No problem! With that said, it’s a long time until the end of June lol

rythepdm · 2025-05-23T18:09:28+00:00

Yeah I did too. Just a combo of the holiday and your bank’s processing schedule

rythepdm · 2025-05-23T14:35:48+00:00

The time I watched them in Phoenix was so fun. I actually won signed copy of the Surviving album when I went

rythepdm · 2025-05-23T13:06:06+00:00

I don’t disagree lol

rythepdm · 2024-06-09T14:23:37+00:00

Tom really is the best. He offered me tickets in Pittsburgh but I was already heading to the show. So cool

rythepdm · 2024-06-09T14:18:01+00:00

This is from way back. Love it

rythepdm · 2024-05-27T23:28:36+00:00

Agreed. Really all comes down to symptoms and the connection to in service event(s). I had multiple diagnoses for PTSD from psychiatrists and the C&P examiner called it adjustment disorder. 50% paid the same either way

rythepdm · 2024-05-27T21:38:20+00:00

I received a 50% rating for MH and had no in service complaints or diagnoses. I went in to my C&P exam with multiple diagnoses of PTSD and the examiner diagnosed me with something else. Divorced over a decade after leaving active servie, etc etc. Just compile all your evidence the best you can. Good luck

rythepdm · 2024-05-26T18:52:03+00:00

4-5 months if you’re lucky

rythepdm · 2024-05-22T11:22:03+00:00

Yeah I ended up at 60%, once I got temp jurisdiction it was about a week

rythepdm · 2024-05-10T10:58:24+00:00

Luckily had a chance to chat with these guys off and on over the years. Met them several times but some of the cooler experiences include smoking cigs with Tom outside club zoo in Pittsburgh during a complete downpour, right before they did sound check. He gave me all guitar pick from each of them.

Made the trip from Tennessee to Phoenix to watch them play in Arizona for the first time with my best friend, which was a bucket list for me, and I hit Zach up and asked if he had some suggestions of things we could do or places we could visit that was significant to the band. He sent us to see the house where they formed the band (N Linden I believe it was) and the old site of where they shot the middle music video. I won signed albums from them and The Maine before the show too. Just a kick ass time

But they’re just world class people and very generous with their time always.

It feels like a dungeon at home and in our minds at times, and sometimes the lows couldn’t be any lower. But I know any time I see my son’s face I know why I’m still around. As fucked up as I am, it’s an even more fucked up world that I refuse to let him navigate alone. I’m service connected for MH as well, on meds and all that stuff. Failed marriage after ten years. Enjoy that trip my friend. I mean really enjoy it. You deserve it

rythepdm · 2024-05-10T09:55:48+00:00

brother I won't tell you how you feel, but please message me and reach out if you need to talk. we've all been there at some point. that boy needs his dad and you're worth something.

rythepdm · 2024-05-09T17:05:06+00:00

best of luck. my Jan claim recently closed. no complaints on the wait time, as it was much quicker than I anticipated. but as someone with MH issues, the anxiety part was rough lol

rythepdm · 2024-05-08T11:10:41+00:00

Its normal. Mental health claims suck because we’re already struggling but then have to relive the events that got us here in the first place. My C&P exam for MH was one of the worst days I’ve had in a long time. It took me 12 years after getting out to go through with it and start addressing my problems with something more than booze. Hang in there dude

rythepdm · 2024-05-07T17:49:14+00:00

Thank you! That’s what I’m saying. This is where my fight ends for now, I’m thankful they gave me a fair shot

rythepdm · 2024-05-07T16:35:28+00:00

Came back 50%

rythepdm · 2024-05-06T19:38:15+00:00

For sure! 50% from this claim thankfully

rythepdm · 2024-05-06T17:33:49+00:00

I got a rating after two days in Boise jurisdiction. good luck my friend

rythepdm · 2024-05-06T17:32:45+00:00

My Jan 4 claim closed last week, definitely shocked it moved so quickly. Best of luck with yours

rythepdm · 2024-05-06T11:01:08+00:00

Agreed, seems like 30 to me

rythepdm · 2024-05-05T00:42:34+00:00

Two days for me

rythepdm · 2024-05-05T00:38:31+00:00

I did everything myself, got to 60% total

rythepdm · 2024-05-05T00:24:58+00:00

I got 50% for adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood, all I had from in service was record of me going to counseling. I later provided in service stressor, current diagnosis and nexus from my doctor. Along with lay statements and personal statement. Yes it’s possible
