Never went to medical for my disabilities in service. My wife finally made me get checked to get help 8 years later and of course, I’m still having pain and issues. I am diagnosed with a few muscular skeletal disabilities and PTSD. So I guess my question is because I have no treatment and medical history until now (2022) and got out of service in 2014, what all do I need to win my claim? I’m...

I have physical injuries that are no more than 10% and 20%. (Wrists and shoulders) mobility is fine it’s just pain. I want to be a fire fighter, is there anything i should do or not do before getting into this?

My father is a 100% disabled veteran and I receive a monthly payment from the VA (Ch. 35 benefits) every month I'm enrolled in school. Right now, I'm taking online classes. However, since these benefits are for veterans' dependents, will I lose those benefits if I leave my parents' house to go to college on campus? Thanks in advance!

I live in Virginia and I’m 100% p&t does anyone know how I file to get the tax exemption for my house?

Was told to ask this here. I got EPTSed midway though AIT for compartment syndrome I didn't know I had. They first thought they were lymphomas, then vein issues and finally after a pressure test they confirmed it was compartment syndrome and started my epts process. How would I go about proving service aggravation to the VA(if I even can)

Hello everyone, not sure if this is the most appropriate place to ask but I figured I might as well try and seek some knowledge and maybe someone can help me out or point me in the right direction.

I got out in November of 2019, just my 4 years within the MC. While I was in the service there were a ton of moments where I just didn’t want to live anymore, feeling depressed and alone and isolated...

Well! It’s my turn to share. I’ve been so up and down reading posts and of course driving myself CRAZY! I finally decided to file my claim. I had previously tried when I was discharged and also tried in 2018 and just could not bring myself to follow through. Mainly I read the denials and discouraging stories so I didn’t think I’d receive any type of benefits. I pushed forward and here I am...

My buddy had a mental health C&P and he got adjustment disorder mixed with anxiety and depression. Decision says active psychosis/GW. Can anyone give me an idea if that can receive compensation? I couldn’t help him

I'm rated at 20% for left shoulder tendonitis. My lawyer for other claims set me up with a Dr who did an exam for several conditions. The Dr said my shoulder should be rotator cuff strain (which I've always thought so too) and wrote that in the exam papers. But they filed a supplemental claim for limitation of arm movement? What will that do to my claim. Are they expecting me to get shoulder...

I was in the Army, I was discharged in 2018, my MOS was 11B and did deploy to Iraq in 2017. I had no sick call history because I always "toughed" it out, and truthfully its frowned upon as a infantryman to seek medical attention (atleast in my unit) unless you were SERIOUSLY hurt. The only thing I had on record was a incident while deployed that involved some back and hip injury.

That was all, and...
