Got my informal results back. Of course they low-balled it, so now I get appeal it which will take another 1-2 months. Then if I still don't like the decision I get to do a formal hearing where I get to get a attorney and go up to D.C. in person, which would take an additional 6 months or so.

So no real results yet...

Yeah, a lot of fighting with doctors and talking with an attorney to get my stuff re-evaluated. I just need another 10% higher than what they gave me. That's all...

Basically if I can get 10% more I will get medical retirement, so half of my base pay plus VA disability.

As far as the VA reps go, my dad is in really tight with the rep for Linn County where I'll be living. She helped him out a LOT with his claim.

It's not the VA reps that suck, it's the VA hospitals that suck. All they want to do is stuff ya full of pills and send ya home........

Well they've already been doing that since I hurt my back over a year ago... Here, take some Motrin, that doesn't help? How about some muscle relaxers (even though it's not a muscle problem) Here's some narcotics! No, you won't get addicted to them. Oh, the narcotics don't help? Here's some different narcotics... Well I guess we should do an MRI now...
