There was a group who had an office in the Admin building of the Michael Debakey hospital in Houston Texas. This group helps veterans file claims. I don't remember the name of it. Does anyone know what the name of the group is?

2016-2021 AD Honorable Dishcharged 2021-2023 NG Other then Honorable (AWOL)

So long story short i have a honorable discharge from Active Duty with 100% VA Disability then i went AWOL when i went national guard and got a Other Then Honorable Discharge (couldn't do it anymore)

Character of Service: B Loss of Reason: CW

Hey everyone, i recently started terminal and im approving my DD214 on NSIPS so it can finish being routed. I noticed two things in particular i was hoping to get some info on

Under line 16 Days Accrued Leave paid i have a balance of 14 and id like to know if those are leave days that i will be paid for.

Also under my awards i only have 1 of my 2 NAMs listed.

Im looking at getting GS job with the DOD and im curious if and how those two things, particularly the award, could matter moving forward. Thanks!🤙🤙

Left service a few years ago. I went to college and was denied re-entry to service for a reserve officer program due to “chronic insomnia” after excess melatonin use (which was noted in my therapy session) and “questionable” depression, as DoDMERB put it.

Now I’ve just received this letter in the mail denying my claim for depression. I was never able to get the mental health appointments I needed through the VA and had also hoped this would help me get more assistance.

At least they were nice enough to leave that nice “Veterans Crisis Line” number on the envelope… any advice helps.

As the title says, I just received the decision letter stating my mental health claims have been denied. After reviewing the reasoning they gave, it states that there is no proof of my depression, anxiety, or insomnia. Apparently, there is no documentation of me being prescribed my medications either, even though I was put into LIMDU for it.

I have no idea what to do. If the Navy didn't make any accurate records for me or my medical information, is there any way to prove that this actually happened? I need advice on what to do, please.

For context,

I just exhausted my Post 9/11 benefits and have began using the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM extension. This is my first semester with that so maybe it's related to this. I received my disability today but not my housing allowance so I logged into va.gov to find out if it had been posted yet but instead I found a hardship payment being sent to a Chase Bank account (which i don't bank with) for an amount of ~$5000. This is much less than my tuition so I want to think that it is unrelated to the STEM extension.

Any ideas?

Hello! I just got a job at the VA to do some administrative work at the learning center. I am a veteran who deals with anxiety and depression so I use medical marijuana. I wanted to see if they still do drug tests for pre-employment. I am nervous this is such a great opportunity but I don’t want to mess up my chances of working there.

I just started using the Edith Nourse Rogers STEM scholarship since my degree is five years long and I ran out of benefits. I thought I would just have my school paid for as usual and receive my housing allowances on the 1st of every month, but when I checked on the status of that I found this.

I have no idea where this number is coming from, or where it is going to. My tuition is much more than that so I am not sure where it stems from. Any ideas? I didn't file for any hardships so I have no idea what this is. I also don't bank with Chase.

Has anyone got the VA home loan? I applied for it today and I'm nervous. There's a house near where I live now that is for sale. This will be my first home to own. I have lived on couches and in apartments for years now.it would be nice for a change to have more room and stuff. Anyway I hope you all are doing well.

A marine veteran friend of mine needs help getting his 100%. He has 90% currently and he told me that he was checking his claim earlier and that it's in the evidence gathering phase and it should be done in August of this year. Just spoke to him again and he told me that the date got pushed back till February of next year. Any advice on what he can do to expedite the process or help in any way?
