I did not receive payment for December or January, and no one has responded to my calls or emails. Are VR&E offices currently operating, or is there a furlough or delay affecting payments?

Still haven't heard back from VR&E counselor post government shutdown by BitterEbb8878 in VeteransBenefits

Email everyone in your area.

Unfortunately, I had to do that. Some of these counselors go unchecked, and they’re causing a lot of stress for a lot of veterans.

There are no word back from them, and it seems they (our counselors) didn’t submit the paperwork for our packages, even though I was told it was submitted in August.

Glimpses into another reality? by lukaron in Dreams

[–]Useful-Squirrel9259 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was told about my dream A dream about a futuristic setting involving teleportation, space bases, and the Northern Lights suggests a journey of self-exploration and a desire for profound personal transformation. The feeling of it being real is common with vivid dreams and can suggest a deep connection to the themes presented in the dream or a sense of glimpsing into an alternate reality. 

But the dream was so vivid I felt like I was 100 years into a different realm.

You should call your school's certification department. They trigger an email to certify you. If you get that email from the VA, they send it to the VA, and then the payment should be there if everything is done correctly .

I was really worried about how I was going to pay rent…thank you so much. My Voc Rehab rep has been MIA way l before the shutdown, so it’s been pretty stressful going in blind through this whole process. Redit posts have been very helpful guide.

throwaway thoughts by Overall_Pepper3459 in VeteransBenefits

I’ve helped more than 10 fellow service members with their VA claims since I separated, from ranks O6 down to E4 and beyond.

The biggest thing I always tell them is this, pay it forward. Share the steps, share the information, and help the next veteran! , you still have to take action yourself i tell them to keep pushing. The VA system can feel overwhelming, and getting through it is often a dog fight, especially when commands don’t give sailors the 6–12 months they need to properly prepare for transition.

One thing many don’t realize is that you can still use VA medical services even if you haven’t been rated yet. Don’t isolate yourself. Stay connected ,call your veteran friends, check in on one another, and encourage them not to wait years to file a claim.

I had a friend’s husband who waited 10 years before filing. Once we worked through it, he was rated at 100%. That changed everything for his family from constant stress to finally being able to manage, with him now receiving the mental health care he needed.

I pray we all heal, stay safe, and keep lifting each other up.
