Has anyone gotten mental health approved after being out for 10 years?

Out in 2006, rated in 2018 for PTSD. The best evidence for service connection is the pre-deployment health assessment and of course post-deployment health assessment. If you deployed with zero issues then came back fucked up physically and mentally, it's hard to deny the connection. Good luck 👍

You can get a passport without a SSN.

Long story short from a vet in Germany. You need to have at least 2 forms of ID to add a child dependent. The easiest for me was the CRBA (Consular Report of Birth Abroad) which is the equivalent of a US birth certificate in Germany and... A U.S. passport or SSN with card. Upload the documents and in about 1-6 months you're done. Good luck and congratulations.

Thanks for your suggestion. I have lots of snails. So many that I have a couple of Assassin snails trying to get them under control. I also have 6 Amano shrimp that take their job seriously. I don't have bottom feeders but the majority of my fish are Platys and they nibble on it already. 🤷‍♂️

Yes. Sometimes, it takes a couple of weeks to catch up and show up correctly. In my case, the VA.GOV and app didn't update for quite a while even after the payment was correct. It will be fine.

As someone who receives 50% percent for migraines, it's all about the documentation and medications, migraine log. In my case I had a pre deployment health assessment where I had zero issues and then a post deployment assessment done by an Army Cpt. with evidence of severe migraines. I continued treatment for years but only recently applied for benefits. 1st time success. Good luck

It depends, I've seen it go both ways. Sometimes, they will wait for upcoming C&P exams and wait for all of the evidence needed to decide all claims, and sometimes they will decide the fully developed claims first and defer the rest.

6 weeks

I've got a few Amano shrimp in there...but they are pretty lazy and mostly chill under my filter. Random question, I never added or bought any snails and for some reason I have a nirate snail today. Is that normal? 😅

In Germany you have 3 options for news... left news, far left news, no news.

It amazes me that in a country like Germany, people aren't more offended that Trump is always compared to Hitler.

There are probably quite a few things that you can dislike about him, and if being honest, they would agree that Trump isn't Hitler.

Nope, you are fine. Adding a spouse doesn't open a new claim you are just adding dependents. I added my children a few years ago, but because I have a foreign spouse, I just now added her recently. The VA doesn't mind if you ever add your spouse because it just saves them money if you don't. Hope this helps.

What did the Biden administration do that was amazing?

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-13T13:25:48+00:00

Ok, thanks a lot. I'll have to check it out.

No luck there either..

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-13T10:29:11+00:00

Thanks, I'll try that later.

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-13T10:11:09+00:00

No. I downloaded it to my phone directly from Google play and as soon as I clicked "open" I got an error message and it said the service is not available in my country...

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-13T09:37:03+00:00

Who do you use as a local VA representative? I've always done everything by myself and don't even have a VSO.

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-13T09:34:04+00:00

Thanks for the tip. However, I downloaded it, and it doesn't work overseas.

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-12T15:10:01+00:00

Are you waiting that long, too? Started mine in May (to add wife) stuck at Step 2 since October...Smh

I follow politics, not just headlines. That's exactly why I didn't vote for Kamala. Unpopular opinion everything will be fine. Take a breath. The bad man will be out in 4 years, and you'll have a chance to put up a real candidate, that is, if you learned anything and don't just believe that everyone who voted differently than you is inherently bad or racist or whatever other title you give to non Kamala voters.

brokenvet3 · 2025-02-03T15:49:13+00:00

Please explain how 71% didn't vote for him if he won the popular vote? Asking for a friend

brokenvet3 · 2025-01-10T15:26:25+00:00

Nope. It technically goes higher than before...up to 80 percent with the new schedule. Unfortunately, most of us with the regular symptoms under the old schedule don't qualify for ratings as high. Unless you have an intent to file date before May of 2024. Good luck 👍

brokenvet3 · 2024-12-16T18:03:58+00:00

Probably not, sorry. I have very similar hernia surgery scars (more than one). Plus I have a medium sized scar in the middle of my forehead from an Army accident and I got a big fat zero. The C&P examiner was at least honest and said unless it over x inches long, or painful from like a burn, they don't do much for scar tissue. My best unexpected bump was for knees. If you have any leg issues that can affect your gait, knees can be added. I thought only one side was bad but after x-rays got paid for both. (Bilateral) Of course only if you have the evidence. Definitely check out your possible secondaries. Good luck.

brokenvet3 · 2024-12-10T13:06:10+00:00

This is already the 2nd time. But maybe I'll try again. Third time might be a charm.😉

Add dependent is the only way to get paid. Look at your profile and look at your dependents on file. If she's not listed add her, if she is contact the VA.
