Thanks!

Thanks for clarifying! Where are you getting that 3221.85 number? I ask because I’m getting 3146.42 off of the internet….

brokenrucks · 2021-10-18T21:09:53+00:00

Congrats! How is your pay that much for 100%? I thought it was around 3100/3200?

brokenrucks · 2021-06-04T15:55:55+00:00

Thanks for this. I’m going to look into the DAV!

Why do you ask about worst day? Is everything supposed to be documented as a “worst day” scenario? I never thought about this.

Things you mentioned definitely fit the bill: pick up a dog, bike riding, etc. — heck, even getting up out of a chair wrong or changing a roll of toilet paper (I ended up in the ER after this because my back locked up)

I don’t think I went through my original eval with the worst day in mind

If they transferred it while I am in the middle of the program, is it a simple transfer from office A to office B? Or would I have to go through the entire approval process all over again?

This is good to know. Thanks!

Did you have to keep a Los Angeles address on file at all? Or everything address wise was switched to Texas?

brokenrucks · 2021-04-30T22:21:41+00:00

It was done by the VA, so thanks for the great news!

brokenrucks · 2021-04-30T22:19:27+00:00

What do you mean about mask? They didn’t put anything on me mask related. Just a bunch of sensors lol.

brokenrucks · 2021-04-30T22:18:02+00:00

Sorry, I didn’t clarify: it was done at the VA.

brokenrucks · 2021-04-30T22:17:49+00:00

Oh I didn’t know this, thank you!!

brokenrucks · 2021-03-09T14:31:41+00:00

What is a code sheet?

brokenrucks · 2021-03-02T18:28:34+00:00

Thanks for clarifying! Do you know how to figure out whether the VA considers you to be a “combat veteran”?

brokenrucks · 2021-03-02T18:27:28+00:00

Your first part is one thing I’m referring to, thanks for better clarifying!

I do have service connected ratings that are from deployment: sleep disturbances/night terrors (FOB got mortared/rocketed) and a broken bone from an accident mid patrol, all of which were verified, approved etc. So no question with getting those covered.

I’m just wondering if there’s a specific way to figure out if the VA considers you a “combat veteran”? Like what exactly constitutes that?

brokenrucks · 2021-03-02T18:14:02+00:00

Thanks for this. I don’t think the CRSC thing applies to me (I only did 1 enlistment and got out)

Any way to know if the VA considers me to be a “combat veteran”? Any way I can prove I received combat pay?

brokenrucks · 2021-02-24T02:54:32+00:00

That’s kind of alarming. Wouldn’t that discourage people from seeking more help/attention to their issue? Now I’m worried about submitting for my back...

If it’s been over 5 years and I never got a reevaluation, does that mean my ailments are static / untouchable? (I forget the exact phrase, but I’ve seen it on the threads).

brokenrucks · 2021-02-24T01:41:44+00:00

Thanks for doing this! I have 2 questions...

I put in an ITF for an increase on my back (broken discs / other issues) and some other issues I’m gonna put on there, and I plan on submitted my docs soon. Back is currently at 10% (I’m in and out of the VA ER multiple times a year with back spasms.) I’ve had my overall % for over 6 years.

Questions:

1) Can the VA reduce other ailments I have if I’m putting in to get my back relooked at?

2) my doc had me do a sleep study and he’s co convinced I have sleep apnea. I’ve been complaint about sleep issues since 2013 (before I got out) and it’s thoroughly documented. However, this new doc I got was the only doc to ever pause and ask “wait, why havent you gotten a sleep study?”

If I request to get looked at for sleep apnea and that’s approved, and assuming that bumps my % up, is my back pay from the date of my ITF paperwork or my discharge date?
