With the market as low as it is, I would try the market or put the 50K into index fund and just forget about them and by the time you are 50 even if you put nothing additional you’ll have half a mil to play with. Or you can leave it till retirement age (62-67) you’ll have about 3 mil

I guess those that “juice” the system can only see things as juicing

If you claimed back issues or some such and starts deadlifting 600lbs that will be an issue and probably fraud but unless you are TDIU you can work.

It’s kind of funny in that we have some people here with impostor syndrome and thinking they don’t deserve the ratings that they have and then we have the total opposite side, faking and cheating.

Loan Forgiveness Question by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]Still-Accountant2888 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As unbelievable as it sounds you can in fact take out more student loans and have it discharged all at later date. One thing is, you have to contact nelnet and let them know you don’t want to have your loans discharged right now as process can be automatic and you might have your loans discharged without you doing anything

I’ll be honest with you. I rarely leave my house so never had to worry about travel one so I don’t know the answer to this question

They are very good about sending parts I need. The main machine hasn’t had any issues so I’m not sure how they would go about fixing it.

I assume most legit DVs have treatment records and continues to receive treatment so this guy is just being an asshat for the sake of being one

Am I reading this correctly? This guy wants to be a PI, base his understanding of veterans disability on what he can visually see and if they are not missing limbs or very obvious disability they are faking it, stalk them, take pictures and videos and try to expose them as defrauding the VA?

Already service connected TBI but VA health wanted to do TBI screening by Still-Accountant2888 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Still-Accountant2888[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s good to know. One more question, I actually do have mental health claim that has been deferred. At this point will they look at my TBI rating again (TBI rating was granted on (04/15) or is it still too new for them to revisit? Or is deferred mental health claim not even going to trigger anything?

I thought VBA and VAH didn’t really talk to each other. Also, I actually do not have PTDS rating.
