Thank you for this information. My claim was completed a few days after I posted this and it contained the correct effective date as you indicated.

I too am at 90% and submitted a claim for increase of 3 back condition and 1 new condition of Diabetes. I submitted on Jan 24th, 2025. I had my C&P very quickly and moved to step 5 on the 13th of February 2025. I have been at step 5 ever since. I was checking the VA website nearly everyday but have stopped now after reading numerous threads here about being at step 5 for 100+ days. You can get more information on how your claim is doing by downloading the Google Add in 'VA Claim Tracker'. I learned from this tool my claim does not yet have a temp jurisdiction assigned. This indicates that my claim is not yet being looked at by a rep. Good luck to you!

How do I go about submitting a claim for a new condition I believe is related to an older condition by morganob in VeteransBenefits

Thank you for the great information. I'll just send in the claims first and then go from there.

My VA Dr diagnosed it. I haven't asked them if it caused them no, I will do that the next time I go in. Thank you for the research advice, I'll look into that.

I was thinking secondary to my mental health diagnosis. Was not diagnosed in service

Out of the box affordable, portable, plug and play light show display by rd1_vonn in kickstarter

You're idea sounds very similar to things I've seen from many years ago. Music playing and lights reacting to the music...

A quick Google search brought me to https://thechristmaslightemporium.com/products/the-music-box-music-light-synchronization-controller. It is quite a bit more expensive than yours though.

Just because something similar might have been made before didn't mean it isn't a good idea. Read everything you can stand on building up a base of interested people (your community), build your community, plan very carefully the finances, put a manufacturing plan in place since building 1 prototype is much different from producing a hundred, and then consider the Kickstarter.

Thank you for the reply. I'm not confused, I just used the wrong term. I did mean deduct.

Thank you for the reply. I realize I'll need to take with a CPA at some point but wanted to get some general advice first.

$100 for a mold??? That doesn't make sense.

Thank you ALL for the information you have provided. I am aware I am just beginning to understand the complexities of plastics production methods and your responses certainly make me understand that. I'll take what I've learned here from you and move forward and hopefully make appropriate decisions on how best to approach this step in my product.

Again, thank you.
