Who has VA Disability?

[O.T.I.S.]

Nov 6th is when my claim moved to evaluating evidence. It made it to preparing a decision letter today. I may get it tomorrow. VA is moving fast.

Congrats brethren

Make sure you get that backpay if it’s been taking years on your claim

Between this thread and the expat one, sound like you living it up breh

Put in for ED and spoke with a nurse over the phone last week. The claim is currently in progress. An extra $150/month if everything goes well.

You sure bout that? I did the same and got the meds and no dough. My dog down in Augusta did and he got the bread but that was like 5-6 yrs ago. Thought they stopped doing it

I got the approval letter with the new adjusted monthly amount. The direct deposit will come within 10 days retro'd to September. I'm good to go.

Did you file a claim? If not, file one online and they will reach out to you to set up a phone interview with a 3rd party physician. You'll answer a few questions and the review process starts immediately.

Plain and simple.

It's got to tie back to one of your disabilities. I put in for ED cause I take chlorthalidone for high BP, which can cause ED. They give me 20 cialias a month. My BP is service connected. That SMC-K hits nice.

I literally got medical retirement for high BP due to PTSD but not actually rated for hypertension I didn't think you could get rated for hypertension

Yea. Ties into my HBP and the “meds” they had me on. Ain’t no thing. I get 10 pills a month

Yeah you have to have high BP while in service. If it's controlled with meds it's 0%. To actually get a percentage you have to be over like 150/90ish. Basically in territory you don't want to be. I'll take my 0% happily. I went through my medical records and if it's in the CFR and in my records I submitted for it. I got everything and I am 100%. Took a lot of work and many years but it was worth it. Don't listen to what people say if you got an issue and it's in the CFR then file. If you have several records showing HBP then submit those as evidence along with current treatment. Current treatment is huge.

Anyone ever qualified for the clothing allowance?

They seem friendly enough but the sex would seem boring.

Depending on when y'all were there, did any of y'all ever go to the pink light area not too far from Gate 2 street?

There used to be a massage parlor across from Kadena Main Gate where they'd bathe you after the massage. I only went once, but there was a married Puerto Rican cat who worked in our motor pool on Torii who was on a dependent restricted tour who went religiously.

Spoiler

Them chicks at the bath house gave the GOAT handjobs. That ain't even my type of thing, but yo, old girl had me thinking I had been jacking my shyt wrong. IDK what ancient Ryukyuan technique she was using, but it's been damn near 20 yrs later, and I still think about that broad from time to time

I got my medical records and my BP wasn't a problem till after my accident then it was high enough for them to send me home.

After I got a no field no uniform profile I knew I was gone

I think army doctors push people out with weird profiles I laughed at a guy with a no helmet no tactical vehicle profile

I knew a solider from Kenya and darkskinned who was given a no sunlight profile

And I thought this chick with a soft shoe no run profile was getting over she was in the army longer than I was

I haven’t looked into it yet. My Wife literally told me this morning, I need a back brace. Due to the clothing manage to a back brace, plus the cost of a brace itself, clothing allowance could be approved.

Any Brehs on here went through the process yet? Any tips?

 

[Belize King]

I just want to say, I appreciate all the advice on here. I never thought to apply until this thread. Shout out to all the Coli battle buddies. If you all ever want to come out to Oki for a few days or weeks, you got a place to stay if I’m working.

Special shouts out to @General Mills @Wiseborn @O.T.I.S. @DeeezNuts

I probably forgot a few but you all have been dropping gems for years. Looks like me and another poster are freshly through the process. Anybody have any questions, I got you.

I just got approved for ED last month. I’m working getting my last 10% to get to 100%. Had I got 50% for migraines instead of 30% I’d be there already.
