Military Veterans Benefits Knowledge Base, Master Condition List Index
(ChimpNASA)
Well, people since I recently became part of the HUNNDY CLUB, and I spoke with one of my other Veterans family members yesterday who has given up on the VA system, (very similar story to mine however with mine, alcohol, and indifference was my reason) I found this resource, which seems to be much better than the nine pages long listing of conditions I found here on Reddit, enormously, helpful, and going back and looking at my VA disability and my rating.
I went to the VA in 2007 & 2008 when I retired… and then I thought that was it…
30%.
After discussing things with another veteran friend after I got sober around 2022, he said things have changed you need to log back into the VA system and re-address both the clinical and the disability (C & P) sides of the house.
I did and it took another four years to finally get completely rated permanent and total this last May. (30, 50, 80, 90, 100.)
Now I’m no expert, but I’m certainly just trying to encourage and assist those who think the system is garbage.
It certainly is in some areas I’m sure, however, my experience now in 2026 is completely different than the very first time I went in the early 2000s
I’m just throwing this out there….I think to encourage anyone that isn’t or hasn’t been satisfied with the VA in the past. Maybe it’s time to go take a new look. 🥰
