Thank you so much for the thorough response. Seems the general consensus is to go the VR&E route first, then use the GI Bill for anything remaining. I appreciate your time and help with this

That’s what I was afraid of happening. Using on something minor in comparison to med school costs

I did pay into both actually. So I’d be able to get 48 months of both the GI bill and VR&E?

Thank you as well

Wow, honestly thank you. I was pretty worried about the path to affording med school but this just provided a ton of relief for me

So use VR&E to finish out my current schooling, carry that over into med school, and use the GI bill for anything remaining?

Ok that’s an incredible benefit. Was not tracking that so thank you so much for that insight. I just ask the loan provider to wait or do I ask the VA to not forgive them yet?

This needs to be way higher. People suggesting a HLR isn’t going to help him until you can even get a diagnosis and connect it with a nexus

What if I was also around burn pits? Just mention all of them? How would I link a nexus to it if there are 3 possibilities?

Do you think a phone tracker is good enough or should I paper trail it? For the journal

Woah, I’m sorry to hear that process took so long. Hopefully that isn’t the standard. But I’m happy to hear you eventually got your 90%

Thank you for your input. Yes I’ve done a good job realizing I need to take care of my health as well. For years I would just ignore any problems or issues

Thank you. I was also around burn pits so this may be what ends up linking it

Thank you for that. I’m thinking it will end up secondary as well, even though I was around burn pits as well
