ArNG11 Posted June 1, 2013 Share Posted June 1, 2013 congrats I just checked mine and the status changed to claim complete. I can't pull any info on it. I am in the hopes that nothing changed from what I was told by the VA rep that called me. Fingers crossed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vet12 Posted June 2, 2013 Author Share Posted June 2, 2013 Thanks for the congrats. I received official word confirming yesterday. A few years ago I remember Pete53 saying he was cautious of telling friends about a win. He is right. I was selective and told one friend who was very happy for me. But yesterday I told another friend and got a different reaction. I guess my wife and I will be happy and tell no one else. At least I can celebrate here. Arng11, I hope things work out for you. vet12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly I have my own predicament to deal with at home. Other than posting my news here I have only shared this news with my mother and two good friends at work. I dislike that I feel I have to do that, however, I am still content. As the saying goes, "one step at a time, one step after another".

Notorious Kelly Posted June 2, 2013 Share Posted June 2, 2013 I agree it's good to limit who knows things; I just say I'm retired, which is true. When you park in disabled spot or mention "disability" to some folks, they want to put you thru THEIR 'claims system' as well to see if you merit what you got; chances are - you won't pass. So why bother? We've jumped thru enough hoops and the world can kiss my butt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I base my opinions on what I see and my personal experience with them. I try not to judge and assume things, because I don't know their whole story.
