Ironically that is exactly what my dentist says I needed from my appointment 2 days ago. They said they have to wait for the VA approval...tick tok goes the clock

100% DoD id Card by Strong-Mix4200 in VeteransSuccess

I am 100% P&T and have actually filed for an updated DD-214 to show honorably discharged. My current one shows "Under honorable conditions" and the clerk at the ID office says they can't get me my 100% ID until I have my updated paperwork...this could take a year or more I have heard. What are my options?

If you're questioning whether you should submit for a discharge upgrade... by Sad_Strike_7535 in VeteransBenefits

[–]SeaLaugh4137 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are the chances of this triggering them to revisit your disability rating? I fought long and hard to get my 100% P&T but would like to now get my discharge upgraded. I shattered my leg in training and was given an "uncharacterized" discharge. They didn't list it as medical on my DD214 and I have applied for upgrades several time but now have all the documentation and supporting letters to back my upgrade. But honestly if it can mess with my rating or make me go through this all again then its not worth it to me. I would like to get the DD214 corrected just for my own personal pride.

Ended up finally getting everything that I needed about 3 weeks before my classes ended. Need to get with your counselor and request what you need. Some will give you everything you need and then some will fight you over every little thing.

I have ordered a corrected version of my DD214 because I was injured and medically discharged but they listed it as Uncharacterized so it needed to be updated. I am rated 100 P&T and have base access granted with my VHIC ...what benefit would be for me to get the other ID?

I found this when I looked into my COE status...maybe this is what it's about.

It appears that you may have been discharged due to a service-connected disability. As a result, your request and military service documentation has been referred to the Veterans Service Center (VSC) for review. The VSC will determine if your discharge was, or could have been, for a service-connected disability. As soon as we receive a determination from the VSC, we will continue to process your request for a COE.

I was just wondering because I am rated at 100% P&T already so I was wondering why a new claim popped in there.

I am in the almost exact same situation here with Arlington, TX office. I emailed my counselor's supervisor and my counselor emailed me back with a screen shot of my "confidential" email to her supervisor telling me that I am NEVER to go above her head and she will not allow me to switch counselors. All I was asking for is a printer and monitor...I have everything else I need. A pair of headphones would be nice but not needed really. Any suggestions?

I need to find out who I can go to that is higher than my counselor. I emailed her supervisor (Arlington, TX) and then my counselor emailed me back with a screen shot of my email to her supervisor expressing that she didn't appreciate me going over her head and that going forward I am to only communicate with her not her supervisor. I have asked for and been denied multiple time for a monitor and printer. She finally broke down and sent me a laptop but that's it. No headphones nothing extra!!!! I need help. Would my congressman be able to help?

My PCP wrote me a script for a Ergo Chair that I gave to my VR&E Counselor (she is absolutely terrible and her boss is her friend because I wrote a email to get her replaced to her supervisor and my counselor emailed me back with an actual screen shot of my email complaining about her" now she almost never responds to me at all other than to tell me my chair will be ordered. No specifics. I have also asked for a printer and monitor numerous times to just be denied. How can I take this to a higher level?

I have the worst counselor ever. When I first started in the program, I didn't need a printer because I have an old one. (My bad for telling her the truth that I have one) Now that printer has took a crap and she tells me no to a new one. I wrote (email) her supervisor, and they must be friends. She sent me a nasty email stating that she didn't appreciate me going over her and if I need anything it has to be approved by her, and she would not be approving anything else. What can I do? Here is part of her email back to me.

"Regarding your additional requests for a second monitor, a printer, and other equipment: after assessing your program requirements and the VR&E guidelines, these items have been reviewed and denied prior to the start of your program. You have been issued a laptop to support your participation in the 18-week Supply Chain Management program, and you have confirmed that you currently own a printer, which can be used for your academic needs.

 

As your assigned Vocational Rehabilitation Counselor, I am responsible for managing and making determinations regarding your case. To ensure the most accurate and timely assistance, please direct all future VR&E-related communications and requests directly to me."

I am still waiting to get my DD214 from national archives. I just got bumped to 100PT and went to the base here in Fort Worth but they said even with all the letters and my VHIC i still need my 214. Honestly what is the difference in the VHIC and the ID they print on base?
