    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    Chandreas Barkley is her name. I will say I am a bit surprised that Optimum (the contractor) is continuing to follow up. I suspected I would just fall through the cracks.

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    I am still trying to get my C&P exam. VA sends me a message, I call, they say they have a practitioner for me to see and do I have any avoid dates. I provide them and am told I will be contacted by the practitioner. A month or two go by. VA sends me a message, I call, they say they have a...

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    I have a VSO. I am a combat veteran. 158th AVN during Desert Storm and Operation Positive Force in Kuwait. I ETSed in 1995. The issue they have brought up initially is connecting any of my issues to my service. I have no idea how that will work or not. I thought that the stuff I have that is...

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    So I have just gotten a call from the contractor for my multiple exams. At least one (hearing) is in Atlanta so that blows. One will be local and one will be via tele-health (possibly). Why they could not find someone that could give a hearing test locally is beyond me. What I did learn while...

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    Super useful info. I did also register for the burn pit study as that includes oil fires. I had two calls telling me I needed to register for healthcare prior to getting that exam which led me to the denial, appeal and then approval. Is the burnpit exam and Gulf War exam the same?

    Atlanta. But...drum roll... got the call yesterday my appeal was approved (in about 48 hours btw) so I have medical. (I will have BC/BS in retirement but having another option that may include glasses is nice.) Next step for me is to try to get my disability rating. Due to serving in the oil...

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    Awesome. All benefits denied because no record of me exists serving active duty which also means none during Desert Storm. Although I have been registered in the burn pit study (oil fires count) they have refused to let me come in to be seen for a baseline since there is no proof of service. So...

    I did not use them. I ended up getting registered but have been unable to get an ID issued (website issues). I have not attempted to get any sort of disability yet. That seems to be the hardest part.

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    Yep. That is correct. This depends on your discharge date. Like me who left in '95 this is where I need to go. I had just learned about this last week while registering fir my logon. I should have posted up. My brother's ex tossed all his records so he is doing this too. I think he ETSed in...

    So far the only thing I have done successfully is get my DSLogon.

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    I started working on my registration process. The first thing I needed was to get on the VA page. In order to do that I was required to get a "DS Logon" That was simple but took over an hour since they thought they could text a verifification code to my office number from 10 years ago. I was...

    I had not thought of that. :cheers: Edit: looks like the closest DAV is 2 hours away. I think the local post disbannded. It will required some research.

    Guidance for the VA Registration Process?

    Well guys, I think I have put it off long enough. Since I have recently heard of some "presumptive conditions" related to serving in theater during Gulf 1, I decided, as a 50+ year old preparing for retirement from Federal civilian service, I should get over to the VA and get registered. I was...
