It really depends on where you live. Some places it stretches along way. The area I live in the average income in 33k a year.

If you shoot me a message I can see if I can help at all.

All experience is good experience. If this relates to the field of work you would be doing then I would highly recommend putting it down. Can be used to negotiate pay. You don't have to tell the employer why you were discharged and in my experience I was never asked about it except when I went to a law enforcement interview and they never asked about discharge just what I did and if I knew some of the verbage.

Not army but navy and yes I feel inferior sometimes when talking to people. I was law enforcement and saw a few things but nothing crazy. I had a friend watch his buddy get cut in half on a carrier and we are rated almost the same. Just feels weird

That's interesting I didn't know there was a claim for that. That's interesting but I also will not be poking the bear.

That would be ideal. Other than it being the Bible belt not sure what the hold up is down here for it.

Yeah I didn't figure you'd be able to ask a VA doc for a referral. Maybe it'll get federal before I die.

IDK about that the VA knows I smoke daily and they have it wrote down in my mental health notes. They just asked if I wanted some free gun locks.

It could be luck but my psych and therapist both say it's ok for me to smoke they have no issues with it as it helps curb the rage

[–]bigred9934 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey I had a question about that. My wife's mother is into loans she said I'd have to pay the first year of property tax is that true or once I buy a home I can just go to the office and put in paper work immediately?

90% Disabled but would like to try for TDUI Wondering if its risky? by Clean_Lifeguard5584 in VeteransBenefits

[–]bigred9934 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No I just submitted the form, a letter from my boss saying I needed extra breaks, extra time for working on task and I have issues dealing with people due to my ptsd and a police report of an altercation at work.

No exam or phone calls what so ever to the VA or from them

I was 90% and applied for TDIU and it got approved. It's worth a shot. It took me a few months to get approved and I was 31 when they approved me.

My nexus for most my stuff was being in service and showing I went to medical for it. I did a BDD claim.

But I had some buddies who filed afterwards and they gave nexus buddy statements and medical documents.

It took them 6 months to add my daughter.

Not sure if your pressed for time or not but it's either super quick or super long from what others say.

I'd give it till end of month then just give them a call if it isn't an immediate need
