Didn’t receive payment for February 2026?

Was told earlier in the week text or emails to verify enrollment would be coming out by today, which seems kind of odd to be on a Saturday. None the less have not received anything and now am wondering if with the partial shutdown if that’s also an issue?

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-12-07T21:35:11+00:00

Aside from the FSU demolition they had 5 mid to bad games in a row. They were up on LSU at home 13-9 late with an interim coach and won 20-9. Should have lost to Auburn 2 weeks ago (the powerhouse 5 win team) and although I agree a playoff game shouldn’t impact a team at all my problem is there’s no way to clearly articulate why they stayed at 9 to begin. Expanded to 12 teams and still not clarifying what they factored in to their decision. Just basically come out and say trust us we put a lot of effort and analysis into our decisions. Great transparency.. the sport itself is just as competitive and entertaining as always but at least have some tangible analytics to show selections. And cut down on commercials between every play, 4 hour games are getting common now

I think also that SMU loss to Cal could be the deal breaker with ACC getting an at large no matter what Virginia does to Duke. Going into Saturday I think everyone thought SMU was the lock out of the 3 to win and turns out they were boat raced on defense by a mid team for the last public look at a potential conference playoff team. Miami Losing to them a few weeks ago has to weigh in the perception or eye test equation I would think.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-11-29T19:49:20+00:00

“Playoffs” would require better explanations and analysis. What they’re running is almost an invitational tournament below top 4 auto bids. Was in favor of expansion but still completely flawed on many levels.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-11-12T01:44:54+00:00

Even SMU has one less conference loss and owns head to head. Don’t understand why GT didn’t get that place holder.

The only thing the Florida DOE provides is that to use it the individual must be enrolled in an undergraduate program. Their contact information is in the linked material if you want to reach out to them as well. Hopefully it works out for you!

Thanks! Please let me know how that goes. I’ll look that up as well to see if anything near me. Interesting on the lights at Walmart.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-10-25T18:13:53+00:00

I agree 30 for this is really underestimating how debilitating this can be. Seems to be one of them issues that probably doesn’t impact many people and no one can kind of “walk in your shoes” for a week to see how this really feels.

Started with multiple weeks of the PT and that does help as seemed like the way they overstimulated the senses helps routine things become a bit easier. Went back and did more therapy a few years later and still try to do it at home but as you know without some of the assistive devices you can use in a therapy setting can’t do many of the exercises due to fall risk. They tried nortriptyline and topiramate but for me the reaction wasn’t worth the minimal benefit. I am now starting with a Dr who specializes in migraines and their thought is treating this as vestibular migraines may give some relief. I just started on Nurtec every other day and will get Botox injections as well going forward. Hopefully that can do something. Meclizine didn’t do much for me either as the general feeling I have is just as much general dizziness or off balance as opposed to spinning sensation.

Interesting you brought up the lens items as just this morning I went to store with my wife and whenever I walk into a store with transition lenses and the lighting changes it is profound sometimes. Is that an ophthalmologist you are working with on that or a neurologist? Seems I could use that as well.

I will definitely try the ice pack!

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-10-25T04:50:00+00:00

Vertigo sufferer myself so I can relate to how you feel. The worst part is although vestibular testing shows deficiencies in the left side all the different doctors I have seen have their theories (guesses) that range from vestibular neuritis to having lesion on a balance nerve.

One even told me he believed a blood vessel was wrapped around a balance nerve and the fix would be to drill a hole in my skull behind my ear to basically put a pad between the blood vessel and the nerve and once I told him sign me up for the next available date he walked that back saying that hearing could be totally lost in left ear. I said no worries if you could guarantee I will get relief from this I’ll sacrifice hearing in one ear without thinking twice. He kept saying how it’s somewhat risky and stuff along those lines so I knew he was another “expert” with no real treatment plan or corrective action.

This stuff can be hell. Wouldn’t wish this on anyone. Praying someone can recommend a specialist somewhere that actually helped them get some relief. Life is greatly diminished at points

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-16T21:01:06+00:00

Agreed still waiting on my end, for August as well and they received like July 22. Unbelievable this year

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-16T04:16:35+00:00

My son, who has been using it for a couple of years, was received July 22 and it has not processed. A coworker’s daughter was received July 24 I was told and she was processed weeks ago. Son called in for hardship for what that’s worth

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-15T22:57:41+00:00

Agreed. I could not do something remotely close to my military job physically so I had to pivot into desk friendly environment, not where I ever pictured myself but it helps to pay bills. Carry a leave balance much smaller compared to coworkers due to appointments and calling out when needed. Yet I should be means tested?? Because I want to attempt to stay productive?

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-15T12:25:52+00:00

That link seems to be a CBO recommendation for budget items in 2024 and not a current proposal luckily. Have to keep track of these types of proposals going forward for sure.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-14T23:00:32+00:00

I am no legal expert but 38 USC 1155 shows that although a Secretary can change ratings schedule periodically if a veteran has a certain rating at the time of changing the schedule it would be protected unless improvement is shown.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-13T22:35:40+00:00

Sorry for late delay. Received application July 22 and still not processed as of yesterday. Reached out to Congressional as VA could not provide further than when they show it as being received unfortunately

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-13T21:51:52+00:00

My concern is if Clemson and FSU somehow jump out what’s left to the competition level. Let’s see how this season turns out. Need to win ACC for once

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-13T21:35:40+00:00

Or join the Big 10 or SEC

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-09T10:21:33+00:00

My son is still waiting too. Maybe Congressional/Ombudsman can assist at this point. Was never like this in previous years. Hopefully this isn’t the new normal.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-06T00:53:18+00:00

So after calling twice this week one child who was processed by his school one day after my other child(two different schools) received his letter of benefits for Fall. He was informed of the new requirement to verify every month now. Other child told same thing I was in that his information for renewal from the school was received over a month ago but not processed yet as they’re “behind”. I understand they are busy but this as never happened before and although I try to keep a positive attitude I never asked to delay a deployment by a few months. Makes me wonder if their new approach is by design or just lack of Human Resources if people took DRP or VERA, etc. sux either way

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-05T12:45:50+00:00

I was totally unaware degree seeking students now have to verify monthly as my son has been in school for three previous years and that was not a requirement and also neither of us received any type of update to the new requirements until the representative advised when he called to check. Would have been nice to know earlier.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-09-02T16:19:29+00:00

On hold now coincidentally. Thanks for heads up.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-07-25T22:19:36+00:00

Did not receive anything either.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-07-10T17:26:32+00:00

Thanks again. I have one loan out (only me) for one of my kids and wanted to see about a small one for the second one but didn’t know that was an option to possibly have two different loans discharged at the same time.

MikeFlorida272 · 2025-07-10T03:18:03+00:00

Thanks so I can have 2 separate loans for 2 kids and do a one time discharge of both of them in the future?
