| knee va rating: You Deserve It Brian Reese, 2023-04-11 You SERVED. You DESERVE. Brian Reese was good at masking his PTSD, bipolar disorder, depression, and anxiety. He even told himself he did not deserve benefits, which he later discovered was complete bullshit. As an air force officer deployed to Afghanistan, he embodied the motto of service before self. Unfortunately, like many veterans, his service came at his own expense, and abusing alcohol and drugs to cope with mental health issues nearly ended his life. But by the grace of God and the power of pure vulnerability, Brian began a transformational journey of overcoming social stigmas and persevering through adversity. This journey has become a global movement of Veterans Helping Veterans Worldwide(TM). In You Deserve It, Brian provides veterans with a step-by-step blueprint to help them obtain virtually unknown federal and state benefits. With years of personal experience and more than ten thousand hours devoted to helping veterans get the benefits they're entitled to, Brian provides readers with the unparalleled insight and expertise that forms the foundation of his SEM Method. Whether you served thirty days or thirty years, this book will educate and inspire you to reap the rewards for your honorable service to our country. |

| knee va rating: Veterans Benefits Administration clarity of letters to claimants needs to be improved. , 2002 In fiscal year 2001, the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Veterans Benefits Administration (VBA) provided more than $23 billion in monthly cash benefits to approximately 3.2 million disabled veterans and their families through its compensation and pension program. In the same year, VBA mailed approximately 1.2 million notification letters to veterans and their families, informing them of VBAs decisions regarding claims that they had filed to receive compensation or pension benefits. VBA also sent about 1.2 million development letters in fiscal year 2001 requesting information that the agency needed to reach a decision on claims. 1 Because these letters serve as VBAs official means of communicating its decisions to claimants and requesting information to support claims, it is important that the letters be clearly written and easy to understand. |
| knee va rating: Protection of Industrial Power Systems T. Davies, 1984 The protection which is installed on an industrial power system is likely to be subjected to more difficult conditions than the protection on any other kind of power system. Starting with the many simple devices which are employed and covering the whole area of industrial power system protection, this book aims to help achieve a thorough understanding of the protection necessary. vital aspects such as the modern cartridge fuse, types of relays, and the role of the current transformer are covered and the widely used inverse definite-minimum time overcurrent relay, the theory of the Merz-Price protection system and the development of the high-impedance relay system are critically examined. This new edition has come about in response to the dramatic change from the use of electro-magnetic relays to electronic and micro-processor relays which figure in practically all new installations. Therefore, although the theory and usage are the same, the application can be much improved owing to the increased range and accuracy and the added facilities provided with the modern relays. This book reflects the change and explains the technical advantages. |
| knee va rating: Keep Your VA Claim Moving! Sarah French, Currently, about 520,000 veterans are waiting for a disability claim decision from the Department of Veterans Affairs, with about 235,000 veterans waiting 125 days or more. Using the knowledge that I have gained through thirty-one years of processing veteran’s disability claims, I have written a book that will help veterans shepherd their claims through the VA bureaucracy. Keep Your VA Claim Moving gives the basic facts about how the VA claims process works as well as insights into how the VA works that I’ve gained from working for the VA for thirty-one years. Having retired in 2014 my information is up to date. Since retiring I have done consulting work with a law firm on VA claims. This will help veterans who are considering filing a claim and also those who have already filed a claim and are wondering what has happened to it. There have been several books published in 2013 and 2014 on the subject of how to file a VA disability claim. This book is written by someone who is not just a consumer of VA benefits but who has actually worked for VA processing claims |
