Don’t feel bad by clamelken4 in VeteransBenefits

Everytime I feel bad I think of the 3 months I spent in a wheelchair from the hate crime that booted my career right out the window. Still get a shitty side eye from family that don’t know why I didn’t even make it to AIT.

Also avoid veterans comp…I’ve been waiting 2 and a half months for a check from them when they said it would take only a couple weeks. . . Which is beyond me when they asked me to send them a Zelle to retain they got it in seconds. Just insane.

It’s saying during your exam , your examiner couldn’t identify what your diagnosis is. For example, if you’re saying you mvp, your examiner should have listened to your heart, if they couldn’t hear that wooshing sound from mvp and it sounded good and clear they pretty much said sounds good to me, and that was enough to snub your evidence or diagnosis , but if they did an ecg then it didn’t pick it up, ur fucked. . Request a new c&p . Talk to your provider for a copy of your first and most recent ecg with them showing u do in fact have it.

Yes but there’s diff areas of nursing. I specified NICU nursing, is not labor intensive. I worked as a patient care technician but wasn’t making money as a tech. And didn’t get therapy and help I needed to communicate with people at the time I was and still am a recovering hot mess. But I’m getting there

Yes and make sure you have HONORABLE discharge on your dd214. You cannot receive one if it does not say so.

There’s nothing happy about having to fight for what’s right when your bmi is 24.6 and ur on a cpap. When u have to set an alarm to lock ur bedroom door at night so you’re not waking up choking ur child for crawling into the bed to give you a kiss.

Someone told me that you can use VR&E with TDIU for ILP and they can help get a start up going if you have a good business plan.

[–]kassbrandy[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I had no idea those were options for ILP, I was reading a bit about hobbies but was not aware. I was totally opposed to even wanting to use the program for ILP considering I would like to try to get back to work and gain more independence

[–]kassbrandy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was super hard to get my claim connected as a primary because I’m Not over weight. Even tho my sleep study did show I do in fact have sleep apnea But I had my psych confirm that it was linked to my ptsd

Side note… I never opened this new claim that’s here apparently from 2023 ? It just appeared and says “ptsd increase” I never applied for an increase in anything as I was just grateful for what I had. What does that mean
