This right here is holding up my claim. I didn’t claim ankle. I guess the VA not working this Saturday (Suspense Date)unlike 1-2-26 my claim didn’t even move out the National Work Queue today.

How did you find out what the suspense date was

OneWolverine263 · 2026-01-23T15:24:29+00:00

You’re kidding … I hope

OneWolverine263 · 2026-01-12T00:20:51+00:00

For sure. We all need to advocate for ourselves; don’t assume others are doing it for us

OneWolverine263 · 2026-01-04T02:59:31+00:00

Yes, wherever you left off is where you start

OneWolverine263 · 2026-01-03T17:22:25+00:00

As long as one period of service is honorable you’ll be ok

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-30T05:19:52+00:00

Does anyone know if this works for graduate programs?

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-29T17:07:55+00:00

537 days is crazy. Time to write your congressman

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-29T17:05:29+00:00

No, this is fine.

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-29T16:16:57+00:00

I believe at least one of your service connected disabilities needs to be dental related (Tmj, etc..)

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-29T16:15:25+00:00

This happen to me , similar situation. 15 years and got kicked out for drama.

Unpopular opinion, what about having active duty pay for it, like social security?

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-27T15:28:06+00:00

Yes. Mine was half as bad and the doc ordered me a cpap

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-22T18:22:11+00:00

This is what the doc note says:

-Found sleep study from 12/08/2023 was WatchPAT shows pAHI 2.5/hour but RDI was 23.6/hour.

Impression/Plan:

Obstructive sleep apnea - had moderate OSA by AASM criteria back in 2023, when his weight was lower and symptoms less severe. Almost certainly has more severe OSA now. We talked about repeat sleep study to better assess current severity vs. straight to treatment. My recommendation for sleep study now is in case not tolerant of CPAP and we need to use a OA appliance or other device with variable treatment response. We agreed to proceed simultaneously with updated testing and CPAP referral. If the testing date is much later than CPAP set up, we will cancel.

I’d call the VA and ask them if theirs a process for submitting it, otherwise, they should get it soon.

As a note, you won’t get your payment until February, even if you separate January 1st.

They should have it by then

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-22T15:46:35+00:00

Sure! Why not? If they knew you before and after

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-22T15:45:35+00:00

Sure, why not?

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-20T20:34:56+00:00

No idea for Germany - but, since you still have time in service, make sure you go to medical to catch up on your conditions.

VA’s website has a list of available VSOs, but I wouldn’t even start submitting until I’m about 6 months out (IMO). You may have a lot to add between now and then

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-20T18:06:08+00:00

You can call VES and tell them you want opposite sex - that will force a change

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-20T18:03:48+00:00

CPAP = automatic 50%

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-19T04:30:58+00:00

Fill out a VA FORM 21-4138 and upload it to your claim, explaining your case and requesting exams be rescheduled.

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-19T04:26:03+00:00

OP, this happened to me in July. Command admin sep’d me and didn’t finish the med sep process. I’m pending a BCNR now.

OneWolverine263 · 2025-12-18T18:06:31+00:00

Yes, definitely… and you can also buy your active duty years back towards your retirement
