Increasing Veterans Administration Service Connected Disabilty Rating

[Sarg]

Good! The combat awards are a big plus. Maybe don't flood them with too much, they confuse easily. Try to condense the strongest evidence and supply them with that. Yes, DAV is your service org. but your claim is 100% yours. Take ownership of it and know who's doing what.

Welcome back, Dawg. Glad you made it back in one "relative" piece.

I want my emotional quality of life to improve.

Hey Dawg,

That's a good goal to shoot for. It can happen over time. It will always be a struggle with the VA, it's a hard thing to accept but it's best for you if you can. Keep organized and on top of things. But I'd also suggest not 'dealing' with it on a daily basis unless you need to. You don't want it to consume your life, which it can. You want the focus of you life to be about you and what you want for your future.

To further what Jar said...don't try to take the beast head on. You'll lose. Just makes you tired and him pissed. Around here we call it baby steps or one foot in front of the other. There's a way to finesse him but as Jar said it takes time. Your beast is entirely different than mine and takes a different technique.
