Gotta Say THANK YOU. This is kinda a response from my last comment about this TOP SECRET Mission, I'm already registered for the convention. I'm bringing or should say it's my plan to bring a couple of veteran's with me. Also hoping to submit 5 claims of my own. THANKS AGAIN The Gunny
This was the statistics from August of 23 from the VA website. At the end of the convention, 331 Veterans had been seen, 13 claims finalized, 23 toxic exposure screenings performed, and 64 compensation and pension exams completed. In addition, five Veterans had been enrolled for VA health care. Not a high adjudication number but maybe they have improved the process for this one. And this one was advertised as a pact act claims event
Absolutely! I would like to see more VA claim clinics hosted by the VA and not rely on the VFW annual convention. That would be a solid question to ask the VA Secretary but these reporters are worried about everything else that people don't care about.... - Clay
@@TheCivDiv Clay, I am from central Texas, are there other VA claim clinics in different states and cities? If so when and where? Or is this the ONE and ONLT VA claim clinic? Is there a schedule listing different VA claim clinics somewhere? Thanks for all you do.
I was at a VA clinic this past saturday where I spoke with a representative from the regional office about my claim. The VBA rep took down my information and said he would call me at 730AM this morning. Needless to say, he never called.
Thank you for sharing! I'm looking for an event like this in Phoenix that I can go to. Perhaps, you could provide a schedule of when & where these events occur? This is such good stuff! SF!
@@TheCivDiv Yea so there is a convention in August... I did look at there schedule via the DAV website. It didn't mention anything about the claims clinic... Or maybe I'm missing something? Either way, I'm sure it's going to be a good event!
No sweat and thank YOU for being a member!! I can’t wait for this event. Not only for VA Claims, but it’s also my hometown so I’ll be seeing my momma 😂 - Clay
Hey there!! Just to provide an Update. We've heard the video and answer the call to action. Drove 9 hours from charleston SC. And it was worth it. The claims clinic seemed too good to be true but it worked as discribed. Talked to real people, submitted a claim and saw the doctors. It was first come first serve so it was liek the dmv. Yet a chance to talk to a real person and get real answers was worth the wait. Civ div. Juet to let you know, the reps were surpised by the turn out. One person said they been doing this for years and never saw this many people from all over the country attend the claims clinic. They submitted over 100 claims from 9am - 1pm alone. They were overwhelmed but very appreciative and will make big accommodations in the furture. This proves that the videos you are making is getting the word out and changing people lives real time. Many many thanks. Keep doing what you are doing because it is working. - from a long time subscriber
Clay, Do you know if the claims clinics will be available everyday(July 27-Aug 1) taking claims. Just wondering if i'll be able to get in since I'm coming from out of town. Its a PACT Act presumptive claim from Desert Storm that I have a Diagnosis from my personal Dr. Shouldn't be a hard claim to get processed but nothing is easy with the VA. Thanks for all the info you provide for veterans.
These proposals are not from Project 2025 but instead come from the Heritage Foundation’s Budget Blueprint for Fiscal Year 2023, which is a separate set of policy recommendations. One policy proposal that’s part of the Budget Blueprint says the VA should “eliminate concurrent eligibility for both service-related disability benefits and military retirement benefits.” That means veterans would not be eligible to collect military retirement and VA disability benefits at the same time. Another proposal says the VA “should not provide medical benefits to veterans” in low priority groups. The Budget Blueprint also proposes preventing veterans from receiving disability benefits for “conditions that cannot be related to military service” and limiting “service-related disability claim applications to 10 years after leaving active duty.”
I went for 44 years before I found out that I could get health care for my service in Vietnam. No one ever contacted me about this. I found out by accidentally doing work for a vso.
I would love to see more of these. Especially if its just one or two items you need rated. Im currently waiting in PFD at a temp jurisdiction with no movement. Its been there for a week so far. Day 135 and we are struggling financially. Having claims done so quickly would change so many lives.
I just called my Congressman State Representative Chip Roy local office and spoke to a person ask my question on PROJECT 2025 that would it get RID OF THE PACT ACT and the guy said that Chip Roy and Donald Trump don’t ENDORSE the PACT ACT. And than I said so Project 2025 will get rid of the Pact Act and the guy replies again with Chip Roy and Donald Trump don’t ENDORSE the Pact Act. So what does that tell you, I believe Project 2025 will get rid of the Pact Act
The Republican party if that’s what they still call it love project 2025. They distanced themselves from it because they know how toxic it is. They expect Trump to get elected and then they will just fall in line and support it. People don’t see what’s going on with project 2025 are simply being willfully ignorant.
