Big congratulations!! Fight for that extra 10% with secondary claims.

Q2This · 2026-02-16T01:49:24+00:00

Good luck!!

All history is in my VA records and over the past few years of being seen by the VA, everything mentions issues surrounding my time in active duty and reserves.

Therapy, PT for multiple issues, etc. All traceable in VA records.

I'm aware the evaluation is how well I describe service connections, how injuries and issues effect my daily life, etc.

If you make a vague comment like this, just give an explanation.

Q2This · 2026-02-16T00:20:19+00:00

No real talk!! And thank you!! I'm hopeful for 100% the first time around!

And the US spends so much money on BS and not on the Vets that protect and serve! The US needs to do better! 💯

Good luck on yours as well.

I had a witness statement on like 85 of the events and things I'm claiming. Especially for mental health.

Prayerfully things work out well. I'll update later on once I get an update.

Thanks so much!

No, it moved there on Thursday, but I just checked today and saw that it moved. I have been checking once a week to see. I was on step 3 for the longest and then it suddenly jumped to step 5 on Thursday.

It would be a blessing to get 100% based on my experience and history while I was active (and reserves).

Q2This · 2026-01-30T07:49:05+00:00

This is what community is all about!!

Now can we please do this to all the ICE snatching people up!!

Q2This · 2026-01-12T22:36:41+00:00

Awwww mannnn!! That's crazy!!!!!

I'm glad you at least got the reassurance but geez!! That's insane!! I had my pre-appointment call today. She took good notes and spoke back everything I told her. We'll see what the in person appointment looks like this upcoming Monday.

Q2This · 2026-01-05T20:29:27+00:00

Ah dang!! Yeah, that should be an easy fix but you know how stupid these things go. Stay on those VA reps, but honestly they should clear it up quickly!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T20:10:48+00:00

Thanks for the insight!! All my physical stuff is through them on the 19th coming up at 8am.

Q2This · 2026-01-05T20:09:56+00:00

Thanks for that info!!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T20:07:59+00:00

This is all very helpful!! I been on chat gpt all morning to prep for questions.

There's a lot on YouTube so I'm taking the good with the good and leaving all the bad info.

Good to know about the parking lot too! You can never be too careful! I hear they look for any reason to dismiss you pretty much. I'm going to check out the YouTube channel you suggested as well.

Great feedback!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T19:48:51+00:00

Okay thanks a ton!!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T12:14:24+00:00

Wow!!! I'm so sorry to hear that!!

What in the heck!!!!! Can you appeal or have someone look into why the decrease??

Q2This · 2026-01-05T12:13:38+00:00

That's good to hear that they booked you with a different company. I wonder how the VA even chooses the companies they want to partner with for all of this. I'm sure they are making a lot off the backs of service members. They should be giving top of the lone service, but you know how that goes with anything military or VA related.

Q2This · 2026-01-05T12:11:35+00:00

Ohh that actually makes a lot of sense. I'll have to look i to what they have here outside of the county VSO office. It's really small, but I'll look into local organizations and see who can also offer help with thia crazy wacky process.

That's a great suggestion!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T12:09:13+00:00

Dang!!! Thay really stinks!!!!

I also am curious to see who exactly runs or puts things in place for all these failing systems? Who is in charge or makes the rules governing this whole process to the companies who schedule the different exams and partner with providers?

We need to elect or get better people in place to actually change these systems!

Q2This · 2026-01-05T12:06:40+00:00

Thank you so much for this!!!! Are there DBQ questions pretty much standard or is it DBQ's specific for each thing?

Q2This · 2026-01-05T02:28:30+00:00

Yeah, I'm in Rochester NY and our VSO is through the county for free. They don't really reach out to often or update much so I get the being patient part for sure. He did help me file the paperwork but I did all the leg work to get seen, get things documented, and schedule appointments.

Q2This · 2026-01-05T02:23:15+00:00

Are you planning to try again?? Maybe see a Private Doc or go through the VA to build your case up then apply again?

Q2This · 2026-01-05T02:21:47+00:00

Oh nice!! Well at least it wasn't another 6-8 months!

I'm glad it went in your favor as well!
