I’ve been unemployed since COVID-19 began. Got laid off and such, spent my money on a big move for the family and relying on my GI Bill money to support us. We are in a new state and I don’t have work history here (Florida) am I able to claim Florida unemployment or do I go through NY state (where we moved from)?

During a MH C&P exam, will they ask about Divorce experience that occurred during my active duty time?I'm just worried if they see that I got divorce while I was active, they might think my mental illness got worse because of "Divorce" not because of any "Service connected/related events". Should I still mention I had a bad divorce that might have worsen my mental condition or not worth mentioning...

So today I found out that my claim which I submitted on 22FEB2022 was closed on 06JUL2022. I had claimed quite a few issues but was only recently scheduled for an exam back on the 29th of June. Long story short, I am too sick to go to the appointment that day and so I call to cancel and reschedule.

Hello all! So right now the Navy is behind on DD-214s and my admin drafted up a statement of service in lieu of my 214. I am currently on terminal leave and awaiting my paper.

Thanks in advance for any and all help.

Thanks!

Following from my previous post here, I just wanted to talk out my strategy for the coming meeting and welcome any advice.

So pretty much I want to make sure that I satisfy the three elements they're looking for to grant service connection.

1. I was diagnosed with a disability (tinnitus) by the VA. This diagnosis has been affirmed by the VA several times.
2. My C&P notes as well as my most recent...

I'm an AGR Soldier in the Guard with 17 years active service, is there a "safe" zone where I can stop timing my hearing test, or go to a mental health provider for my PTSD without worrying about being kicked out before I can retire? I've heard people talk about "sanctuary" but I've always thought it was a myth. I once went to marriage counseling for a few sessions and my command got a letter...

I started a claim back in mid May, currently still in evidence collection phase but I haven't heard anything. Already had all my C&P exams.
