If you have direct knowledge, report it. Fraudulent claims hurt VA funding, liars should be turned in and prosecuted.

It helps to ease the financial burden. After all, it is still federal funds being transferred.

How does this relate to being service connected?

There are a lot of occupations that require the same skills and effort as house flipping,some even less. I think that would be pushing the envelope.

I may be in the minority, but need to know what the BCD was for. This helps me reach a better informed decision.

You say cannot work, then you say sedentary work. That is employment.

What a story!!! And so many of us are very grateful for everything you have done to make the path to care that much easier. Information gained on this site is a blessing.

I like the new changes. They are easy to navigate.

Why worry about "what to say"? Being honest is the best answer. It is not a scripted situation where you need to say certain things to get certain things. Being honest gets you what you deserve.

Just take test and be honest. There is no "help" on how to get 10%.

Try being a little proactive and get what is needed. The more you wait to be told, the more frustrating and time.

Wow...pretty hardcore and opinionated against any and all VA. I have had good treatment, good representation from my rep. Everybody is different.

I really feel for ya dude. I would feel the same as you. However, the VA has to stand behind some sort of policy. An exception can open Pandora's Box to a lot of new problems.

Just be truthful.

That's it...start an "us versus them" post. If this isn't the "entitlement" mentality of the younger generation, I don't know what is. If you deserve what you apply for, you will get it. Remember the elders paved the way for you. Your work should pave the way for others. You won't get handouts.
