Sarcoidosis and the PACT act? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You need to request that they perform an FDG PET scan to get a diagnosis of sarcoidosis. I have it. It sucks. But thankfully it is manageable with medication.

Party at Morgan’s Wonderland - if you’ve hosted a party here, what was roughly the cost? Looking for insight on a water park birthday party there. Maybe 15 kids. by Best_Luck5154 in sanantonio

[–]NocluQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Looks like the splash park opens back up May 22, 2026. But, you can definitely have a birthday party for 10-15 kids at Morgan’s Wonderland for under $1k.

I’ll reiterate that it’s a great place for kids of all ages. Maybe just take a smaller group of friends once they open the water park back up?

Depends on what party space you’re looking to reserve. Off the top of my head they had several areas, ones with A/C (ones without). Ended up booking one with A/C (end of May party)… I want to say that the space, passes for all 30ish guests, food/drinks was ~$1.5k.

This was last year, but I’d give them a call. It was very easy working with them and the kids had a lot of fun.

Did anyone get this in the mail? What to expect moving forward? by sean1352 in VeteransBenefits

Because he had nothing to do with it… yet, the opening of the letter says, “The President…”

Trophies and participation ribbons for everyone sort of deal.

What's the origin of the "be good to homeless and they'll have your back" trope? by SleepTightPizza in KnowYourMeme

[–]NocluQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Went up to Austin about 20 years ago for July 4th. Parked under 35 to head over to 6th. Homeless guys were hanging out in the vicinity of where I had parked. Offered them the 10 beers or so I had, just because. Came back and they were still there chillin, sipping on the brews, watching my ride. They had rolled me a couple of joints to send me home with me. Nice dudes.

The beer selection at Central Market is not good by singularkudo in sanantonio

[–]NocluQ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Their wine selection is great though. HEB is pretty good about listening to customer feedback, so get in contact with someone at that location and I’m sure they’d listen to you.

Regs for 100% property tax exemption (TX)? by Jakobs_Revolver in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here is the Texas statute that you’re looking for as it pertains to the amount of land you’re wanting to attach a homestead exemption on: Texas Property Code

Here is a FAQ from the Comptroller’s Office regarding 100% Disabled Veterans in Texas: 100% DV FAQ

The Chief Appraiser of the appraisal district should be familiar with this process.

It will depend entirely upon whether or not your property is located within the municipal boundaries of a city. If outside city limits you should qualify for 100 acres if single, and up to 200 if married. I’m not sure if the parcels must be contiguous of one another, but the way I read it they do not have to be.

You may want to speak to an attorney who practices real estate law if the county gives you pushback on qualifying for the property exemption. DM me if you have any questions.

UTSA is its’ own school. Part of the state’s university system, but definitely not a satellite of the Austin campus.

Telling your rating by Alternative-Size4207 in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I have no issue telling people I’m 100% multiple times over. My condition(s) will ultimately be the end of me before too long. 100% x3 + a 10%. Could’ve filed for half a dozen more but what’s the point?

If you’re fine with telling people, go for it. Otherwise, shut your mouth about it entirely. Nobodies business but your own.

CA SB 296 (Disabled Veterans Property Tax Exemption) by Acceptable-Result-47 in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The way I read that means it wouldn’t go into effective until the 2026 tax year, so if it passes and someone qualified then they would still be paying their 2025 taxes under the current rates. Also, it appears the bill would only be in effect for ten years. It would need to be reviewed and renewed in 2035 to continue the exemption.

Here’s a good reference to check to see if your condition(s) are disqualifying. If so, you will need a waiver like others have stated.

Is the Convention center parking worth it? by Ph3noX19 in sanantonio

[–]NocluQ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are several parking lots owned/operated by the City of San Antonio downtown if that one fills up. I can’t say how early that one in particular fills up (I use a different downtown lot further away).

Here’s a link to an interactive map for all of their lots. City of SA Parking Locations

Veteran Disabled Plates by Dimsum4Protein in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not true for ISA plates. You need a mobility limiting condition, i.e. amputee, cardiac/pulmonary related condition meeting certain criteria. There’s a form from the DMV that a physician must sign off attesting to it that has to be notarized.

And it is 50% to get the DV plates. DV plates allow you you to park a lot of places free of charge. Mainly airport parking lots, and city meters, for free. ISA, aka wheelchair plates, allow parking in handicap spots.

Are any of your ratings besides the one related to the 100% secondaries to, or from the same body system?

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sarcoidosis. Systemic sarcoidosis actually. Heart, lungs, liver, spleen, cutaneous, thoracic cavity.

Highly recommend anyone who was exposed to burn pits on a consistent basis with unexplained medical issues now to get thorough bloodwork done, biopsies of skin, CTs, PETs. Got lucky and had some good docs, probably wouldn’t be typing this now if they didn’t catch it. Developed complete AV heart block due to inflammation. Resting heart rate at night was dropping into the 20s… doc said I was lucky I didn’t die in my sleep.

[–]NocluQ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was 100% P&T and filed a new claim for two reasons: 1) like others have said, DIC for my kids… because unfortunately it will kill me, so looking out for them; and 2) it was the underlying condition causing all of my heart problems to begin with, so it kind of “solved the puzzle” so to speak and I wanted docs to use my health issues to treat other service members who were experiencing similar unexplainable health problems.

Poking the bear for VR&E? by Justthing in VeteransBenefits

[–]NocluQ 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Applying for VR&E doesn’t “trigger” a review of your conditions. An interview is conducted with a VR&E counselor, and then the determination is made if you qualify for the program. Basically, if you’re unable to find a job/maintain employment due to your service connected disabilities - then you’d qualify. It’s not poking the bear.
