Wife & I are in the process of buying a house, so I looked up the property tax exemption. Apparently, it reduces the actual value (up to $200k) of your home by 50%. This would mean approx 20% off our prop taxes for this house. I'm not even sure if one could find a house in Colorado worth $200k...

Well, this is pretty much right on par with how everything else has gone for me with this joke of an organization. Wow! "Veterans Affairs Dept. tells Capitol Hill it won't repay underpaid GI Bill benefits recipients The news conflicts with a promise VA officials made to a House committee...

Have any of you experienced this? VA is saying they are going to pay me $16 a month less than what the BAH amount is for my school's zip code in Denver, CO. I was thinking about just calling the 800 number, but I was wondering if there is a reason for this that I don't know about. Is this normal?

Can we please get rid of this jackhole?

First & foremost, I hope y'all are having some wonderful holidays!! I was hoping maybe some of you guys/gals that are familiar with Voc Rehab could lend some advice.... :) 1. About a year to year and half ago, I applied for Voc Rehab but was denied due to being on SSDI. The counselor said that...

Does anyone know who I should contact about problems getting an appointment using the VA Choice Program? About 3 months ago, VA Urology forwarded me to the VA Choice Program to get a semen analysis done since the VA doesn't do that procedure. Long story short, I've been going round and round...

"All recent U.S. military veterans and their families will now be offered in-state tuition rates to public colleges and universities throughout the country, the White House said on Wednesday." Does anyone know the legitimacy of this and when it possibly would go into effect? My wife might be...

Today, someone from the AFBCMR let me know that my claim has been forwarded to the board. I have some concerns/questions that I am hoping some of you excellent guys and gals can help with. It appears that ARC Case Management is recommending denial for back pay for the times I was taken off...

Does the choice card program apply for those that are within 40 miles? I've read both, that you have to be over 40 miles away and over 30 days and I've read that either one makes you eligible. Almost all of my appointments are over 30 days, but I'm within 40 miles. Also, does this apply for...

Had my orientation for VocRehab, today. According to my counselor, I am not able to use VocRehab bennies while receiving SSDI, because I have to be able to work full-time on a daily basis at the time of orientation. He mentioned that I should re-apply for VR when/if my condition changes and I am...

I was medically retired 28 October 2014 (100% P&T, less than 20 years, no concurrent pay authorized) and received my final VA awards letter 14 Jan 2015. On the 1st page of the letter, it states that I was paid the difference between retired pay & VA disability for the months of Nov & Dec 2014...

Today, my lawyer told me some good news and bad news. Apparently the SSA docs all agree that I am totally disabled, however, SSA is saying that they cannot pay me disability benefits while receiving pay from military (only after mil pay stops and VA disability kicks in). I've been medically...

For all of you that are eligible and going to apply for the SGLI Disability Extension: I mailed the application to the VAROIC in Philadelphia, PA on 6 Feb 2015. I called today to get a status and found out that the application is lost somewhere in the system, ha ha. Apparently, the VA is now...

I'm 100% P&T and just started the appeal process for SSDI. I was wondering if applying for IU would be smart to help with my chances of getting SSDI. If I did get IU, would I automatically lose my P&T rating or would the IU just be inlcuded in with the 100% P&T rating?

Just wondering if anyone has a claim in with AFBCMR. From scanning the webs from a few years ago, it was several months wait time. I sent in my claim about a month ago and I'm really hoping I don't have to wait long. Anyone know how long claims are taking now?

So, I'm at the stage of filling out the Function Report form that is sent to Salt Lake. I was wondering if anyone had any tips or suggestions for filling out this form. The questions really delve into many activities. I'm scared if I say that I can watch TV or something they'll claim I could do...

Does anyone know of any exceptions to the 60 day leave sell rule? Due to the fact that I wasn't allowed to take leave during the MEB and such a short turn around from the decision/retirement date, apparently I maxed out my 60 day leave sell. I now have 16 days of leave that is lost.

Just received my disability retirement order. I'm a little confused by a couple of things, hopefully someone might have an answer... The order states the following: SERVICE FOR BASIC PAY: 11 yrs 06 months 19 days ACTIVE SERVICE FOR RETIREMENT: 04 yrs 10 months 24 days SERVICE PER 10 U.S.C...

For those with little ones. "Dr. Thompson is referring to the CDC’s vaccine-autism fraud which has been a decade-long cover up and has put millions of infants at risk. Infants, especially African-American boys, were willfully exposed to a high risk of autism from the MMR vaccine – if the...

So, I met with an attorney yesterday to discuss my future AFBCMR application. It didn’t go that well, but a couple things came out of it that I now have questions about. Before I get to that, I will explain my situation as short as possible. Jan 2013, I started RPA orders. I was in travel...
