Sleep Apnea
Posted on
I’m using a CPAP to sleep, it hasn’t been working for me to well. I manage to wake up every night to take the mask off my face without really noticing.. I guess my mind/body doesn’t like it at all. I was told that I won’t be getting 50% VA rating for this anymore. Is it true? Also, where do I go to talk to somebody about getting a better mask. I got out active duty on August 18. Please help.
No Deployment w/ PTSD
Posted on
If I’ve been getting treated for multiple MH issues at the VA for PTSD / Anxiety. / Depression can I get service connected if I was pulled off the deployment roster because of a heart condition and a heart procedure then was medically separated? Survivors guilt has fucked with me during that whole time and now… I’m also not getting any rating for my heart as they tried to say I was born with the...
VRE, Going to Law School, Question about Scholarships
Posted on
Hey everyone,
I just completed a Bachelors using VR&E, and my VR&E plan includes law school. I am preparing my law school application materials now. Most law schools offer some amount of scholarship or grant money to students above their median LSAT and GPA.
I read (somewhere) a while back that since VR&E is paying for school, I can request that the school disburse the scholarship money to me as...
My disability filing
Posted on
When I got out of the AF, I was told at the transition briefing to send in your medical records, never know what they may find. I was told to organize the medical records. I did it in one of those brown pronged folders. I made a table of content listing initial dates of hospital visits and illnesses. Example: 1. 20 January 85 sinusitis (closed) 2. 4 March 86 migraine (ongoing) I placed all records...

Hello fellow vets I’m reaching out to y’all to ask is it wise to do one claim at a time or multiple? I just put in my Mental health claim but didn’t put in any of my General Medical claims yet? Should I wait or just put them in now?

Question about meaning of mental health rating
Posted on
So on the Va site my rating says ‘Generalized anxiety disorder with depressed features’, does this mean both anxiety and depression? Or just anxiety? Wondering bc I’ve also been diagnosed with depression, but not sure if I claimed it when I filed, does anyone else’s rating say the same? Thanks

GI Bill
Posted on
So I just found out that because my DD 214 was wrong I only got 50% GI bill. I got out quick nothing was explained to so I was dumb and used 30 months of my GI bill on 50%. Now that I have proof took a while to get that my narrative should say disability not non-disability I filed a dd293 to get the narrative fixed. Is there a way to get the money (the other 50% if tuition) that I paid out of...
PLMD
Posted on
I got out of the military recently, but while I was in I had a sleep study done and I had 69.8 limb movements per hour meeting PLM criteria that’s over 1 movement per minute, and it greatly affects mine and my husbands quality of sleep. I was just curious to see how the VA rates it because on another media platform someone said it could be rated 10 to 60 percent. Does anyone know how that gets...
Finally hit 100
Posted on
My claims closed out and I’m now 100% P&T. This sub has helped me tremendously. I did all this by myself without paying for any nexus and no in service complaints. I can finally buy some of the things that my kids have been asking for without tapping into my work checks. God is good!! [link] [comments] |
