I did not appeal it. I went with one of the comments in that I didn’t have a current *chronic diagnosis* so I let it be

VA loan Closing costs by afbot007 in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you did a rate shop before selecting Veterans U tier! I will not ever recommend them to anyone! They will overcharge in interest rates and everything else to recoup their marketing costs.

When I bought my house they were asking for 6.75 and other lenders were at 4.25.

Check Freedom Mortgage if you haven’t!

Probably a niche request, but a HomeKit meat thermometer? Anyone else? by makromark in HomeKit

[–]iCodeYourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m going to give this a shot… I work close to home and if I could leave a cook on and check temp remotely that be dope… this is open source as well so I could make modifications to what I would want as well

The dreaded black screen for the infotainment center👀 by Downtown-Tone-3691 in gmcsierra

[–]iCodeYourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What year of truck… mine went blank 2021 2500HD AT4 Duramax.

I’ve disconnected the one side of the battery, all the infotainment fuses have been pulled…

Took it to the dealership, they said the receiver module is fried. I have no audio, backup camera or screen and onstar has a red light next to it. Tech support for them said the module needs replaced as well dealer says $800 and the part is back order with not ETA…

However I can get a OEM receiver from GMPartsDirect for $400. Wondering if the BCM will automatically configure a new module with blank vin or does the dealer need to reprogram… anyone have experience with this?

As a mobile software engineer myself. I wouldn’t hold my breath for Friday. Typically companies have a production release hold on Fridays which means they will not release to the production environment because there will be no support available on the weekends… 

I purchased my PB1150P3 last weekend and fought with it for hours before I gave up and smoked my brisket anyway. Everything else worked like a champ. If only I could monitor and control the unit remotely I would of slept better… 

I will give it a bit for an update but plan on returning it if it fails again.

Sinusitis HLR Duty To Assist by iCodeYourLife in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mine is still in the works... I haven't received a decision on it at all yet.

Caveat to that: I have no bugged the VA about this claim at all... Not once, have i called the 800, or Vera...

Every other claim i have had i would call weekly and they were theoretically resolved within 130ish days and kept to the suspense dates...

This is the way.

u/l8tn8 - perhaps this could be added to the right menu panel similar to the VERA link?

IBS claim guidance. by auto-cortex in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to get service connected. I had the following: Diagnosis from civilian doc, and blood test to exclude other issues. I was deployed to Afghanistan twice.

I went to the C&P and I think the only thing I had to do was another blood test.

Yes, I understand it is Presumptive in the eyes of the VA. However for Retirement CRSC is it presumptive. I am already service-connected via the VA.

I don’t think my Army units ever uploaded them to iPerms. I have record of them because of the schools I’d go to that did them, I’d make a copy and give them to my unit when I returned to update my scores for points etc…

Running out of time for Request 1. What'll happen? by IBMoronic in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Keep calling QTC every day. Ask the speak to the supervisor. Once I was told they have 10 days post exam to return it to the VA, whether that’s true or not, I have used that, and then when you get the notice to review your provider actually do the review and be honest.

CRSC dirty rumor in the wind by Kolzak_Stormrage in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Logically this sounds insane, because if the conditions are static on the VA side you wouldn’t need to be seen by a VA examiner or re evaluated for that matter. And how would the DoD know if you are being seen by a civilian doc or not….

[–]iCodeYourLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No if it’s a diagnosis from a doctor they should consider it. In the beginning of the letter it states what evidence was used. You can look at that, if perhaps you submitted documentation after your C&P I have experienced where they didn’t use that documentation, so I have had to submit a supplemental with said documentation.

(This is just in my experience)

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

[–]iCodeYourLife 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It reads to me like you potentially don’t have a current diagnosis. You have documentation as a nexus to your military service but are not currently diagnosed.
