    How will the refusal of the Covid vaccine affect my meb?

    Ron, First off bot or not you are a stud my friend, don't let anyone tell you otherwise. However in regard to colleges being held to the fire, you must look at the context this source is written in. Terms like according to CDC and up to this percentile, create a buffer. I agree there is...

    How will the refusal of the Covid vaccine affect my meb?

    You know I am not telling anyone what do to and I know being military you are owned, no doubt (primary facts here). However, your source here is still an opinion piece and does not hold any primary substance. Just because you did not pull it from FB means nothing, still a college giving feedback...

    PTSD & MDD

    Hello, PTSD and MDD will be rated together under the mental health standard. So, no they will not be stand alone ratings, but a totality.

    Do VA examiners include medication side effects when determining ratings?

    Yes, I would get a doctors option personally and not just for this issue. This could be very useful not so much for the MEB, but for the VA after the fact. A current diagnosis from a license professional is one of the prerequisites to getting proper compensation. If you have any issues get them...

    Military members and mandatory vaccines

    There is a lot of information on side effects, but many of which is not primary sources and debatable to say the least. There is no way to know all of the side effects short and long term at this point. Anyone that tells you other wise I challenge them to produce the facts, stay informed and...

    Military members and mandatory vaccines

    Yes, I agree as well we must stay informed, but this data in of itself to me is questionable. The CDC in my option has become more political lately, and the sheer amount of independent variables that exists alone allows for this quantitative figure to be skewed beyond usability. You did point...

    Do VA examiners include medication side effects when determining ratings?

    I was successful with my ED claim via medication side effects. So, with my example yes, but I had a proper diagnoses and medication for this issue. So, don't rely on word to mouth, get a doc on your side outside of the C&P exams.

    Military members and mandatory vaccines

    Personally, I see both sides, but I fear the potential results of either. Never in our lifetime have we seen such a controversial issue with a broad range of data being driven by anecdotal stories. Facts are being jaded by fears and that scares me, but we will see what comes out of it. I thank...

    CRDP

    Also I am hopeful that the legislation will change this. However, the time this will take is unpredictable, to an extent.

    VA// QTC Exam

    I agree with Chaps, sounds like potentially the doc already had what he needed, and maybe did his or hers homework. I had 12 on my general QTC and it lasted about 2 hours, a lot of ROM testing. However, it's an easy paycheck for the doc, as long as you got the medical diagnosis. Could go either...

    My Experience

    I am grateful for the 50%, and I am not even worried about my situation (to an extent). I think about others that can't cope with the mixed news, maybe some people are more emotional about it. Also, I will be getting all my copies my VSO said they will hook me up, I need them for CRSC claim...

    My Experience

    Hello, I was processed out through a MEB via DHS, and due to this no VA examines where completed in service. I waited until my out date and went the fully developed claim route due to representation at the start of the claim. I could have gone BDD, but due to my personal situation I chose not...

    My Experience

    Hello, I am currently waiting on the VA to give me my ratings, but I figured I will share some feedback. This all took place on 07/08/21. Overall, what I found is the VA and the contractors (QTC) are basically lost children with an IQ to boot. Here is yesterday’s exchange. Call number 1 to...

    VA.gov/ebenefits timeline

    I put in a claim on 5/14/2021 and finished my last C&P exam 06/11/2021. I am still waiting myself for the proposed and finial decision. Also, important to note my claim is not BDD it is fully devolved with a VSO. My experience thus far is not impressed with attention to detail and constant...
