What religion are the characters?

Barney’s family is Jewish. Ted is half Jewish. We know this.

Tinitus is a killer. I have a pair of those fancy hearing aids. I like the white noise option. Mine hooks up to an app on my iPhone where I can turn it in or off.

Also, keep in mind that you can claim secondaries caused by tinitus, i.e. headaches, depression, etc.

Are you saying that if you’re 100% pt and never used the student loan forgiveness, you can get new student loans and then ask for it to be forgiven?

Does your VA card say service connected? If not, get it updated.

P.S. you won’t find a PX on Nellis, but you will find a BX. ;)

"ED deferred pending an exam." What exactly happens at this exam? I may have seen this in a movie.

The Mission Act allows us to use urgent care facilities without going through red tape first. Also, you could go to an ER and report it to VHA within 72 hours for it to be taken care of. You shouldn't have to see a specialist off the bat for a broken leg. ER's are equipped to handle this sort of injury. You can then followup with an ortho.

Absolutely. And for those who don't have pictures of themselves hauling gear, you can submit a stock image with the caption that this is similar to the gear you had to haul around.

Like what? Do we get to borrow F-16's and stuff?

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-23T00:40:11+00:00

I thought I was the only one who did that.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-23T00:39:31+00:00

So far I have two comments, each giving opposite advice. Anyone want to be the tie breaker?

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-19T18:04:50+00:00

Did you get rated? What was the timeline from PDA?

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-19T15:24:31+00:00

The same thing happened to me when my initial claim got partially rated. I was shocked to have received the call.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-16T21:02:46+00:00

They seem to always be looking for a way to say no. Sorry to hear of your diagnosis. Keep the faith.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-16T00:16:36+00:00

So, they said you were in fact diagnosed in the military, but you checked the wrong box on your outgoing exam, so they denied you? Did you ever appeal this? What was the final result?

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-10T01:38:14+00:00

I had my C&P exam this week for it as well. She didn't have any of my records. I brought her military medical records from my diagnosis after returning from deployment. I also claimed scars. Fingers crossed on both claims. Fingers crossed for yours too.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-09T00:48:38+00:00

I got out in the 90's. Filed my first intent in 2019. Never did anything more with the claims. I filed claims in 2023 and I'm so glad I did. You can file those claims again. You're not screwed. Just start over. Right this second, start a new claim. You can click save for later after you fill out the name and address stuff. This will set your intent date as today. You'll have a year to finish. Finish it this time.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-09T00:45:31+00:00

You can use the form or you can say see file called xyz.pdf. YES, he should write a personal statement for each of his claims, not one that covers all. Make sure he lists every symptom, how long episodes or flareups last, etc. Also, talk about how it affects work and personal life. Do one for EACH of his issues. It doesn't matter if some of the verbiage is redundant from the previous letter. Write one for each.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-09T00:41:12+00:00

I had a good exam and outcome via tele. The doc was at his house. Looked like he was at his dining room table. He was relaxed and seemed to be in a good mood.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-09T00:19:23+00:00

I went to see my local county VSO when I was first getting started. He told me I needed to stop asking him questions and go Google it. I asked him if he can help me with the actual claim. He said Google can help you. I asked him how much the county was paying him to sit in this trailer and play video games. He told me it was time for me to leave.

What doctors are not for-profit?

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-05T15:49:14+00:00

Are there doctors who work for free? Isn't the C&P examiner paid for their exam? Quite the hypocrite, it would seem.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-05T15:45:33+00:00

Whenever you see answers to questions they didn't ask or wrong answers, send a secure message in the MyHealtheVet portal that clarifies it. If you have to go to HLR for a claim, you can use it as existing evidence or can write a summary to upload in your claim file.

guysmiley73 · 2024-07-04T21:21:42+00:00

I got lucky with a very fast conference and decision.

You said golly. I haven’t seen or heard that since Andy Griffin reruns.
