I would like to pick your brain on this ive been out for 12 years and havent gotten started yet.

@@marcaurelius2k226 Been out since '92. Haven't started yet either. G.L.

Same here, it took me 24 years to file a claim. Even then I only did it because it hurt more watching my wife see me suffer. As men we are so used to just not complaining but the people closest to us can tell something is wrong. The MRI and nerve conduction test only confirmed what I had been dealing with all along regarding back pain and weakness and numbness in my legs. It actually felt good being able to prove none of this was in my mind or being exaggerated.

Not easy for some, even if we get help theres a lot of barriers. Specially applying for that VA claim.

@@billkaminsky6255 Same here. First meeting with VSO 9-1-22

Great Point!!! This is so important to understand. And most of us will not be honest with ourselves, let alone a random doctor. Smh so true

for me it was easy. i would clean my house the day before. would barely be able to move my right side the next day lol

@@richardcaldwell5313 lol

@@Bigrobkerr well said brother I honorably served in combat and these people make me sick Complete scammers

c and p examiners are for the va so highly convence them that you have a major problem bring in current medical record ie copy bring your meds if any

You're right, with my current crpyto portfolio made from my investments with my personal financial advisor Stacey Macken , I totally agree with you

YES! that's exactly her name (Stacey Macken) I watched her interview on CNN News and so many people recommended highly about her and her trading skills, she's an expert and I'm just starting with her....From Brisbane Australia

Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 12 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life

This Woman has really change the life of many people from different countries and am a testimony of her trading platform .

Wow. I'm a bit perplexed seeing her been mentioned here also Didn't know she has been good to so many people too this is wonderful, I'm in my fifth trade with her and it has been super

The amount we receive for what we sacrifice is small for sure. As you mentioned though it is appreciated and used.

why did it take so long

@@sowop248 That is a good question. I wish I had an answer. At least the payment is retroactive to the day I filed. I would give the money up to be cancer free.

Thank You for your service! and your right it is a poor price!

Your health is your wealth. Thank you for your military service. I've heard that if you set foot on Vietnam soil, just to step off an airplane, you qualify for agent orange. Do your research and good luck. Hope this helps someone. And, THANKS for your service. Great video my man!

Youre exactly right @Austin. Combat arms are the most stubborn in that category, but one of the most deserving. It makes life SO much easier when you arent worried about where your next meal is coming from.

I'm surprised at how many of my old joes aren't getting any documentation built up.

Disability is for vets who need it You don’t use something you don’t need

@Shay Gordon, it is not a matter of needing or wanting. It is a matter of getting what you deserve. The VA makes the call if you deserve it, it’s that simple.

Well said! I was Infantry (11B & 11H) and was hospitalized at the transition from Basic to AIT (OSUT at Ft. Benning) with a dangerously high fever and a very bad Sinus Infection. Still waiting for my STR to come from being admitted to Martin Army Hospital. The National Archives is slow and, sadly, records weren’t yet computerized in the 80’s which makes paper the only route for recovery. I’m fortunate I was admitted to the hospital as opposed to just having gone to “sick call.” Oh yeah, I was lead squad leader for all of OSUT (only squad leader that never lost their leadership position), so going to sick call wasn’t allowed-Drill Sergeants made it known that anybody who tried to would be replaced and face consequences! Things were so different before Hipaa, video cameras and computer documentation… troops today have no idea. I’ve suffered through so many medical complications over the years related to my high fever, and chronic sinus issues (depression, anxiety and other things). Ignoring my issues served no one, and only caused me to lose out on being the best I could be all that time. I missed out on years of benefits that I should have been receiving, but that’s my own fault! I will eventually get the benefits I rightfully earned…

What did you do in the military that made you 100% disabled?

Thats the power of the DAV. They are able to see things that we may not be able to see ourselves. They know how to word things differently then we do

you can correspond with a relief officer on the Telgram appp use rna me below

I live in Montana, and I'm on SSDI can I apply?

@@sophiafindley4553 absolutely dear

These same check helped me a lot when my last check came in late

I’m just now getting out and been through hell so I didn’t even fight (70%). Everyone was saying “fight for that 100” but I literally had been f-ked over

@@ladyt9000 So you have 70% now and your trying to get to 100% correct? What did you try to claim and what happened if you don't mind me asking...

@@majikk9123 that is correct. I literally did nothing..it was all referred via MH due to multiple incidents of mistreatment in my career field. I just couldn’t take the BS anymore-I told them they could just kick me out💯

@@ladyt9000 I hate you had to experience that while trying to do something commendable like serve your country! Anyway, this is the point from all your past experiences. You'll never be the same again and neither will I!? It took me over 15 years to file and when I finally took it seriously I saw progress. I'll help anyone that served because I know the shit they pull. I don't know your life personally but it's worth going for it...I personally won't stop until I'm dead because I'm angry as fuck...

