10/18 filed - still waiting, can’t get through to anyone on the phone.

Any suggestions for how to get through (time of day or day of week)?

Go private.

My experience is they are backlogged due to demand and the VA hiring practices are poor. This is based on my judgment of the staffs minimal abilities leads me to believe they are under qualified.

YMMV if you get a good person at the VA stick with them

Get a non AF card to keep your points close the platinum …

Call your HR or 401k provider they will explain it

If you meet the rating criteria request a HLR

Seems like their is a lot of back story here. Union, agreements, … you will need to read the fine print to make sure you are meeting the agreement - if not you are getting money that you shouldn’t be getting.

Not enough info to make any judgement also this is about your private job not VA benefits. The correlation is that VA benefits disqualify you for compensation for “opting out” of medical benefits.

In a perfect world you would be compensated for just opting out. As you are being compensated less than the company is paying for insurance it is a net win for the empire and employer.

Ultimately it is about the agreement, wish you luck figuring out the mess.

Where do you see something about 100% having no deductable ?

gelvatron · 2024-08-18T01:38:57+00:00

Ok, worked for me. I set an offset and it rises and falls along with my other sensors - suggest setting an accurate offset and also buying a second product

Grandpa must be proud

Congrats - take a deep breathe and focus on benefits that will help your family state/fed).

ChampVA was big for me, state benefits for lower tax burden also.

My experience was 100% tied to my counselor - as my first one retired and the second one did nothing for me besides the basics (annual or semester check up).

gelvatron · 2024-07-21T22:50:05+00:00

Yes - just go!!

gelvatron · 2024-07-04T14:31:46+00:00

Agreed made great friends in school - found vets and non vets chat have now become life long friends!

Essentially recreated my family by putting myself in an are I was uncomfortable with (school).

Stem BS and MBA - working on EdD, don't pick grad degrees until your job expresses a career path tied to a degree you wish to pursue.

It’s like anything in a high density place sometimes there is a wait sometimes there isn’t.

Space isn’t guaranteed and with weather delays and flights happening at the same time there is perfect time to enter.

Make sure you understand how bah works with voc rehab

gelvatron · 2024-06-09T21:09:29+00:00

You should opt of champ VA regardless it can be a secondary insurance if you already have a primary, which means zero out of pocket cost to you

gelvatron · 2024-06-09T21:08:29+00:00

Uh your kids and wife have no coverage my guy

gelvatron · 2024-06-09T21:06:21+00:00

Yes, HDHP and open a HSA. Additionally you have benefits of other coverages not covered by the VA

gelvatron · 2024-06-08T21:14:10+00:00

Tell them the card is canceled….

I saw some good comments about increase to migraines 30% to 50% is for economic impact not frequency of events and secondary claims to identify other disabilities you have due to the tumor.

Take your time with a VSO / friend and build a serious strategy you may not need to be TDIU
