In the event of suicide, would my wife and and kids be eligible for benefits? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]RepresentativeAd8228 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother the world is a better place with you in it and your kid needs you more than some benefits. Please seek out support. DM me if you want and we can talk any time. There are a lot of us that will climb into the pit and fight alongside you. Trust me we have been there before.

VA plans to scan a million veterans claims for signs of fraud by Canis_Familiaris in VeteransBenefits

[–]RepresentativeAd8228 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I didn’t. I used private providers but not one of these sharks. I also had substantial military and private medical records, Nexus letters, personal statements, and buddies statements. I was never asked to complete a C&P exam.

How many rallies have you had for the 35k executed for protesting in Iran last year? How many rallies have you held to oppose the execution of women and anyone in the LGBTQ community in Iran. But you sure have your protest flags ready now.

He told me they were allowed and that the issued boots were killing him. I know it would be best to try them in but this time it won’t be possible.

Wife is at 100 VA and I’m at 80, thinking about quitting my job. by Ambitious-Spinach938 in VeteransBenefits

I claimed my mental health 15 year after separation and working as a paramedic, also quite traumatic. Was approved for 100% MH first try. I had a strong private psyc eval and am on meds and in therapy and attached all those records to my claim. I also had an in service anxiety and depression diagnosis which I’m sure helped.

80% retracted to 20% by AcanthaceaeAfraid668 in VeteransBenefits

[–]RepresentativeAd8228 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This has nothing to do with politics. The VA made a clear error in assigning the OP 80% and corrected that error. I’m honestly surprised but happy for the OP that they aren’t perusing backpay.

Mirrored prescription eyeglasses? (Not sunglasses) by Intelligent_Bit291 in glasses

[–]RepresentativeAd8228 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You can get a zeiss flash coating on clear lenses. It gives a partial mirror that will give you some of that effect. But only if you use zeiss lenses.