@@TheSkipper51 You don't have to get rid of the Pact Act to comply with Project 2025. An executive order could change the way VA benefits are rated in the VBA which would allow the VBA to gut the ratings currently awarded for Pact Act presumptives. The presumptives would still be in play but the ratings provided for those presumptives could be reduced to whatever the VA decides they should be at to save money.
Good to know you can start a sleep apnea claim still. I have a sleep study on the 31st of july. I may pay out of pocket for mine to have it sooner or ask the va for an earlier appointment.
It’s good that all those the claims that can’t be adjudicated, it’ll still speed up the process through evidence gathering to scheduling your exams - Clay
Thinking about flying out to it, I have an active FDC in with private DBQs as well as a supplemental. Am not a vfw member. Think they will still address and adjudicate these claims?
Lol sporting the Kentucky Wildcats Shirt in Luelvull is dangerous. I'm from South central Kentucky and my are is pretty much 50/50 between the cats or cardinals. How about a pending appeals or worse a board decision?
Depends on the claim situation and the details of the claim. I can tell you BVA that answer is no. My family is pretty split between Louisville and Kentucky 😂 - Clay
What are the odds of traveling from CA and not being able to see someone because there are too many Vets and not enough VA employee. So, wasted money and time traveling if I can’t be seen. Any idea? Should I wait for one out here? Thanks Devil!
I can’t answer that but if it were me….i would be there balls early Saturday morning to make sure. Maybe fly in Friday night type of thing. I’ve heard of a DAV clinic in AZ but I haven’t confirmed that. - Clay
A higher level review person told me they do not have access to Va medical records such as progress notes from therapist. She said they just have what we submit in portal and what the c&p examiner submits and we all know how that goes. SMH. So what’s true?
@@herringbone5035 So weird that comments keep disappearing on here. I had posted that the White House VA hotline isn't a thing anymore and the comment just doesn't show up now.
VFW does have their membership guidelines and there are other VSOs out there but…for this VA Claim Clinic it is open to ALL VETERANS not just VFW members. - Clay
Brotha, you need to do a video about all the veterans who recieved OTH discharges after being disgnosed woth PTSD after a combat deployment and then having to wait years to get their discharges upgraded ONLY TO HAVE THE VA STILL SAY THEIR SERVICE WAS NOT HONORABLE AND TRY TO DENY THEIR CLAIMS FOR ANY COMPENSATION!! PLEASE USE YOUR VOICE AND PLATFORM TO BRING ATTENTION TO THIS!! ITS ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL THAT THIS IS STILL HAPPENING. THERES THOUSANDS OF VETERANS OUT THERE DEALING WITH THIS. EVEN AFTER WAITING YEARS FOR CASES LIKE THE MANKER VS VA CASE TO MAKE THEIR WAY THROUGH THE FEDERAL COURT SYSTEM, THESE VETERANS GET A GLIMMER OF HOPE IF THEIR DISCHARGE IS UPGRADED ONLY TO HAVE IT CRUSHED BY THE VA ONCE AGAIN. I WONDER IF THEY KEEP TRACK OF THE VETERANS THAT ARENT WITH US ANYMORE BECAUSE THE VA CONTINUED TO SHIT ON THEM. PLEASE BRING SOME AWARENESS TO THIS BROTHER.
What if you are only waiting on a rating? Everything is uploaded and waiting to be seen by a rater. Can this be approved on the spot? Its been in cue for 120 days.
The VA will need to already have those records from service unless you bring them with you. They can assist you up to a certain point. When Brad discusses ‘federal’ records that’s the part you need to pay attention to. - Clay
Can we apply for VR&E there , file dependent paperwork , get toxic screening.I am setting at 94% , I want to file new claims but worried if I make it to 100% there will that take away my effective date for my HLR in progress?
I doubt there will be VR&E counselors there. Dependent paperwork will be easy. Toxic screening is really at the ‘Vet Fest’ events. As far as filing disability claims, this is the place. - Clay
@@TheCivDiv I have to ask Andy Gross (he is my attorney )what he thinks about filing new claims there at the convention . He filed for 6 HLR on the 1st of May and told me then not to file anything new until we have the decisions . He said if I did it would slow the process of my HLR claims . I believe the Louisville VFW convention is a unique opportunity so I am going to ask his advice on what to do ? Thank you as always for all your help and advice.
@@johnsullivan7281solid. Andy is an absolute solid type of dude and if he's your representative, then I would 1000% follow his advice. He has access to your C-File so he knows all the ins and outs for your situation. - Clay

That would’ve been a solid question. I’m writing this down to hopefully get the answer when I travel there and maybe we can compare last year to this year. - Clay
@@ronneil4354 It is, but don't let me stop you from going. They have a backlog of over a quarter of a million claims. So you think if like 1,000 people show up that their claims will somehow be magically completed.

I talked to multiple va employees from the Cincinnati regional va about this because i wanted concrete details before I drive several hours at the end of this month to get my claim in a day. They ALL confirmed this is NOT TRUE. You simply get help sumbitting your va claim. YOU DO NOT GET YOUR CLAIM ADJUDICATED IN A DAY.

Congrats, you actually took the time to do the research. Last year they finalized 13 claims. Imagine how pissed you'd be if you went.
I'm sorry, I can't watch your videos anymore, I don't like having to see Kamala Harris.
I am so confused

@@TheCivDiv I don't understand why, Your podcast are running commercials for Kamala Harris. I am a Trump supporter 100%😀
So her picture is on every video you have,
