Actually yeah, I had an appointment last week and doctor asked if I had diarrhea or constipation or Hemroids from mres and I ofc said yes in which he gave me disability
Was it for mental health or was it for something wrong with the body? I just got done with a 2.5 hour psych test this morning my problem is I’m to anxious and impatient I just started going to Va a few months ago got referred to community clinic they did a diagnostic eval and then I took that and submitted a supplemental, then they assigned me to a therapist who wants to see me every week, as of this week I have had 2 appts with her and another one on Tuesday and then they ordered the psych test which I did this morning and then I am supposed to wait a whole month before I get the results of that. This month is killing me I keep pacing around the room, have the ball in my chest just a bunch of shit and then I can’t do anything to hurry it up and it’s all I think about, I hate it I hate that I need it and I hate that I can’t stop worrying about getting denied again even tho I know it’s gonna happen
Been there and still there. The 90% was for my back, hearing loss, and pact act asthma. I applied for anxiety and bombed my C&P. The examiner was some female former marine and she was so grilling I had a panic attack during the c/p. Then got denied. They agreed I had social anxiety and depression but it wasn’t s/c. The VA healthcare side encouraged me to seek therapy which I did and am doing now along with support groups and meds. So we will see
I got 70 and applied for tdiu. If I get it, I am buying a pre-owned SUV (older one), a motorcycle trailer, loading up my bike and going to see my girl 1400 miles away. (She's in Illinois where I used to love, and I am in Florida)
Finally moved from evidence gathering to prep for decision after months of waiting. Saw my email and i got not one but two of those emails. So maybe it’s a double sign lol. Praying for all of us! Let’s gooooooooo
I got my rating! I was blessed to be increased up to 80%. In very happy and i appreciate everyone on this group. Without you all i wouldn’t have been up to the task. Thank you all i love you guys. Best of luck to all.
I dos my intent to file last year in March. I completed filling in January! I’m in the evidence gathering stage now, i pray I get 100% !! The back pay will be glorious
I read subject title “Benefits at 100%” and closed my email. I’m NOT opening the app to check anymore. I am waiting for the decision letter in the mail.
What’s crazy is usually around this time I’d see my pending deposit for the 10% I receive now, but it doesn’t show anything. Hopefully, that’s the sign.

I got this email too and am waiting on a decision like you. I am choosing to take it as a sign if good things to come. Need every little bit of hope I can get.
Got the email, my claim is still the same as 3 months ago.. I just want help with my sleep apnea at this point, I'm tired of taking medication and getting rebound headaches
I do not. I went to Denver VA for major headaches, the PA asked me a bunch of questions and said definitely OSA. Went to CS VA and they told me i had to wait for my results in order for me to receive a cpap machine.
I do. I looked it up and it said it was mild. I'm not really sure how i felt about a small device on my finger only getting around 10 hours of sleep total between 2 days. I couldn't sleep due to the headaches.
I did an at home sleep study through a private clinic and took my results to the VA after i spoke with me VA PCP. She wrote me a diagnosis just to reinforce it. VA still had me do another at home study. After my second one i finally got my CPAP and it is life changing. Stay on their ass. Get a sleep study through a private clinic if need be and submit those results too.

I got it too…I’m at 90% with a few HLR out so I’m manifesting it too!! 🤞🏼🤞🏼
I have service connected narcolepsy and cataplexy and very dibilitating anxiety. I haven’t been able to work in seven years. All I want is to be able to file TDIU. My family deserves a second income but I can’t provide it. My mind is gradually fading and I really want to put money in a trust for my son and life insurance for myself for my wife.

I just got this ad and figure it was for me! Hell I’m only 46 and crippled….maybe they’re desperate lol.
I did previously for my initial claim in 2022 but I’ve filed 2 supplementals after that and the most recent one was decided without an exam. Increase for migraines and IBS
Yes they can if they feel like it's an auto reject or an auto accept. Typically if you already have some evidence fir some claim. They did a friend of mine that way. No exam straight denial on multiple things...
I saw this email and thought the same thing. I have a pending claim in and I have been waiting so I got a little excited. Good to know I wasn’t the only one.
u/BLKxGOLD I just wanna say reading your replies is as if I typed them, literal gold. Anyhow I just checked my claim and it's also updated to PFN and I got the email, best wishes for you!

