It's FINALLY myyyyyy mf turn! I was beyond done with trying. After getting constantly denied I began to think maybe I shouldn't try anymore. Got a lawyer, tried 1 more time, and got it.

I was so sick and tired of people getting 100%. It was making me bitter. I just turned 30 but my body cracks and pops like an elderly person. I will still be in pain, but at least I'm finally getting the...

This doesn't feel real; I looked hoping for pfn, but expecting no change. Last week it was still in gathering evidence. I thought I fit the criteria for 70%, but expected a 30% or 50% rating, and to have to fight for higher.

Submitted for increase 08/16 PFN 09/07 Claim Closed 09/08. This subreddit has helped me out a ton and have referred a couple of my buddies to it.

This morning I decided to check the status of another claim and noticed my supplemental was mostly finished. Yes, I cried. It still feels like it’s a dream. To all of the VA employees out there that are actively helping us get to this point, THANK YOU!! To all my brothers and sisters still fighting, you’re not alone. Don’t ever give up!
