I got concepts of a plan.
Yes, I have a few prescriptions. It sucks because I haven’t done any group therapies though. Because I’m in and out the country, it’s hard to schedule them. I’ll try again soon though.

It is initially confusing. I had to read up on it because I thought I was getting railroaded
About disability ratings | Veterans Affairs
We assign you a disability rating based on the severity of your service-connected condition. We use your disability rating to determine how much disability compensation you’ll receive each month, as well as your eligibility for other VA benefits.If you have multiple disability ratings, we use...
www.va.gov
On that link is the calculator and it describes how they come by the ratings. You are technically at 88% but they do round up.
That last 10% is a motherfukker.
My ratings are
70
50
20
60
10
Which puts me at 96. When I was 90% ( technically (86%) I had to get a another 70% to push me that last 10%
see if you can't have a one on one by zoom. they had a few with me in Colombia and I'm at 100% Play the game with them they'll provide the evidence for your claim. That's how the VA works.

Doing mental health C&Ps today. I have to drive to Athens from Atlanta. Any advice?
When they ask you How are you feeling Don't say Fine say something vague like I'm making it.
Whatever issue you're claiming you'd better have evidence or show signs of it, Meaning if you;re crazy have some evidence that you did something crazy.
But don't overdo it overacting will get a denial.
Just understand that the Doctor is actually on your side if nothing's wrong with you there's no reason form him to have a job so just agree to 90% of his prompts.
Good luck and if they offer you treatment especially counseling take it.
If you are a Veteran and have not filed for Disability, do it now. This thread has all the info you need, so there is no excuse

Yep retirement and VA checks cleared through schwab not Navy Fed or USAA, file a claim you served you deserve it.
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.
I saw my primary doctor a few weeks ago and mentioned it to him. I got a prescription too with about 3 refills, so it's documented.
Hopefully everything works out.

Step 5 of 8: Rating
We’re deciding your claim and determining your disability rating. If we need more evidence or you submit more evidence, your claim will go back to Step 3: Evidence gathering.Moved to this step on November 7, 2025

ED is the easiest gimme in the VA. Every dude should apply it's not even a rating per se. There's no real evidence required no C&P exam just tell them you got it and almost anything can be a aggravating factor for it. On BP meds? Evidence On PTSD meds? Evidence. Back issues evidence. TBI? Evidence.
If you're rated for anything I'd apply for this. In Fact I suspect soon it will go the way or razor bumps too specific to Men especially Black Men.
I didn't know it went up 50 bucks there's a 2.8% increase in January Happy Veterans Day!
Yeah, I told her that I've been getting symptoms since COVID. Just capped off the top of my head.
I have keloid skin. Can I file a claim for that in relation to razor bumps?
You can try but razor bumps been dead, I had a shaving profile ( non permanent) and I filed for it and no rating.
Maybe Keloid scars is differenr but too specific to Blacks I think to get approval but file and see what happeens.
Between this thread and the expat one, sound like you living it up breh
I'm still considering a move out there

I finally got my C&P’s about to get scheduled. I have to postpone my stuff due to being out the country. I get back and called on August 23rd to have the BA put me back on schedule. It took them up until yesterday to get me back to scheduling.
But, they didn’t do mental health. In June, I got a mental health appt. I called Liedos yesterday and they said to call the VA. I called the VA and they said they sent me a letter. You can access your letters through VA.gov so I looked at it. They want me to write about my ptsd experience and provide my records. Luckily, I’m diagnosed through the VA citing my experience.
Has anybody gone through this before? Because I have a diagnosis, does that mean I will probably skip the mental health C&P?
My buddy said his migraine claim was just a questionnaire. Dude got 50% based of his questionnaire.
I never wrote anything I don’t think. I lost my cool during an appointment and doc was just like
My homie just talked as well. Never even went to the VA before that. We got into an argument and I guess that inspired him to go and follow through.
Got it out the gate even though it took like 10 years to get him there

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.