@@majikk9123 I understand. I’m not angry just highly disappointed on the level of injustice within a justice system (I was a police and the legal situation overall). It made me not look at just my workers differently, but the career field expanding to humanity overall. I don’t think I’ve slept normally, without a nightmare in over 4yrs now

Thank you so much. I’m glad to hear that your unit is flexible and allowing you to catch up on everything. Let me know how it goes. Best of luck.

You can still file to change or increase your rating.

Thanks for watching and commenting! Please share this vid with other servicemembers. We all need this info. www.militarycashflow.com

I just retired from the Guard, and did the exact same thing. Leave no stone unturned.

Howd it go? I have been injured multiple times training for the reserves but have never complained while on drill weekend, so VA is telling me nothing is service related. However I have everything documented.

Best of luck. I’m glad this was helpful

Glad we could add value brother, make sure to share the vid with any other servicemembers that may find it useful

I’m glad it helped

So true! It’s helps with stress of the transition when you know you have some sort of support and income coming in. I didn’t even talk about the peace of mind aspect

That is awesome to hear man, so true 😀🙌

You got lucky you didn’t lose a limb in combat son Then you would actually be disabled

@Papa Diagne thank you for the kinds words and thank you for your service as well. I have heard many stories like yours and it pains me to know that not every military leadership is sharing this knowledge to their soldiers, marines, seamen, etc. I feel honored that you find this information valuable. Thank you.

Glad it was helpful!🙌

Awesome. Glad to hear

I’m glad it helped

Hope it helped

Sorry to hear about the jump yet I perfectly understand. You’re doing the right thing by making sure it’s documented for sure.

Thanks for the comment bro! Please share this vid with others so they know what to do

I appreciate you man. Hope you’re doing well out there

Happy to hear it. That is what we strive for.

You're welcome 😀

Im glad it was helpful man.

Im glad to hear that!!

Absolutely. We aspire to help as many vets and service members as we can.

you're welcome.😀

I'm glad you think so. Thank you.

Awesome

That is awesome to hear. So happy it worked out for you. We have plenty of content on the channel regarding transitioning out.

What is dbb?

BDD = benefits delivery upon discharge. You start the process within 180 days of separation or retirement with the goal of getting your benefits paid out to you starting at or soon after your DOS.

About to start now (I'm still on AD looking to retire this fall). Any advice is appreciated.

I appreciate you taking the time to drop a like and comment brother

I’m glad you got something out of it

That's the military and VA for you!!! Lie, denied, and wait till they die!!!!

I’m glad it helped

Thank you. We want the next generation of service members to be better equipped then we were.

Glad you think so! Be sure to share it with as many people as you can. We appreciate you 🙌

@@MilitaryCashflow already did!

I will definitely be setting up those videos as well

Make sure to hit the notification bell and be on the look out for them when they release.

Check with your POA, VSO, or Accrediting Agent and determine which of your service connected disabilities are "static." If they are static they are permanent and cannot be reduced unless you file for an increase exam and the exam finds your condition improved or the Veterans Service Center (VSC) observes that there was a Clear and Unmistakable Error (CUE) associated with your being given the rating. The most common example of this is associated with character of discharge (COD). When a COD that does not meet qualifications for compensation were erroneously awarded a rating will get severed even if they are static. Summary: If your disability is deemed static and you have an honorable discharge you will not have a follow-up exam for it (with the exception of any CUE's or should you get a reduction due to filing for an increase and your condition being found to have improved). 38 CFR 3.327 (b)(2) explains the protections of static disabilities from routine future exams. Google 38 CFR 3.327 and you should find the list of conditions.

I’m glad these helped

Thank you so much for giving us feedback! Have you applied for disability?

@@MilitaryCashflow I just emailed a VSO to start a VA disability claim. I am planning to file it within 180-90 days till EAS. Hopefully, it goes well!

Aww shucks! Thank you! I love you too! Im here to help where I can .

Appreciate you 🙌🙌😀

Thanks. Hopefully it will help some people

Negative. Claiming does not automatically put you on the chopping block for medical discharge. Medical discharge is it’s own beast. Where you can’t even do your current job at all! A claim is just a compilation of all of your ailments over time.

@@michaelsglaspie thanks for your wisdom and clarification. I am looking forward to seeing more videos. Stay safe.

