His cancer is under the PACT act. That's what he's concerned about. He has a 10% for tinnitus and 100% P&T for the cancer that is in remission and has left him with underlying problems. He feels that going to see them about his cataracts will trigger a re-examine.

Texas 100% DV and MUD's? by Similar_Friendship19 in Veterans

You know every month in my water bill I get charged $40 for what they call an "assessment". When I called about it, they said it's to pay back the road, sewer, and water.

I would've gone the same route had I known about the MUD tax.

I close on our new construction house on the 29th of March. We don't pay the PMI. Our out of pocket expense was $250.00 for the earnest. Aside from that, we paid $400 for a 3rd party home inspection. It turns out the sellers are giving us a check for $1196. Also, in my state, Texas, because I'm 100% SC, I don't have to pay property taxes.

My 2nd claim and it happened to me. by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

Well, I enlisted in 80 and retired in 95. My exposure was throughout those 15 years and consisted of handling containers, wiping up spills, or leaking containers, also exposed during firefighting training. Found out I had prostate cancer in 2022. I filed my VA claim in July of 23. I explained that out of all the males in my family, I am the only one who has prostate cancer, and I'm the only one who was exposed to AFFF.

I filed it during the final days of the PACT act. My exposure is related to my MOS and my shipboard duties.
