Hi Jeff where is the next episode? I want to learn the power source of the center console. PIS🥹🥹

What size are those bars? Nice bike.

I like this guy. Had me laughing

Wild...I separated in November, filed my BDD claim in June. I heard nothing from anyone about my claim other than the multiple calls I made to the VA and VERA. They all told me the same thing. "Your case is being reviewed and we will reach out if we need any more information." The same exact line given at least 10 times... You could tell that answer is on their script.. I just got notified today that a 3rd party company will contact me to "confirm" C&P appointments.. The audacity to make people wait 7+ months after they initially file, to only tell them they have to be here at this time and date and can only cancel once...I'm 2 months after my date of Separation and still no rating...It defeats the whole purpose of "Benefits Delivery AT Discharge"

I guess I was very fortunate. I saw a vso mid October and got a call from QTC, VA subcontractors in about three weeks. They were very polite and worked with my schedule for two different exams. My two appointments were completed by December 7th. I was awarded 80% on December 22 by VA. I can't really complain or say anything bad about the process except for two things. One, they gave me zero for hearing loss when I have a hearing aid in my right ear. Secondly, the said no service connection for TBI when no one has asked nor examined me for a TBI. I guess the VSO will appeal it when we talk.

🤦 'PromoSM'

Hey brother, I recently retired back in June and went through this process during my med board. I understand your frustration, but understand that what happened to you isn't the typical situation. I only say that because the VA is the best resource vets have when we get out and the horror stories outside of the norm do our juniors a disservice and sway them away from getting enrolled. I'm sorry this happened to you, but I recommend prefacing stories like this with a "this happened to me" or something of the sort.

was given 100% p/t for various things.. only took 11 years..... my deferred is a knee appointment. just think its odd that i was given a rating, backpay and the packets in the mail with one appointment still pending.

try fighting with them for 20 years even after getting a BVA decision in your favor...

People reading this, whatever you do, never use one of those unaccredited firms like VA Claims Insider or vet benefits. You have to pay a fee if you’re approved for a rating and quite a hefty one. Quite a few people succeed, but their practices are shady and some other similar institutions are being investigated. Yes, the VA is far from perfect and many employees with VBA and examiners are incompetent. That’s why you need a veteran’s service officer with Disabled American Veterans or the VFW. And yes, many of them aren’t competent as well.

I haven’t watched this video yet, but I do agree. The VA is a very rigged system. You have retired E7-E9 drawing 100% disability that never deployed to a war zone, in seemingly good health, and working GS-12 federal jobs and earning over $200,000 a year, yet war vets with serious mental issues lucky if they’re getting 70%. But my coworker is an exception to the rule. He’s 100% disabled, a retired E7 in the Army, and works as a wage grade cook like myself. He was airborne, jumped out of planes and helicopters, been in combat, and seen death. He told me he never used a veterans service officer, did everything on his own, was completely upfront and honest, and earned it. As for myself, I retired in 2011 and was 20% initially. Got up to 70% in 2016, 80% in 2021, and now 90%. It took a total knee replacement to get me to 90% and even when I have the second one done, it’ll still be 90%, per VA conversion chart.

The VA is trash when it comes to claims not always but most of the time.

Sorry this happened to you.

Yup, they are a$$holes.

They scheduled me and sent me to a closed location for bloodwork, even if that happens it will cost you a cancelation.

Hi Jeff, WOW what a great video. I really appreciate you honest and truthful story about filling your disability claim with the VA. I am 1000% totally in agreement with you about the 100 BILLION dollars Biden want to GIVE Israel and Ukraine, He wants to GIVE FREE money to people from another country half way across the world, when that money should go to Americans that were born here, worked and paid taxes here and especially who served our country like you have done, firts. And only after every veteran is fully taken care of and then and only then if there is any money left over, give it to other countries. I am a 74 year old Vietnam veteran, I served 18 months in Vietnam in 1969, and I have never filed a claim with the VA, or for that matter, I have never ever been to the VA hospital. So, I nee to get off my but and get a claim filed with the VA. I did file an "INTENT TO FILE" form last August. But I have no medical records or diagnoses. You mentioned you filed a a Congressional, what is that and how do you do that? Please help... Thanks for your service!

Bagged 100PT (160%) extra pay on top… from 80. You have too do it all yourself, no one gonna help you. You can also pay for help which gives you a much higher chance to success. But it’s all on you too bag it and takes years.

