Seeing that there was another Windows 8 question I thought about asking my own. If computer details are required it will take some time for me to get that because of 2 reasons at least: 1 8 was so odd compared to all that came before, plus my computer kept typing double " e " any and every time time I needed an " e " and 2 I was so frustrated with it and TRYING to get help; I purchased another new Tosiba Laptop from Best Buy for under $400.00 with windows 10.1 which needed to be returned the very next day because it would not connect to the INTERNET. The " GEEK SQUAD " insisted on trying " to fix it " after 3 hours and backing up the line of people waiting for …

I am a medically retired Marine with 15.5 years. I was retired in 2006. I was under the impression that you had to have done 20 years in order to be eligible or meet a portion of the criteria for CRSC. I am 100% total and permanent. I was rewarded 30% for knee injury by Medical Evaluation Board and retired, due to an injury simulating war games. I also participated in Operation Uphold Democracy in Haiti and suffer from PTSD and depression as a result of bagging bodies as a result of a skirmish with one of our line companies. Questions: Upon filling out the claim do I file for just the 30% for my knee, or do I include all of the things (PTSD and Depression) secon…

Hello Brothers and Sisters, I've been rated 100% P&T since January 2003. My single largest rating is for recurrent major depression at 50% followed closely by diabetes mellitus at 40%. I have a slew of others that push me over the 100% threshold. I have developed two conditions over the past several years that I wonder if I can get special monthly compensation for? I have a severe case of dupatryn's contractures in both hands limiting my abilities to type and grasp objects. I also have a severe case of E.D. that not even injections can help with. The VA has REFUSED to even evaluate these because I am unable to control my blood sugars well. My Gastropoe…

I see how to edit several other profile settings (at https://community.hadit.com/profile/22364-mark-d-worthen-psyd/?do=edit ), but not the profile image (avatar, picture, etc.). TIA, Mark P.S. TIA = Thanks in advance.

I am submitting medical bills to the VA under the Foreign Medical Program. Payments have slowed to an absolute trickle. For instance I received an EOB dated 2020 May 4 with a check dated May 6 just yesterday. Looks like the check just sit for 5 months after being printed. This is not counting the bill being 4 months old before they printed the the EOB and check. I know there is the pandemic going on. Is that the reason? The amount of money I am owed is becoming a burden. Thanks.

WOW I have been looking at this for a while and I really wanted to let it go but I really do not understand. How can I have 946 liked post yet it shows I only have 730 total posts. Is this VA math? Is this my paranoia or should I have less post than liked posts? I am very used to VA's shenanigan’s, but this is off, and I do not know how to explain it. I am used to VSO’s shenanigan’s, but something is not exactly right, and I do not know what to think.

Yesterday I had C2P exam of cervical back, I was in and out 15 mins, my question is how do I get a copy of the exam? Is it usual to have a nurse practitioner to do c2p exam? Last question is that the Nurse Practitioner said I have a rating ( which I do for Lumbar) this should be a no brainer but I am very skeptical of being what is being said. Thank you, Ken
