Ask me about Proposition 305


Do you like muskets?
So back in 2014 I filed a VA claim for my left shoulder, because I'd been having problems with it for years and it started in Iraq.

The claim was denied because of lack of evidence. So I appealed.

During the course of the appeal the VA did an MRI of my neck and shoulder, then denied my claim because they found nothing wrong with my shoulder. This was May of last year.

Today I learned that the MRI showed my neck is all kinds of hosed up.

All of my cervical vertebrae have bone spurs, most of them have arthritis, and one of them has a herniated disc. These issues are causing the spaces where the nerves going to my arms and shoulders come out of my spinal cord to shrink, possibly impinging on the nerves themselves. So it appears my shoulder issues are actually caused by my hosed up neck.

The VA has known this since May of last year. They never told me that there was anything wrong with my neck, just "your shoulder is fine, claim denied."

So now I'm taking my case to an attorney. I'm going to try go get them to 1) approve a claim for my neck and 2) backdate the claim to when I filed for my shoulder, because clearly this is the same goddamned issue and they clearly withheld information. "Well, your shoulder is fine. Not gonna mention how these issues might be caused by your neck, though."

loving VA.

You probably don’t need an attorney for that. Also do not use any attorney that tries to charge you (because legally they’re not allowed). Did you use a VSO when you filed the original claim? If not go see a VSO asap.

DAV is who I did my poo poo through last time. VFW did my initial claim. DAV is hands down the better of the two, and usually conveniently in your local VA hospital.

No idea on other VSOs, maybe American Legion?

Have you used DAV before? Because they were on top of my poo poo. It was about 7 months from start to finish for me. Barring some special organization like purple heart society or whatever, DAV is kinda gold standard, so it'd be unusual. And you'd be up to the mercy of wherever the nearest legion hall is, which is pretty sporadic.

Remember I posted the one dispensary that's offering a 20% discount and joked that at least they weren't so on the nose that they did 22%. Well, one of other dispensaries just sent me an ad and they're doing 22% because 22 vets kill themselves a day. Big loving advertisement that includes the text "this sale is not stackable with veterans discount."

I dunno. This poo poo rubs me the wrong way. I'm all about raising suicide awareness. I don't think that it should be a marketing tool like this, though.

Question: are any of those proceeds going to an organization that helps vets, or are they otherwise helping vets at all? If not, that's a lovely marketing gimmick and they can go gently caress themselves.

None that they mention at all. That's something I specified in the email I wrote back.

Edit:

Am I crazy or is this just kindof lovely:

I managed to make it to Colorado. It was rough for a while, but poo poo's come together. You know how nice it is living at 5-6k feet? loving awesome. Lots of sun.

But, why not move and take your guns with you? Or buy your guns there? Don't get your medical card until you've reached whatever goal you want to satisfy? Do you have a record for possession anyhow?

I still have my .357 revolver in the closet. Got a box of ammo to burn through before I trade it off.

Spoke with an attorney about my VA claim. They said that since I have a service connected rating for my knees, and that favoring one knee or other does wonky things to the back and neck, I might be able to get the claim on my neck backdated to when I filed for my knees.

In 2010.