It took me 32 years from 0-100%

They screwed up by birthday by one year, yep HUGE pain in the ass. And I’m on my second submission because they screwed up my first submission, didn’t hear shit for six months and then it was an emergency to get everything scheduled, but at least they called me to get it scheduled. Sounds like you pissed up someone’s tree.

Denied babydoll. Deenein BDD claim huh benefits denied Dailey homey

They scheduled a C&P day before Thanksgiving but canceled on the day of the exam. I was upset because I had adjusted my schedule for them. This is a joke.

bro i fill your pain va jacked me around 4 years before my claim was handled.i have been out of the reserves 11 years pay has been good.its called bullet statements for government jobs USA jobs to apply Va wants you to die before they address your claim . va will give you backpay but very difficult true thank you and hopefully you will get what you deserve

@Jeff, I take it your still waiting ? For you and others out there. BBD was created with the intent of getting retired folks their VA compensation right at AD retirement pay date or close too it, normally not always the case due to each individuals case/circumstance. Also not all military installations are set up and/or operate equally. What is suppose to happen is this: 90-180 days out you attend ACAP/TAP. You learn how to file a claim and even register for an ebenefits account (which I think sucks). Separate from clearing the installation , the transition rep (retirement guru) provides separate events/documentation that needs to be completed prior to even receiving installation clearing papers, one of them being you visiting a VA Admin rep where you go over your medical issues (you physically ink this one as it's your intent to file claim). This person uploads this information and sends to the VA base examiner (thus coordinates for your exam(s)) and gets back too you for verification and/or stamp of approval. 60 days out all medical exams should be completed, this gives the VA medical rep/examiner handling your medical claim at the base/installation sufficient time to complete his medical write up piece (i.e. your medical claim). When he/she is done it gets electronically submitted to VA (therefore this would have prevented you from having your hands on it thus preventing any mishandling). Now back to the inked paper mentioned earlier, the VA examiner views your electronic military records searching for stuff that is depicted on that form you completed, should you find a injury that you forgot to mention you must quickly notify these same folks but its not the end of the world. Many of these examiners find more things anyways and place into a claim automatically for you, the lazy ones dont. Again more than likely your base was not set up picture perfect like this, the very reason you outsourced your claim in the first place. For you other listeners out there: Do your transition piece even farther out (I did 24 months out so I wouldnt rush things due to time constraints, I even purposely held onto leave burning it here and there taking care of transition pieces and maxed out terminal leave and permissive TDY doing the same. I even used these very same dates even up until last day of terminal leave building more medical evidence. Also should my claim outcome not go as planned or expected I had ammunition for supplemental claim(s) which I did do and it paid off. Side note: I continued to use my on base PCM until retirement. The benefit of base PCM at this stage of game still becomes part of STR (A key). @ Jeff again, I agree the VA sucks and needs major improvements. I didnt experience much change since first ETS except for the BBD and electronic bits and pieces. You should go over all your transition pieces to include the installation/base SOP and dissect it. Look for something that can trigger a request for reconsideration, waiver......

Maybe, you better contact a lawyer. There are law firms that deal specifically with VA claims. It's not any better with the Social Security Administration.

I’ve had ptsd for years … been in counseling for at least 7 years . Filed my claim after more than a decade because I have no faith in them . 11 months and waiting not even a C&P exam . Tell me you don’t care without saying you don’t care . Called the VA number & after a hr and half I got a guy that told me it’s being processed. That’s all he said . Shoulda hit the suicide button . What an absolute joke .

Jokes on THEM, I don't QUALIFY for benefits 😉👌🇺🇸 Nothing like a general discharge to wash away your service record.

All these rotation directives of the draft paperwork the alignment of some areas being business and I'm not sure where to corporation or the size and differences for having two area codes I don't think front desk knew the separation spread of which way you're supposed to be enlist in their names and months or years or which fax directives so everything got rotated in wrong insurance investments

But anyway some of these things are taking certain certification level people but it's just hit the certifications are only one-sided sites in between they have separation independence acceptance to govern in between by not showing certain reaction placements

