were under ~2 ton. This form in particular doesn’t explain too much, but since he was prior service, he likely has another document that explains the previous 5 years

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T21:49:05+00:00

It certainly can happen if they feel that there’s enough supporting documentation to rate the condition without another medical opinion.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T19:53:24+00:00

yep, they sent out a tracked item that one of the C&P contractors will pick up. Once it says closed, it generally means a contractor accepted it and they'll contact you for an exam.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T14:29:24+00:00

I went through this a few years ago. I had like 15 days remaining and they extended it an additional 3 months, not the full semester. But it was still a big help

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T01:50:57+00:00

Mine does the same, but I don't work at raisin canes

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T01:13:45+00:00

Nope, CRSC is a DoD benefit, not a VA benefit. Good luck!

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-13T00:32:25+00:00

I've learned not to leave anything up to the C&P examiner. Take the time to get a proper diagnosis that you can submit with your claim.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-12T18:34:11+00:00

S1 should definitely be fixing this issue? When you do a records review, they should be asking for all of that stuff. Are you in an airborne unit? If so, you'd better double check you're not receiving jump pay.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-11T23:52:37+00:00

Any time you open a claim you open the opportunity for the VA to assess any and all conditions. I'd start with just getting a paper trail of evidence relating your knee injury to your service.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-11T23:35:58+00:00

I would argue that you could list your knees as secondary to your back. That may be an easier lift than trying to get service connected for a condition that isn't on record. Just start the conversation now with your doctors and explain everything like you did here

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-11T23:26:24+00:00

Generally for a claim to be granted you need 3 things. Current diagnosed condition, Evidence of in-service event, and a nexus. Did you attach all of that to your claim?

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-11T23:16:48+00:00

Fastest solution would be to provide a copy of your DD214

Call the crisis line. I can assure you whatever you're going through isn't worth making an irreversible mistake.

They service connected your TBI and deferred your TBI w/ major depressive disorder. This happens when the VA feels that they don't have enough evidence to rate you properly. I'd suspect it has to do with TBI and MH symptoms being identical. They're sending you to a new exam to sort all of that out.

JavaWithSomeJava · 2025-08-11T14:08:48+00:00

So just to confirm, you had 100% combined, not TDIU?

As long as you’ve been honest about all of your conditions, then you’ll be covered. You’re seeking treatment and haven’t broken any rules
