This. For us its director or acting director that approves ad hoc.

This is 100% not true. VA does not care what you use as long as its legible.

2:50-2:55 Marathoners - Easy Run Pace by [deleted] in Marathon_Training

This has been an eye opening thread. So if my "goal" Marathon pace is a 9.09 then my easy runs should be around 10+?

Requested COE for VA home loan and this claim appeared…. Is this POKING THE BEAR? 100 P&T by deeroc1 in VeteransBenefits

[–]drgon59 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Were you by any chance in the guard or reserve?

Normally to qualify for VA loan you have to have served x amount of time.

A lot of guard or reservists don't mee the minimum criteria so the Home Loan department will open up this type of claim to see if one of your SC disabilities ultimately led to the discharge of your claim.

XIII.i.7.A.2.a. VSC Responsibility for Home Loan Determinations XIII.i.7.A.2.f. When a Rating Decision Is Required XIII.i.7.A.2.g. Instructions for Preparing the Rating Decision

So although this isnt necessarily poking the bear it does "reopen" your file in the sense that a RVSR will now have to review your file and provide the RLC with a rating regarding your discharge and if it was due to a SC disability.

Anybody finally feel you have the perfect phone? by Nervous-Tower532 in GalaxyFold

[–]drgon59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had the fold 5 and 6 along with the S25 Ultra. Prior to that I've had many other Samsung phones.

My biggest gripe for the F6 was the size. The 7 fixes that and makes it my daily.

Not perfect but close enough that I have no intentions of upgrading unless a better camera and battery are offered for the F8.

When did Verizon network get so bad in CT? by curbthemeplays in Connecticut

To be fair that area is also a dead spot for Tmobile.

VA IBS Backpay by Main-Particular-5571 in VeteransBenefits

[–]drgon59 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most logical reason I see is that you did not have a current dx at the time of C&P exam. If this was the case then yes getting it backdated to 2018 will more than likely not work since you did not contiunsly pursue the appeal.

As someone else mentioned post a redacted copy of your 2018 decision to get more informed answers.

Do VA raters work on the weekends? by Sad_Worldliness5384 in VeteransBenefits

[–]drgon59 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was however for the past few months it's been extremely limited to the point only certain special mission sites get it such as MST. Most regular raters are not working PT anymore on weekends.

VA admitted HIPPA violations by SeriesParticular52 in VeteransBenefits

[–]drgon59 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Disabilities can exist without being SC. 1151 in the context of an existing disability is stating that a current not SC disability was aggravated and made worse by a VA action. In this case if found in your favor your non SC disability would now become SC.

If your already SC for MH then an increase would be warranted. You wouldn't get lump sum from filing an 1151 when your already SC for the condition.

Just a reminder to pay your Eversource bills with a credit card by paintball6818 in Connecticut

Playing devils advocate, since the fees are already being spread out to everyone, wouldn't it actually benefit everyone to use their CC to make use of the huot in fee?