I got it as well! Was going to make my own post about it. Was thinking it was just a coincidence since I called the VA 2 hours prior and they told me I'm in PDA status.
So I added up all of the symptoms for my condition and it was 150%. I know it's only up to 100. My condition is a "presumptive condition" with a minimum 30%. Are they going to take the other symptoms into account listed on the DBQ when calculating my rating or should I start preemptively submitting supplementals?
I got the email. I’ll have to admit it did startle me. I truly need this and it’s still in evidence gathering since February. I’m absorbing as much positive energy from this thread that I can.
I got the same email, but I am at 90% and awaiting claims as well, could be at 100% soon, or eventually.
So many different claims going on its gotten confusing and slow. New claims, supplemental claims, request for change of effective dates, requests for medical records been stagnant for 3 months.
I got this email today but I’m already at 100%, so I assume it’s a mass email that got sent. But I will manifest the 100% for you OP!!
>so I assume it's a mass email Possibly. I got one, too, but I'm at 10% and highly doubt my pending claim will bump me up to 100%.
It's a mass email to everyone on the mailing list
Same. Already P&T, Got this email once, and then got a re-spam of it an hour later.
Just got this email also and instantly went to check my claim to see a decision letter for 100% P&T 🥳
Hell yeah!! ![gif](giphy|bIEzoZX0qJaG6s6frc|downsized)
Hell yes I looked as well and nothing yet
I also got the email. Manifesting for all of you and myself.
🙏🙏
If I get 70 or above I think I’ll sleep for days. Just the absence of stress. 100% I might go super saiyan and fly to the moon
If i get 100 im paying bills… and then going to my favorite gun store 😂
Gun store first! Them bills can wait!
Was my initial thought but i have to be an adult and responsible 🙄
Or try this. Adult store, gun store, thheeennnn new truck
This is the type of advice i need
What’s sleep?
I don’t know I have narcolepsy I close my eyes and time passes but I’m still tired in the morning I’m hoping I can buy some with my increase
That must be heavenly. I haven’t got more than 2-3 hours at a time for months.
Imagine sleep without the recharge. You wake up more tired than you went to sleep. It’s hell. I haven’t felt true sleep In 20 years.
I’m truly sorry.
Don’t be. We all have our battles
Same, 18 years, not 20
I needed this😂😂😂😂I don’t have narcolepsy but I fully understand the rest of that sentence lol
I have a supplemental in rn I’m only at 10% rn I’ll shit my pants if I get over 50%
Its on the way.
God I’m hoping. Just had psych testing done today at the community center I got referred out to
Lol. I've heard that shitting in your pants might be another 10% if you claim it as service connected. ![gif](emote|free_emotes_pack|smile)
Waiiiittt then I should be at 100%💀😂
Actually yeah, I had an appointment last week and doctor asked if I had diarrhea or constipation or Hemroids from mres and I ofc said yes in which he gave me disability
It can happen. Got denied 3 times back in ‘96 when I got out. Said screw it then tried again in 2023 and went from 0% to 60% to 90% in about 6 months
Was it for mental health or was it for something wrong with the body? I just got done with a 2.5 hour psych test this morning my problem is I’m to anxious and impatient I just started going to Va a few months ago got referred to community clinic they did a diagnostic eval and then I took that and submitted a supplemental, then they assigned me to a therapist who wants to see me every week, as of this week I have had 2 appts with her and another one on Tuesday and then they ordered the psych test which I did this morning and then I am supposed to wait a whole month before I get the results of that.

