Office Depot in Johnson City, Tennessee offers a 20% discount to veterans. I'm not sure if this discount is location specific or across the board at all locations.

So this company sent me an offer to drop my mortgage rate down 3% to 2.5%. No out of pocket expense to me. All fee financed in new loan. To me it seems too good to be true. Has anyone ever used this company? I'd hate to ruin my first home purchase by refinancing with a scam company. Any help/ knowledge is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Hello, I'm wanting to refinance my VA loan, since my credit score has gone up. I get tons of junk mail about it. I just want to know who's legitimate, please. This is my first home and first year of my VA loan. Thank You, Jason.

VA Compensation Issue - What Does It Mean?
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Question Posed: So my appeal was closed on July 15. I haven’t received my letter yet, but under the issues tab on va.gov, where it used to say the items I was appealing, it now says “compensation issue.” Is that normally what it says just when they close the review? Has anyone seen any other terminology in that section?
Answer:
Compensation issue simply means your claim is for disability compensation as opposed to some other kind of claim Maybe an upgrade for discharge for example. Most claims that are submitted are designated compensation issues. Nothing to worry about.-

Members Create Your Blog
Tbird posted a question in VA Disability Claims Research,
Create your blog.
Sometimes you have more to say that doesn't fit a community discussion. Maybe you are passionate about fishing, cooking, reading, it's your choice. The same guidelines apply to the blogs that apply to the community. The two biggest are no politics and no religion. Facebook or someplace else is the place for that, it is not here. Creating your blog allows you to expand on what you have to say.
Do you find yourself typing the same content again and again?
Create a blog post with that content and then all you have to do is link to the blog post.
This gives you two main advantages
You only have to type the content once, a great time saver.
If your content changes due to law or regulations or for whatever reason, you only have to update your blog, and wherever you link to that post will be linking to the most current information.
Check out the video below.
Have questions? Ask it in this topic and I will do my best to answer.- 0 replies

How do I upload evidence online to support my disability claim?
If you’ve filed a claim for disability compensation, you can continue uploading more evidence for up to one year to support your claim. Evidence may include supporting documents like medical test results, doctor’s reports, and other records. Upload your evidence online now.
If you’re waiting for a decision on your disability claim, you can upload evidence to support that claim using our claim status tool.
Upload evidence using our claim status tool
Note: For any other type of document you’d like to submit online to us, please use the QuickSubmit tool through AccessVA.
If I filed a standard disability claim, when should I upload evidence?
Upload your evidence as soon as you can.
You can continue uploading documents for up to 1 year from the date we receive your claim. But, if you don’t provide any evidence or give us the information we need to help you get evidence within 30 days, we may make a decision on your claim earlier.
If we decide your claim early, you’ll still have the rest of the 1-year period to provide more information or evidence.
What happens if I upload more evidence after I’ve submitted a fully developed claim?
We’ll remove your disability claim from the Fully Developed Claims program and process it as a standard claim.
If we decide your claim earlier than 1 year from the date we received the claim, you’ll still have the rest of the year to provide any additional information or evidence.