Taking a post down you sound like a broken record right now That's what's happened all around front desk people wanting us to fill out w2s and w-4s to a line against our corporation or our employer so our employers not filled in that paperwork with us but if everything would have stayed quiet none of this stuff would have got brought out it might have been for y'all but it wouldn't have been for us and we still have this incorrect rotation and filing that's got these permissions on certain levels that cover it up and hiding procedure responses. Nick I went to the hospital and they knocked me out with fentanyl which is fine cuz I'm an addict but they sent me into a procedure without it my approval or out me understanding I mean they never even asked me I mean like when I went into the hospital which I mean I jumped out of a truck going about 40 mph maybe a little faster delusional a little bit I don't need no more extracurricular activities but anyways they gave me fentanyl and it knocked me out and they took me into another hospital and had surgery on me it went nothing major but they know during those times our minds are being read different or corresponding different or maybe they don't but with nobody consistently making front desk follow the correct directions it's not just front desk I guess it's rotations in between insurance misalignments The photos and these block alignments are having occurrences but what they're seeing to what they're being approved or not approved they don't have our agreements they have their agreements without our acceptance or they got acceptance of one or two certifications but one or two certifications got all 50 states and more punishment procedures past or inside of developing institution years I guess we never really like to paying some of our court fees off so I guess in Virginia we got a right to work state they're going to work you for the least amount of possibility you can see and you still do existential punishment during probation and sitting development

It's like this understanding right now like you got December 1st 2020 the representative placement where zeros at sometimes like dec 01 85 some of that's got different displacement inside a Wi-Fi like you said the pager filing which means your telephone cord is not being either enlisted or it's gotten switched out and replacements and then the months and violence to spreads tartar's turn into different insurance breeds or government allowances on which side and for how long

Do you think you should have applied into your inactive duty as a reserve a national guard for your injury

Do y'all not know how to align the abbreviation rotation with like military timing the other sides of like the dates years and months when they ask for them forwards backwards and in between or intuitive money what white representative You're supposed to be following with

During your time how did you perform your inactive duty cuz that's the time you're waiting on but would you do for your inactive process

Hello Jeff et al, I did 4 years in the USMC back in the mid-80's where I served as an aircrew member. Had the usual round of shots/inoculations. Spent some time in Okinawa, the Philippines, South Korea, etc. but most of my time was spent in Southern California. I did go to SERE School but I can't recall where is was held. Honorable Discharge. I'm not aware of any injuries or medical problems caused by / while in the military. There are a lot of veterans where I work now, many who have filed claims that have been validated and they are receiving disability payments. They keep telling that I need to file a claim, but when I ask them what for, they won't give me an answer. What am I missing here?

I’m sorry sir. But I have some objection to some of the stuff that you are saying in this video. First, many veterans who have been in the military that long don’t really know what it’s like to be a civilian because of all the time they did in the service. I feel like many veterans who did that amount of time don’t truly know about these processes because the DOD teaches you about the DOD and not a separate government agency like the VA. Unfortunately for one reason or another you were not educated about the VA process before you got out and that’s is why you feel the way you do. You are not the first and you will not be the last. Respectfully

Brother, feel your pain...... Experienced similar shit. The VES that called me expected me to get from overseas within 48 hours

I was on step three for ten months. Filed on Jan 17, 2023 and after two C&P exams they settled it on Nov 3, 2023 at 100% permanent and total. On Nov 9th VA deposited over 35,000 dollars in my bank account. Don't try to hurry them.

I totally agree that the VA is truly a ANXIETY INDUCING EXPERIENCE. Sometimes you feel like a burden even though you’ve earned and sacrificed for all the treatments.

Thanks for your comment. Glad you finally got a solid rating.

Benefits Delivery on Discharge. Submitted mine in July 2014 out of Fort Cavazos (VFW). Received 90% in December 2014. Fast forward to July 2023, 100% scheduler SCD after two subsequent claims.

A lot of people just talk or write some stuff on a board and then never take action. Either they don't truly intend to take the action or they don't know what action to take... how to go about it. We live in a very complicated world.

I was a Flight Engineer on the P3 for 10 years, and I made flash cards with index cards for everything...esp pwr sources. I had stacks of them. It made learning it all VERY quick...repetition works every time.

My older brother was in VP-10 when they transitioned from P-2Vs to P-3s. I worked on P3s in VP-23, I got out and had my own small plane within 10 years.

Pilots please know this for your 2p check but please don't touch anything. Ask your flight engineer...

Lt. Butterfly. Just push 'em up to the bingo light and let me eat my cup 'O noodles.

Great work. Can we have the power sources of other panels too. And also the pre flight you mentioned about.

Dam it I’m having nightmares again about my check and that was 20 years ago.
