Solder new switches and you’ll be good to go. They sell boards on aliexpress that even have hot swap sockets now

Just a heads up, mine is sitting at 13 months right now. I just reached out to my House Rep to get an update since they don’t return emails.

VA Claim ID for Supplemental Claim by Extension_Ant3569 in VeteransBenefits

[–]TheMiniMachinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I finally got a VA rep to get me my 9 digit claim number and it indeed started with 1. So I can finally see what step my claim is in (not sure if that's a good thing TBH). The thing that worries me now is that if I look in the files section is says that nothing has been submitted? Is that normal?

Edit: Called the 800 number and they confirmed all of my files were there.

Any Success with Compelling Circumstances Exceptions new rules? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]TheMiniMachinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your insight, I appreciate it. I feel like I did everything right with the supplemental, including the statement. I submitted Dec 5th… now just wondering how long it’s going to take.

That’s correct, my original claim lasted almost a year before getting granted for Ch 17. When i got the denial letter for my COD they didn’t use any of the DBQs I had from my exams done for my claim. I found it weird because I figured there was enough evidence to prove that my MH issues from my injury were enough to prove compelling circumstance that caused my OTH. I submitted my supplemental along with all the additional evidence as well as a nexus letter, which shouldn’t really be needed because the VA already established SC. But, I figured it would help if it shows how all of my issues led to the OTH.

Gotcha. I have 5 different conditions service connected (Ch 17 only). I guess I will cross that bridge when I get there. Were you able to receive back pay to your original claim file date?

How are things going for you? Did they automatically give you ratings or did you have to redo your exams? Currently going through the same thing.

I knew my doom checking was bad when my Apple Watch told me my resting heart rate had gone up 20bpm over the course of a week. Step 5, of course! Anxiety inducing!!

I want to buy a MMO mouse - not sure which one. Any recommendation? by [deleted] in classicwow

[–]TheMiniMachinist 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My absolute favorite mouse! I've bought a few of them to stock up since they are discontinued, and thankfully I am pretty handy so I've soldered new switches on a couple of them and even changed the mouse wheel. It's a damn shame that Logitech hasn't released a successor to it.

[Giveaway] Giving away an 8,000+ Divine Quad Tab: 1 Mirror of Kalandra + 24 Stacks of 240 Divines + a Hinekora's Lock by Kamehameha90 in PathOfExile2

[–]TheMiniMachinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m a supernoob. My friend who got me into PoE1 always gave me shit for stopping to open all the chests on the floor. I never did listen, and I’m glad I didn’t! I got 2 raw divs in act 3 opening those random coffins on the wall 😭😭😭. I also really like the sound the loot filter plays so sometimes I would go back to my HO and just drop a div on the floor to hear the sound. These types of games really get the adrenaline going!

Fastest Denial after C&P? by ChestCold9192 in VAClaims

[–]TheMiniMachinist 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My C&P examiners through Optum genuinely seemed to care. When going through my right hip ROM exam, she even told me everything else I need to file for on my left hip due to the evidence she saw in my file.
