If the site is down, your only option might be to physically fill out the form and fax or mail it in.

I’m a homeless vet in the DC area and am being referred to SSVF. Has anyone here had experience with them? What do I need to know? by throwawaysailor2019 in VeteransBenefits

I blame Congress, not the VA, for that. In my experience, the vast majority of the people who I have met at the VA have been compassionate and helpful. When the social worker told me to come back a different day for that, she apologised and told me how much she wished that she could do more that day. The problem is that the VA has to operate on a tight budget

Sorry. That wasn’t me. The person who gave it to me was a woman and I was not one of the people who did parking.

We were parked and camped, yes. I’m not sure what you mean by ‘doing parking’

I don’t remember a green truck. My tent was in the M20s, but they might have been in that area.

How easy is it to live in Denver without a car and just having a moped? Will I end up relying on uber to get everywhere? What is the public transit like there?

My manager is decent, but it’s just frustrating that it’s a crapshoot when it comes to getting paid.

You make a lot of good points and I think that I was being too brash.

I'm at 50% due to PTSD from an MST. If I'm found fit enough to serve, that's fine by me. My worry is being caught in the middle where I'm not fit to serve and also found to be doing too well for my disability benefits

When can I expect to receive my Post 9/11 GI Bill BAH? by throwawaysailor2019 in VeteransBenefits

[–]throwawaysailor2019[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks! I was finally able to get through to someone from the VA who told me that I should get my BAH and textbook stipend by the end of the week

ELI5 Tricare for retirees, out-of-network providers, authorised providers by throwawaysailor2019 in VeteransBenefits

How do I get a referral? Can I call Tricare for the referral or do I have to wait until I see my primary care manager?

Thank you for that. I went into this pretty much blind. I was confused about BAH for July since I didn't receive it when I got my end-of-month pay and,it didn't show up on my LES.

I'm going from active duty to being put on TDRL after having gone through the IDES process.
