So I've been cleaning up my cabling and workspace, and I did the Kickstarter for the the Shadowcast 3 Pro and Covert Dock 3, both fantastic, however, I stumbled upon a Genki branded splitter, HDMI, USB-C and USB-A and for the life of me, I can't wrap my brain about what this splitter would be used for.
Hope everyone had a great weekend! I just have a general question and I don't even know how to go about it without it being a pain going forward.
I'm 100% P&T, my daughter (19) is going to school using Chapter 35, she's also getting ChampVA since she's still in school. She lives with my wife and I, and it's my understanding I can claim her until a certain age/when she's finished with her schooling, but she goes full time intermittently. When she was out for the summer (as she's about to return back for the fall semester), the VA sent me for a from to add her as a dependent, but I filled the form out online when I first got my rating and they denied her. I'm so confused on this process, because it almost feels like it's a yo-yo type deal, she gets the benefits in school, when she's out I get the form to verify, rinse and repeat.
Does anyone have any guidance to where it's mostly just automated or should I just give up adding her as a dependent all together since she's getting her education benefits and healthcare?
In my earlier years I opened several credit cards (nine in total). I racked up quite a bit of debt across most of them. When I was awarded my disability from the VA, I paid all of them off. But now, I'm stuck with a 5-10 service fee monthly for most of these cards, which isn't much, but across several cards, adds up to a substantial amount of money spent on absolutely nothing. I have a fairly good credit score (730), and I'm wondering if it's best to just keep spending those service fees, or closing those accounts and taking the hit to my credit score?
As I've stated before in my previous posts, as per the VA, I'm 100% P&T, and I know SSDI uses an entirely different rating system.
Any suggestions or tips for a smooth exam? What should I focus on primarily? The CE is slotted for 45 minutes, but my C&P for the VA took three hours, so I've got to find a way to get my point across favorably in such a short time. I'm only 43, and honestly, I’m expecting a denial, so I'm not getting my hopes too high here. The biggest things against me right now is the VA is dragging to get my referrals in, so right now I'm only being treated for a pinched nerve, pending referrals for sleep study (for severe hypersomnia) and psychiatrist.
Good afternoon all.
I was recently terminated from my most recent job because of my mental health conditions (100% P&T Army Vet). I won't go into specifics here, mainly because the HR case was so vague and had no way to fight it due to HIPAA laws. Anywho...
I filed for SSDI somewhat recently, got some forms in the mail, sent them back with the pre-paid postage envelopes, then received notices from my local SSA office that those forms weren't received. So I filled my form out on the SSA website (Functioning Adult) and my wife printed out a duplicate and faxed it to our local SSA office. I have my first phone call on the 2nd, but have already talked to the lady that is handling my case, and she set up a comprehensive evaluation with a psychologist for the 22nd, and she's already obtained all my medical records from the VA, the local hospital and the pain management clinic in which I'm seeing now.
My question is, as much as I see people talk about how slow the SSA moves, is this normal at the beginning then down to a dredge, or is it possibly just the area I'm in? What should I expect in the upcoming few months?
