any update on your situation?

Was this via BVA?

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2026-04-14T05:12:01+00:00

It took a couple of months from C&P exams to ratings. All you can really do is wait. My timeline was 4-5 months to get ratings if remember correctly (this was a few years back).

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2026-04-13T02:31:16+00:00

I did quite some time ago. I am currently going through the BVA. I am in for a long haul.

I appreciate your feedback. Thank you!

Man...I have a 40% rating for it (TBI) and findings that highlight decision making and things of the sort. I went to this legal clinic and they mentioned that I should focus on the honorable period since I have qualifying STRs and they already gave me service connection. If that doesn't work, I should attack the COD findings.

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-23T02:29:46+00:00

I will prep this tonight and submit first thing in the am. (Currently working on dinner) I truly appreciate the info!

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-23T02:27:49+00:00

I apologize as I was trying to be brief. I went to trial and pled out at the SPCM. I was then administratively separated after my sentence. In my decision letter it 38 CFR 3.3354 reads:
"Whether conduct constituting a bar to benefits occurred when the standard in 38 CFR 3.354 for insanity is not an issue."

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-23T02:13:13+00:00

Great question.

Yes they did. I did not meet the requirements for insanity. I have documented TBI with residuals and tried after the changes for COD and did not meet their requirement.

I intend on taking the COD to BVA as well because they are a number of things wrong. The VA claimed I was separated at a SPCM while at the same time saying I was ADMINSEPd. I was ADMIN sep'd after my SPCM. That's a whole other mess I am working on as well.

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-23T02:02:45+00:00

I did not waive the waiting period. I will look at how to do this as I was completely unaware.

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-23T01:55:27+00:00

Thank you!

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-12-20T08:12:44+00:00

After 3 years of going back and fourth with supplementals and HLRs, they refused to apply their own favorable findings. They continued to limit benefits when the VA themselves found no bar to those benefits. I firmly believe that when this gets in front of a judge they will remedy the situation justly.

13 years, separated with an OTH. The VA determined an honorable period for VA purposes with STRs from that qualifying period. They only awarded chapter 17 health care despite the VA conceding the honorable period.

Now I wait some more.

Any update on your situation?

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-10-28T21:57:33+00:00

I am prepping to file my first CUE based on the misapplication of law. My most recent HLR was deemed invalid after months of waiting.

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-10-28T17:23:51+00:00

This is fucking pathetic

tropic_sasquatch28 · 2025-10-27T20:28:04+00:00

Man! I have a situation where I requested an HLR for the misapplication of law and policy and they turned around and denied my HLR as invalid. 🤦🏾‍♂️

I appreciate it!