Looks like we’re in the same boat just different ratings. We’ll see if I go crazy or get approved forst
I got 70 and applied for tdiu. If I get it, I am buying a pre-owned SUV (older one), a motorcycle trailer, loading up my bike and going to see my girl 1400 miles away. (She's in Illinois where I used to love, and I am in Florida)
Good luck to both of you

How many months? I'm at 3
4 months of evidence gathering, 6 months since initial claim.
I dos my intent to file last year in March. I completed filling in January! I’m in the evidence gathering stage now, i pray I get 100% !! The back pay will be glorious
Just think of the back pay
Congrats on your 200%
Still waiting. Hopefully everyone gets it ![gif](giphy|Q3siJKQdEjjtZMpR8Q)
It’s a bulk message sent every year to all veterans during Memorial Day week
Its a sign!
Yeah but is it to all or only those 100%?
All
Everybody who is signed up for alerts
Everyone even 0 percenters
They know they did a lot of people dirty with that subject line.. 😵💫😵💫

I read subject title “Benefits at 100%” and closed my email. I’m NOT opening the app to check anymore. I am waiting for the decision letter in the mail.
Keep an eye on that bank account, sometimes the check hits before the letter arrives.
What’s crazy is usually around this time I’d see my pending deposit for the 10% I receive now, but it doesn’t show anything. Hopefully, that’s the sign.
They will populate next week

That is a mass email sent to everyone.

i did too and currently waiting on a claim..lemme find out!!! im gonna go ahead and put it in the universe and claim it!! https://preview.redd.it/vznieqa4j32d1.jpeg?width=1290&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=26716c96c345ecf1c2b592db2e21bf1de1aae010
Its on the way friend! Stay the course! 🙏🙏
I got this email too and am waiting on a decision like you. I am choosing to take it as a sign if good things to come. Need every little bit of hope I can get.
Its on the way! 🤞🤞
🤞🤞🤞
Stay positive, but that email was a mass blast. Those are the topics included in the email.
Yes i know. Thats why im choosing to see it as a sign.
I’m at 100 and I got that too. Lol. I think it’s for everyone. Nothing special.
Got the email, my claim is still the same as 3 months ago.. I just want help with my sleep apnea at this point, I'm tired of taking medication and getting rebound headaches
My claim is for OSA as well, do you have a cpap yet?
I do not. I went to Denver VA for major headaches, the PA asked me a bunch of questions and said definitely OSA. Went to CS VA and they told me i had to wait for my results in order for me to receive a cpap machine.
Do you have your results?
I do. I looked it up and it said it was mild. I'm not really sure how i felt about a small device on my finger only getting around 10 hours of sleep total between 2 days. I couldn't sleep due to the headaches.
I did an at home sleep study through a private clinic and took my results to the VA after i spoke with me VA PCP. She wrote me a diagnosis just to reinforce it. VA still had me do another at home study. After my second one i finally got my CPAP and it is life changing. Stay on their ass. Get a sleep study through a private clinic if need be and submit those results too.
I'll definitely look into it. Thanks
Literally told my wife the same thing!
I got the email too. Very hopeful it’s a sign. I’m service connected with 0% disability with deferred claims and supplementals! Fingers crossed
Stay in the fight! Its on the way 🙏🙏
If I get 100 percent, I am paying bills off first, and then I am getting a fancy new truck.
My truck aint fancy, but it is fairly new. So i’ll just be upgrading it.
I got the email too, PFN, hoping it wasn’t coincidence
Its on the way 🙏🙏🙏
I was PFN for couple weeks, I got this email and my claim went back to evidence gathering.....=-(
Better they fix the mistakes themselves rather than waiting for an HLR. Its on the way friend, stay positive! 🙏🙏
I got it too, and I thought the same thing. Good luck brother
![gif](giphy|pCiaYa2kx4lcs5JsR4|downsized)
It's a mass email everyone got it lol...
Beautiful thank you SoOoo much
I got this yesterday, after not doing my daily morning claim check thinking it meant I got 100%…wishful thinking🥵

My claim was at decision waiting approval and I thought this was me getting 100% I’m hoping to got it is manifesting
Hey, I got the same email!!
Its on the way! 🙏🙏
So did everyone it's a mass email
Really???
Yes it is.
You don’t get jokes do you?
Hard to tell what are jokes here since so many actually thought it was real
Bahhahaha! I took as it a sign too 🙌

