Finally convinced 79 yr old Vietnam Vet FIL to file claim for his extreme PTSD last year. He just got awarded 100% P&T and a week later he was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer.

There’s no way he’s making it 10 more years. Posting here to see if anyone has DIC experience with less than 10yrs or if there’s something else I missing for MIL to benefit from after he passes.

Need to get a job/career. Any tips and tricks to get an opportunity? Never held a federal position before. Looked at over 1000 listings and pulled up about 49 and trying to work that list down. Currently feel overwhelmed with how exactly to apply to 1. Thanks.

I had a shoulder injury in Iraq, non- combat. All I have is 2 sick call slips one is the initial visit and the second is because I still had pain. Both have written comments by the Dr at that time. Is this sufficient evidence to use to file? I cannot find any other paperwork. Ty.

I’m using a hypothetical because although this is a real scenario, I’d rather not post my specifics so if the made up scenarios off, go off the gist please.

​

say you got some degenerative injury while in. Let’s say broken neck that was getting worse and was leading to full paralyzation. The va noted that. You started at 0% and every couple years they upgraded you. At 50% you got in a car accident...

Has your claim been taking the scenic route or did it take the express lane this week?
