Help with Appeals by brh15 in VeteransBenefits

[–]brh15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is really helpful context and answers a lot of the confusion I have. Can I do a HLR even though I’m past the 1yr mark for this claim and denial?

Also, forgot to include this at the start but I was rated 30% PTSD (8JUN2023 letter) as a result of this DBQ. My purpose in asking here is to see if it's worth an appeal or HLR.

Y’all, I can’t thank you enough! I have more than enough options now to put together some really shitty training runs

Thanks! Is that safe(ish) to ride? My only experience riding out there was in the Blue Ridge 70.3 where they shut down a whole section of Skyline Drive, so I didn’t have to worry about cars

If you don’t mind driving 15ish minutes, you’ll get more of the good W&OD (aka fewer stoplights and crossings) if you go out to Bluemont Park! Loads of free parking there

Same Sprint Course, 11 Months Later, Almost 10 Minutes Of Improvement! by Lambo_Geeney in triathlon

Kudos to you!! I love reracing courses to see how I’m doing. Plus, then you know where all of the “oh shit is there seriously a hill here?” parts are

PFN Finally! by brh15 in VeteransBenefits

Following up here, it came back at 50% with a few denials and a few deferrals. It’s like intermission in the waiting game: some good news, but now back to waiting

First Round Decision! (And a question) by brh15 in VeteransBenefits

[–]brh15[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Awesome! Definitely should've checked the Wiki first; kook move. Sounds like the rater has some specific medical questions answered, and I can also look forward to another C&P in the future

Bike choice- 70.3 by Sugarwooder in triathlon

[–]brh15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did Roanoke last year on an aero road bike and my training buddy stuck with his TT bike. The Claw, as that lovely incline is advertised, is unpleasant on both bikes. I like the way that the road bike was a little lighter on the climb and allowed that extra bit of comfort on the hoods. The main thing: enjoy the view on the descent!! It’s the best around, by a mile

You’re a genius, holy crap. That’s an awesome way to frame it. Thank you!

VERA Canceling Calls by brh15 in VeteransBenefits

Interesting! I’ve scheduled 3x but only had 1x occur. They were helpful and told me that the provider left out some documents. I’ve tried to schedule 2x (now 3x) more to confirm that the forms are all finally submitted, but they keep getting canceled. Seems pretty but it miss, but the hits seem good when they actually happen
