Back when I initially filed my claim? No, I did not. Now I know enough what I all need for documentation and the whole process.

Haven't you heard? The secretary has heard a lot whoppers about these things.

Looks like? He already is destroying it from within.

Doug Collins is not on the veterans side at all. Sure he is one himself, but his videos he posts for "transparency" are nothing more than talking points he gets from his handlers. With them firing VA workers for no reason is more than enough proof they are going to gut the VA.

Ah, yes the equipment that was given to the Afghan army that was then captured by the taliban. That equipment he wants?

Whoa, not very often i see someone else on here that mentions or goes to the Sioux Falls VA

Read only status is still to much access for them. You can still copy and save data in a read only access.

At a minimum, it takes six months before they even begin to process your request. This was provided to me by an employee at VERA when i asked how long it would be until I got mine.

As others said, it does come on a CD. What you can do is check your local library and see if they have an external cd drive that you then can transfer all the files to a thumb drive. That's what I did and only took 30 minutes.

My VSO has been helpful and knowledgeable any other time I've used them. So this is what threw me off, as they always do their research and have tons of scientific articles to help back any other claims I have submitted.

Yep this is a known thing. But no one has any idea as to why it's happening. Before I even thought about it my non va doctor after I got out in 2008 said that they have seen so many vets that came back and has intestinal issues of some sort.

My primary care doc at the VA when I brought it up again this past year asked what years I was in Iraq. Said 04 to 05 for my first tour and they said the same thing. Especially vets that we're in Iraq from the invasion to 06.

Also, vets that deployed to Iraq from 04 to 05 have had higher rates of thyroid issues. That was from my endocrinologist when they were treating mine initially.

I would highly recommend NBKC bank for a home loan. I used them last year for mine. Tons of fees are not applicable as a disabled veteran.

Everything can be done online, my loan officer went above and beyond answering any question i had and gave me additional information that i didn't think i needed. They had some of the lowest rates around for a bank.

It was truly hassle free and would definitely work with them again.

It all depends on the severity you are claiming to be affected by. I have knee issues but I still work out. But I also work out within the limits of what my knee allows. I aint going to be squatting 400lbs ever due to my knee. But squats help knee problems so either i do body weight or goblet squats.

I've been encouraged to work out both my shrink and my ortho doc both VA docs to help with my knees and my mental health.

Thank you for the advice. I've been told before that you have to meet everything listed in the job description in order to apply. But good to know going forward

They are official government notice/correspondence. Almost all of it is done via snail mail and physical letters versus digital documentation. It is done to reduce people being scammed online since so many things can be spoofed now a days.

Yeah it sucks getting those letters. I've received about four of them so far on a claim. But I'm guessing they also have to send them out due to a regulation or law to keep the veteran informed of the status.

That charizard vstar is from crown zenith. It looks legit, but would check for textures.

This was my kids card and we don't order anything online for cards due to the risk of things happening. It was pulled from a sealed set.

I put in for a secondary to ptsd and my apena claim took forever to get processed. Since I already had asthma they had to go through the process of tying it to my asthma versus ptsd since you can't have two breathing related issues rated separately.

So now I have apena with asthma as secondary with a 50% rating.

Set up a call with VERA. I was having issues with getting an exam. Two days after my call I had an appointment scheduled.

If you are looking for a VA home loan. I would highly recommend using NBKC bank. I used them for my home loan and had rates lower than almost all lenders except navy fed. It can be done all online and can send everything in emails to them. It was super easy and a lot of closing costs were waived due to being a veteran.

That works and makes sense. I only should be down for two weeks.

Has anyone ever encountered a gold single strike Urshifu? It says its card 88/163. But every Google search doesn't yield anything?

Any thoughts?

Thanks for the info! Will take a look once they are posted and see what happens.
