It’s been months since Seattle Sperm bank sent the email about our vials being held and our donor temporarily being taken off the website due to the FDA administrative issues. I called 2 weeks ago and still nothing. Has anyone heard anything? Me and my partner just used our last vial we had on IUI today and Seattle has 2 more in storage that they won’t release.
This man is doing the lords work 😂
I had a C&P exam on July 22 for several secondary conditions related to my already service-connected foot conditions. The examiner’s opinions weren’t favorable, and I was pretty discouraged. Fortunately, those claims were deferred rather than denied.
Today I received my latest FOIA request for a different claim, and I noticed several new C&P medical opinions dated August 17. I was confused because I haven’t attended any additional exams.
After looking through the documents, I realized they were ACE medical opinions completed by a different provider. They reviewed the same July 22 exam and the same secondary conditions I claimed. Unlike the original examiner, these opinions are favorable and directly disagree with the July 22 opinions.
Has anyone else had this happen? Is it a good sign when the VA orders a second ACE opinion and it comes back favorable? I’m trying not to get my hopes up because after reading the original DBQs, I was convinced these claims weren’t going to be granted.
Project Juniper is now sending door knockers out around ABQ!! This is what they left at my door.
I submitted a mental health claim back in March, and I’m on Step 5 now, so at this point it’s just a waiting game. To be honest, I’m anxious and scared about the outcome. I know a lot of us feel that way.
One thing I’ve learned through this process is that I need to be grateful for what I already have, regardless of how this claim turns out. My initial rating wasn’t high at all, but it opened doors for me. It gave me access to VA healthcare, the VA home loan, and helped me get my GI Bill benefits back. Those things have made a real difference in my life.
I know denials hurt, and I know how easy it is to get wrapped up in the anxiety of waiting for a decision. I’m still struggling with that myself. But I also try to remind myself that good things can happen, even if they don’t happen as quickly as we want. I waited six years after leaving the military to get my initial 20% rating, and looking back, I’m grateful I didn’t give up.
I’m still nervous about my claim, but I’m trying to focus on gratitude instead of fear. No matter what happens, I’m thankful for the benefits and opportunities I’ve already received.
I hope everyone here gets the outcome they deserve, and I wish all of you the best of luck with your claims. We’re all in this together. 🇺🇸
My 2001 stalled a few weeks ago, I believe due to the fuel pump. I kept trying to start it and it got to the point where the ignition won’t move. I can get the ignition to unlock and to ACC but I cant get it past that. Also when in ACC none of the accessories work either. I can’t get the window to roll up or the radio on. The battery is brand new. Anyone else ever have this issue?