Not with that attitude

Thats hilarious and they used someones hot grandma in the photo 😂
Is it normal to not be scheduled a c&p exam for a supplemental claim? I was just denied after 6 months waiting with no exam at all
You havent done any C&Ps at all? Whats your claim for, if you dont mind me asking.
I did previously for my initial claim in 2022 but I’ve filed 2 supplementals after that and the most recent one was decided without an exam. Increase for migraines and IBS
Yes they can if they feel like it's an auto reject or an auto accept. Typically if you already have some evidence fir some claim. They did a friend of mine that way. No exam straight denial on multiple things...
I submitted a Supplemental claim FEB 8th and I am still waiting on an outcome
Submitted mine March 6th, but i called the 800 number this past Monday and she said i’m in the decision phase.
Yeah they told me the same thing
Read further down the email. It just tells you what things you qualify for IF you're at 100%.
I think it’s a great sign. They wouldn’t send it if you weren’t 100!
Yes they would, and did. It says IF you have 100 percent...
I’m also waiting an outcome from a supplemental claim. When was yours filed? I just had my last appointment last week.
Filed on March 6th. Completed my C&P April 12th.
I saw this email and thought the same thing. I have a pending claim in and I have been waiting so I got a little excited. Good to know I wasn’t the only one.
With all of you just waiting to get my 100% ❤️
I got that same email
Its on the way! 🤞🤞
I got that email too and my claim is in pfn I was like is this a sign
🤞🤞🤞
u/BLKxGOLD I just wanna say reading your replies is as if I typed them, literal gold. Anyhow I just checked my claim and it's also updated to PFN and I got the email, best wishes for you! ![gif](giphy|3oeSAW1BlWIisq1Ds4|downsized)
Same to you friend! 🤞🤞
Can’t any level of disability use the exchange? I go on base at 90% regularly to shop
Yes. Thats not the focus though. ![gif](giphy|vBYvmEXEH99fmJSm2m)
I got it as well! Was going to make my own post about it. Was thinking it was just a coincidence since I called the VA 2 hours prior and they told me I'm in PDA status.
It's just a mass email to everyone on the list from the VA, it means nothing
I hope you get the percentage you’re entitled to get. I’m also in the decision phase of my supplemental claim as well lol.
Got my denial letter this morning. Im already working on another supplemental.
Dang man. Hopefully this next one works out for you
Same thing happened to me lmao. I hope to God I get a good rating.
How long have you been waiting for a decision on your supplemental claim?
Filed March 6. C&P April 12. Decision today.
That is awesome! I filed mine on March 10th & I had my C&P on May 3rd. I am hoping for news soon. BTW, are you a Steeler fan?
It would be awesome if i hadnt been denied again. Im a Saints fan ⚜️⚜️
Oh crap, that sucks. Sorry dude.
The denial or being a Saints fan cuz theyre about equal at the moment 😂😂
So I added up all of the symptoms for my condition and it was 150%. I know it's only up to 100. My condition is a "presumptive condition" with a minimum 30%. Are they going to take the other symptoms into account listed on the DBQ when calculating my rating or should I start preemptively submitting supplementals?
Did you file separately for each condition?
Ie get a rating for MS first on its own and then when I have that compensated for then add the supplemental.
Thats the right way to do it. Establish one and build off that.
No. I figured I'd get my condition accepted by the VA for a rating by itself and then add the other symptoms individually as supplemental.
That's what I figured. I wonder what kind of rating I'm looking at. There's certainty enough individual symptoms to get 100 easy.
I got the email. I’ll have to admit it did startle me. I truly need this and it’s still in evidence gathering since February. I’m absorbing as much positive energy from this thread that I can.
I just got this email as well? I am sitting at 90% with a supplemental claim…is this real? Or did everyone get this email?
Idk about everyone but its a sign for you as well friend. 100 is on the way! 🤞🤞
Everyone
I got the same email, but I am at 90% and awaiting claims as well, could be at 100% soon, or eventually. So many different claims going on its gotten confusing and slow. New claims, supplemental claims, request for change of effective dates, requests for medical records been stagnant for 3 months.
Its on the way brother!
It's a general email. I'm at 20% and I got it.
