Glad to see you back!

Hello... thank you for all of your amazing advice. You are more appreciated that words can express. I do have a question that I hope you can answer. You speak about a nexus letter, but how to I get one? Should I ask the C&P professional for it outright, or should I ask my VA doctor? And at what point should I ask? After all exams have been submitted for review or during the exams? Thank you

why are they predicting the cola, when, everybody know, cola is based on the third quarter which don't end until sept 30, and usually the consumer price index, usually goes down in the third quarter to make sure that the poor don't get much of a pay increase, it may be above 10%, but at the end of the 3rd qt, ea yr, it's cut in half, purposely, sometimes cut two third to three fourths

100% just keeps getting fatter and it's glorious, and well earned and needed. I got my reward upgrade last year from burn pits in Iraq and I hope everyone else can get to work on theirs. Thankfully, I didn't have to fight for mine. I got mine on the first shot, which I am forever grateful for. The second doctor's opinion was crucial and if the VA never scheduled me for a second opinion doctor appointment I would have been denied for burn pits.

Welcome back!

I do have a couple of questions about secondary claims, there are also a couple of conditions that I am now medicated for.

Hello, thank you for this content, it’s very helpful.. So, I am 90% (p/t) and have been receiving pay at the 100% rate via TDU for 2 years.. I understand that if I choose to work, I must stay beneath the income poverty threshold. I am thinking about taking a job as a ski lift operator for the ski season (Jan-April) The employer is allowing several accommodations for my service connected disabilities. If I work 24 hours per week at a pay rate of $20.00 per hour, my gross income will be a little over $8K and below the income threshold… Will the VA consider this “substantially gainful” since I would technically be working at a rate above the poverty line for four months? Or, will the VA just go off the income I earn during the season? If they simply just go off the income I will be below the poverty threshold. Edit: what if for example a veteran makes 12K in say three months and then stops working and doesn’t earn any more income for the year?

Hello…I lucked up and came across your channel today. Thank you for the valuable information. Can you do a video on female specific claims such as hysterectomy and fibroid issues caused by military service? Thanks in advance!!

Good afternoon thank you for your video and channel. I have a question as I am very frustrated and I think I’m definitely doing things wrong. I am 11 1/2 year vet Army Desert Storm. I registered for the burn pit. I’m currently rated 40%. I got denied for diabetes, GI issues. Although I have had 4 Gi bleeds I got approved thyroid at 20% tinnitus 10% and the scar. Which was horrible due to 3 thyroid surgery 10%. Everything else secondary and supplemental denied. Even though I was seen for gi concerns while active

Just found your channel today. Very good. Are you a veteran yourself? A lawyer? Or just a Sister in Arms helping us all (Like Combat Craig except he’s a Brother in Arms;) I liked and subscribed too.

Hi I found you by accident looking for any new news re life insurance coming soon in Jan 2023. But I began listening to you about vets who are already 100% service connected can get more cash on a additional secondary issue like what I have now Gerd or Acid Reflux .I am on a VA med for that.But I've never reported after I was declared 100% many years ago. My question ... How would I go about requesting additional secondary?. I always thought that once you are 100% you are max out for the funds being received by the VA ? . Anyhow,I liked your video,saved this and also subscribed. Thank you SergeantC

I plan on requesting a supplemental claim ( still within one year now ) and use doctor notes and diagnosis from a knee surgery that he did about five years ago on my already service connected knee (that is more than 20 years old and protected 5257 ) to support my request to be given an additional rating of pain on flexion and worsening arthritis. I plan on including the doctors diagnosis and articulating in my personal statement how he identified my stage 4 level of degeneration and more. Does this sound good?

You're back!

Tom, I’m a Vietnam Vet just recently jumped to 70%. My nose was injured in Nam and was not able to seek treatment. It healed without treatment causing problems. Upon returning to California I had surgery in a military hospital before being discharged. Do I need a nexus letter or can I just let the VA use my service medical records or just see my own ENT doctor

You need a nexus letter from your Doctor to reply to the VA on your disabilities conditions.

This gives me the biggest chub ever

Hello and thank you for helping us vets ☺️ I have a quick question. I'm looking to file a claim for my back and knees and already have medical documents and my chiropractor on standby for when I'm ready(he will be writing my nexus letter). The only thing is....I'm pregnant. I'm less than two months away from delivery, should I wait until after delivery or go ahead and file? Anyone feel free to offer any suggestions or advice. Thank you.

Hi happy 4th of July on guam i have a quick question? Im already a 100 percent va compensation i want to file for the SMC because my health is gradually becoming to hard to bear with i have serious PTSD And its been getting worse currently rated 110% permanent disability but only collecting at 100% rating thanks again gary.

I’ve been hearing anything up to a 10.3% cola change coming. Crossing my fingers, the economy is killing me.

I was declared 50% service connected in 2018. Since then, I have suffered a heart attack followed by 2 stent insertion surgeries. How do I go about seeking an increase in my rating?

I think 🤔 our VA coach has gone AWOL ?. It's been months.Hope she is alright ?... SergeantC

Being at 100% , how would you increase your monthly compensation?

I have a question for everyone. If someone has a successful VA Tinnitus claim and is awarded the 10%. How do you add or combine additional clams to that original successful claim ? Such as hearing loss or migraines or whatever. Will they be separate claims? or different ones ? Is it better to combine or not ?

15% that is what it should be

We have missed you glad you are back?

Well ask Seniors & Disabled & Vets who were on Medicare and on QMB Medicaid but since the rise in COLA these vulnerable people were dropped from QMB Medicaid because Feds raised SNAP food stamps income poverty guidelines by thousands & raised Women, Families & Children income poverty guidelines by thousands but the FEDS never raised the QMB Medicaid for Seniors & Disabled....So now Seniors & Disabled going bankrupt because medical care & medication costs along with rent, gas, food, etc.. So God help Seniors & Disabled now dying & suicides going up in this vulnerable group! But every all Senators, Representatives in D.C. & States (mine Gov. DeWine & Peterson) do nothing all the while Seniors/Disabled suffer badly because FEDS didnt care about your mother, father, children, or maybe you like me!

We are impervious to recessions and inflation, we're fcking superheroes!

You are so beautiful 🥰

Would you be willing to get on a call with me to help sort out my appeal?

so is this final? We are really getting an increase?..if so this is great because we need it

I disagree with you. If you file for more claims you can lose what you have already!

for 2023: upcoming COLA will be between 10.5% and 11.4%.
