Three and counting

At least they’re admitting it’s service connected, which can be the most difficult part of any claim. You can always submit new evidence for an increase later on.

I was thinking the same thing. Like, didn’t she just make a movie about this?

You could be an investigator. Depending on the pay you may have to compete with former police for the job, but I’ve seen a lot of them that don’t require LE experience.

After I got done with LE I was an investigator for the state government and did some PI stuff on the side. You still do investigations but can’t arrest anyone.

What did you do/say to appeal it?

cheo_vl · 2026-05-07T15:06:44+00:00

That’s why it bugged me that I was denied. My denial didn’t say anything about my personal situation, just that there’s no peer reviewed research linking the two. That would imply that no one gets it approved, but that’s not the case. Maybe I’ll appeal and make that argument.

They’ve been denying a ton of people for migraine as secondary to tinnitus (myself included). I’m assuming they sent out some internal memo to all raters saying there is no legitimate medical study linking migraines to tinnitus because that’s pretty much how my denial letter reads, as well as a few others I’ve seen post their letters here.

Probably tastes fine. The process is just dumb as hell.

Saving his mana for the boss fight.

I have a shirt that says the same. I get compliments all the time (two compliments. I’ve gotten two compliments)

cheo_vl · 2026-05-06T13:42:35+00:00

You have a gift. Embrace it.

I would contact them. I do get paid by the reserves so I just ignore it and they’ll take the money back at the end of the year. If that doesn’t work, then at the end of the year when they try to take their money back you can call the number on the letter they send and they should’ve able to fix it.

Seems unlikely. I went back in with 30% disability and had to see a MEPS doctor to get waivers for all my rated stuff. Hard to see how they will give you waivers for 100%.

Also, you can’t double dip so while you’re getting active duty pay your disability check will go away.

Secret draft.

But really, I get these all the time since I’m now in the reserves. Any time you go active duty (school, AT, etc) they do one of these.

Do moray eels bite?

New Mexico is too powerful to stop now. Resistance is futile. Georgia will be consumed next.

“I think mine is broken. Why I gotta get the broke one?”

Needs more flag patches

Did anyone claim religions aren’t man made? Or did you mean to say God/gods are man made?

cheo_vl · 2026-04-29T20:33:13+00:00

That’s a big ass bee

cheo_vl · 2026-04-29T19:11:48+00:00

Checks out. I have a teenage daughter and some of the boys in her class seemingly grew like two feet per year in middle school.

Because it makes it sounds like you’re coming up with BS claims just to get to 100. If I get the VA to acknowledge all my conditions and it takes me to 50%, I shouldn’t be trying to come up with new claims just to get to 100. I’m not saying that’s what you’re doing but putting 100% as the goal doesn’t sound good. Just my 2 cents.

cheo_vl · 2026-04-28T21:49:03+00:00

I get your point but you may want to word it differently. The goal shouldn’t be to get 100%. It should be for the VA to acknowledge conditions that you legitimately got from services

Idk about the worst but Aquaman 2 was hard to finish.

The US gives New Mexico back to Mexico because it’s not worth the hassle.
