Have 5 profiles in total, 4 in home and 1 remote paid for with the plan. Just noticed I got 4 emails about me successfully deleting my profiles, and sure enough all but the main profile is gone. No one here deleted their profiles though. I checked the FAQ and it was useless, google says log out and back in which didn't work. I'm at a loss, here.
I'm confused and a little annoyed. Any suggestions?
For the last 8 years I have been told repeatedly by 3 separate VA therapists, and two different VA pharma docs that under no circumstances does the VA do adult Autism Spectrum or ADHD assessments. It was hinted at but never said out loud that their policy was "due to the implications".
Once I got a service connection and was eligible for Community Care I asked my MH team about getting a referral for an ADHD assessment and after 6 weeks of trying to get a referral I was told I had an appointment to eb assessed.
Here's the thing, I was sent to the VA Hospital 45 minutes away to be assessed by a member of the specialized mental health department. Sat through 5 and a half hours of scripted testing and questions from someone who seemed like they had half-way memorized a script for the process and they repeatedly stopped the session "for a brief pause." I spent about an hour split up in 6 "breaks" sitting in a waiting room down the hall from the area where they house the 72-hour holds.
Almost a month later I get my telehealth appointment for the results and the same guy is stammering through his findings and not coming out saying "Yes" or "No" to the diagnoses, just hinting heavily at his opinion that I should use traditional methods to maintain focus like working in a noise free environment, or putting a do not disturb sign on my office door. Dude, I don't have a goddamned job anymore, and when I did I sure as shit didn't have an office, much less a door I could close with a notice to be left alone. He implied that my lack of focus and executive dysfunction was due to my depression and I just needed to stop being sad and my brain would work better.
So, the VA denied me a service saying they didn't offer it, when I got access to CCN they give me a referral but it's at the VA. So either through ignorance or deliberate stonewalling they misled me for years. Then I get an assessement that seems to be focused primarily on how best to function in the workplace. No mention of how this affects my actual life outside of work or how my issues affect my friends and family. It seemed like he was looking at the entire thing through the lens of "what is going to ensure this doesn't cost the VA anymore money?" when I have no intention of trying to capitalize on this, I just want to get better.
I don't know what to do, I want a second opinion but this entire situation reeks of the typical government strategy of "make things as hard as possible so people just give up and go back to being miserable but obedient worker drones". I am unable to work, I am filing for TDIU, I don't have the money out to seek an assessment on my own dime, and at this point I am not optimistic that the VA would recognize the outside assessment and provide me with any care to treat it. I really want a second opinion, but I am losing what little faith I had in the system up to now.
Maybe I'm overlooking something here, but I have an issue using the L4/R4 as shifter paddles in Horizon 6 on PC.
First off it seems like a glaring oversight that those buttons aren't recognized and bindable in the controller set up in game. The Elite controller has back paddles, and I would have thought those would be detectable on the Elite or the Pro 7.
In game the second you switch to Manual transmission the game binds Up/Downshift to B/X and then the functions of B/X get swapped to Start/Select which is just awkward. I decided to go into the Nexus app and bind L4/R4 for B/X and B/X for Start/Select... only problem is now when I downshift near another player's car it pops up the contextual menu for that player...
Does anyone know how to force B/X and Start/Select to work normally without binding L4/R4 to a random keystroke on my keyboard? I tried swapping it to NumPad 4/5 but the B/X Start/Select still swapped with each other.
I feel like there is a simple way to fix this, but I am either too tired, frustrated, or stupid to find it. Thanks for any help at all.
Apologize in advance this is going probably going to be a lot.
Not long after the death of our third child in 2015, I bought a house under FHA as I was denied a VA loan due to "insufficient surplus income". At this point it was the first interaction I had with the VA since I separated in 1996. Shortly after closing on the house I was fired. I did find work, but the gap in employment put me in a hole I couldn't get out of and I filed Chapter 13 in 2018, was fired again, found another job and the shit attorney I had informed me that my plan amount had gone up 50% based on my payrate and that I had to carry my own homeowner's insurance because the mortgage company cancelled it without informing me. I told him that wasn't possible and the mortgage company carried PMI to protect the property for themselves, meaning I can't file a claim.
2020 hits and I get laid off due to Covid. The same attorney tells me that I can pay what I can and it will be fine. He lied. I found out the bankruptcy was discharged when I found the notice of Sheriff's sale stapled to my porch. I refiled Chapter 13 with the same lawyer, it also got discharged and I had to refile in 2023 with a different (but equally as terrible) attorney.
I was fired from my 22-24 job as retaliation for organizing a union at work and there is an active ULP charge against the company filed by the Union, but the NLRB is currently a ghost town thanks to DOGE. Up until last week I was working another job (part time recently) because of my mental health and being rated at 80%.
Welp, life has continued to life hard AF. In the last month my SO's car needed $2400 in repairs, and my hot water heater needed replaced to the tune of $1500, and I had used close to $5000 of my back pay getting us current on all of our bills and her credit cards. To make matters even more overwhelming I have gotten an e-mail from the attorney that the trustees need money to keep the plan from being discharged, and a phone call from the city compliance department about how I need to demo and remove my garage that has been falling apart. (because I don't have homeowner's insurance, thanks to my lender)
I have been paying into this chapter 13 plan for more than three years, the payout amount is under $20K and then I could just pay my mortgage like a normal person instead of bringing home roughly $4.90/hr like I have been for the last 8 years. The demo of the garage is going to cost at least $6K, maybe as much as $12K.
The mental stress of dealing with my lost mobility, depression over not being able to play with my kids even if I had the time, the loss of my child compounding that, working 40+ hours a week in thankless and tiring jobs for less than $5 an hour take home, being fired for fighting for job security and better treatment for work, and then watching my ULP sit without movement for 2 years, has me ready to just walk off into the woods to live in cave.
With my work history and everything that has happened centered around work and how it has negatively impacted my mental and physical well-being I'm going to try for TDIU, but I'm not holding my breath.
I guess what I'm asking is this, are there any reliable resources for a veteran who is, by all accounts, screwed? Financial advisors, loan or grant options, a spec ops carpenter who will make my garage disappear in the dead of night? I'm at my wits end here. I feel like I have done all the right things, and I'm just stuck on the downside of the see-saw. I don't know what the fuck to do.
TL;DR: In bankruptcy #3 and behind, city breathing down my neck to fix an issue I can't fix or pay to have fixed, and currently unemployed with an 80% rating. Looking for resources to help figure out how to get about $30K in debt figured out, without robbing banks or selling crack.
So I discovered that my hotwater heater in my house has rotted out and needs replaced. I'm a disabled vet and can't manage this sort of repair anymore, so I 'm looking for recommendations on an installer that is reasonable. Thanks in advance.
