If I disappear for a day or two it may be that my power went out. They are expecting a big storm here.

I am writing my memoirs and would love it if you could help a shipmate out and look at it.

I've had a few challenges, perhaps the same as you. I relate them here to demonstrate that we can learn, overcome, and find purpose in life.

The stories can be harrowing to read; they were challenging to live. Remember that each story taught me something I would need once I found my purpose, and my purpose was and is HadIt.com Veterans.

Tbird,

Keep your fingers crossed it might blow around you, if not keep it there. Here in KY it is 72, and climbing.

Do yourself a favor.....buy some gold and silver! The printing presses are in overdrive.

Tbird,

It is a very cooolddd storm.Brrrrr - Yesterday we were in the high 70's and today we are windy with temps in the low 30's. This is very drastic and cold front. Stay warm and have some hot tea or cocoa handy.

It was 80 yesterday in Dallas. Right now its 31 and snowing. West of here the weather is a problem. Expecting a hard freeze but its supposed to move out quickly.

Veterans deserve real choice for their health care.

It was warm here yesterday too.

1 Degree. We got 2 Inches of White Stuff and 2" this AM. Just got done moving it around on the sidewalk so the snowplow and put it back on.

It's kinda nice to see, Knowing I am not going anywhere.

21f Today. Darn Heat Wave. I think I will change into shorts and go site outside and read my new book for an hour. Maby bring a Cold Drink with lots of Ice (I sweat after 30 min and need to rehydrate).

Can't beat the Hot Tub for a Reading Place. It's 101f in the Hot Tub. Darn the Stereo went out in it (Repair guy suppost to be out today).

http://www.apollospas.com/ (I got the Ranier).

I will be thinking of you TBird. Hopefully the Lights Stay on! Keep Warm I will splash some water out in your name!

    • VA Disability Claims: 5 Game-Changing Precedential Decisions You Need to Know

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

      Tbird,

    • Are all military medical records on file at the VA?

      RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,

      I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection

      Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,

      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”