New video with Mike every Tuesday and New Podcast episode every Thursday. Make sure you hit that notification bell to not miss another upload 😀🙌

That is 100% right!!! Get what youre owed

Anytime! Hopefully it helps

I waited 30 years and finally got my rating for tinnitus. never knew I could file for it

The DAV is just one of many different VSO’s. You can choose whichever one fits your communication style

You’re right but unfortunately this is rarely spoken about until its too late. Thanks for the comment brother. Please share with other service members!

Marines didn't care about this stuff one bit.

What is crsc?

Combat related special compensation

Was SSDI hard to get?

Yea cost of non-VA doctors can be an issue. You can try to request an off post referral. But those aren’t guaranteed either

Yea, not all VA's are created equal. I actually wasnt a fan of the Fort Bragg VA system. But as soon as I moved to Charlotte it changed the game. They were on top of it

I went to Afghanistan in 2005 and the sick call area literally got blown off the map by mortars.It took forever to prove my injuries overseas due to the records being half destroyed in the process.

@@SPEEDFREAK6988 damn. But that wasn't taken into consideration?

You got any status update ?

@@jimmynvrz6925 still 60

I’ve been out 2 years and have severe depression, anxiety, ptsd, a hip impingement, and arthritis. The hip impingement has put me walking on a cane but I work a manual labor job. My hip impingement and mental deterioration make it next to impossible to keep up anymore. I need disability. I was active duty army, I mostly only went to sick call for shin splints… what should I do?

@@ewrgaming Make appointments to be seen by a doctor and tell them where you have pain.Also make appointments with a therapist to be seen for your anxiety and depression.Make sure to ask for a copy of your medical records and any notes that the doctor may have taken during the appointment.Make a paper trail first and then file for VA compensation.That's what I did.I made sure while I was in I left a paper trail and kept documentation of everything.

@@sequoiaedwards4782 Yeah I didn’t leave much of a paper trail unfortunately. That’s why I’m working on making one now and the doctor’s notes are specifically noting that the issue was caused by the service.

That sucks, i don’t think you were lazy just uninformed. Military does a shit job in this department. glad they’re reevaluating for you! Keep us updated. If you found value in this please share.

Great! Let is know how your appointment goes! Make sure to join our Military Cashflow Facebook group! www.militarycashflow.com

Listen I I have worked for the VA 9 years now and im also a Veteran. I'm telling you and begging you from one veteran to another please go and file and have your story heard and make sure you have a representative it is very important that you have a representative that understands VA disability law. I know it's hard to even talk about those traumatic events I'm telling you I understand please believe me but it is very important that you be compensated for what you sacrificed and what it has caused you. There are vso's and lawyers out there waiting to help you. I personally know someone who utilized a law firm called Jan Dils and they helped us Veteran get compensated every step of the way.

@@ddjj8 thanks for showing your support man. i got in contact with a vso and were going to talk more about my case later today. im anxious as all hell but im ready to finally do this

@@deepfriedicecream576 Thats incredible please keep me posted on the progress. Prepare yourself in case you run into any road blocks. Do not stop there keep going and be pesistent!👍🙏

@@deepfriedicecream576 Hey i was just wondering if you decided to go through with the process? And what VSO did you use? I am also in this position.

@@DaleNAdams-mx4lt I did go through with the process and I used a local law firm to help build my case for me. A few days after I saw him, i got my appointments scheduled. I had one already and the psychiatrist diagnosed me with PTSD after I explained my entire situation. Tomorrow I have a C&P exam to see what my rating is. I encourage you to do the same. Search up lawyers in your area that will help you build your case, and if you get a rating you disagree with, they will help you get a higher one. If you win, the lawyer will take payment in the back pay you would’ve decided from the increase in percentage. If you don’t win, you owe them nothing. Good luck brother

Yes, especially if your condition has deteriorated or another condition is linked to your current illness

@@caramelktx32 Thank you.

Most definitely request an increase. Also, remember to claim secondaries. For instance, migraines because of this injury, and mental health issues as well. Good luck

For sure that is something that can be considered for a claim. The process would be you would file a claim for your knee. The doctor you see will determine the extent of the disability. If it falls within a range (percentage) of disability then that will be added to your overall disability claim.

If the VA feels it needs more detail then the doctors may continue to evaluate and they have the ability to diagnose. So you don’t need it diagnosed right now

This sounds frustrating af! Don't give up though man!

Get a private Dr to give you a diagnosis and Nexus/Medical opinion letter- connecting it to service.

it is service connected and i wasnt really given any treatment plans after my assessment appointment
