Hey Robs, and whoever else reads this.....
I think I'm just gonna piggyback on this thread because it has to do with VA..I also need your help.
For some reason, out here in Colorado the VA wouldn't help me 'til I was out and I had my DD214's.
Well, So now as you know, I'm finally on TDRL, I finally have my DD214's and I finally have the strength to go back to the VA with my paperwork.
So I went today and I was going to have them help me fill out some of the paperwork-I get very irritated-very quickly these days. I think its been the stress of it all. Well I went in today-and they were closed for the holidays
. Federal Service-how soon I forget.
I will go back on Monday-well, that's my goal.
What should I expect???
What is it that the VA is going to do for me? so sad, I've been reading all the threads about backpain.
Missed the VA ones.
I never did get the physical at the end of service -like a lot of people mention getting
...The NARSUM was written, I came back to Colorado, MEB/PEB was done and I was put on TDRL. Never a physical.
I think for me---I want a physical just so we can start documenting what my condition is....I also need to find out why my thigh keeps withering away...its not like atrophy...well maybe. But its wierd.
So, why do we go to the VA to begin with? Is it to get the physical and the evaluation so we have a "proper rating". Then there may be additional school benefits, etc. Is that right?
What do I need to know? Should I be asking for something specific?
Thank you.
