THEY KEEP CHANGING CLMJ FOR COMBAT TRAINED DURING WAR TIME 1960'S

Congratulations Laura! The way you are enriching the lives of others is the type of wonderful giving to which we can all aspire. We need more just like you! F-

VA is a lot of work only for them to deny you. Vietnam wars and Koren my dad did and since died

Oh, I can help everybody who comes to this video with this, as I just went through the process. Let me just share what I posted to my Facebook about it, it will tell you everything you need to know as of June 2024: [Picture of my wheelchair disabled veteran plates for the truck and motorcycle that arrived on the day I posted this here] For the win! Believe it or not, this is the result of a two month process that started back in April. It starts simple enough. You go to the tax office in Horry County and you volunteer to pay them taxes on vehicles for which the tax is already paid back in Forsyth County North Carolina, where you are moving from. Then you go down to the DMV, and you pay your regular registration fees... But you also pay an extra $250 per vehicle for a one-time only "moving to South Carolina" fee. Whatever. It's a little bit pricey, but you're not getting around it so you just pay it. The total fee for registering one truck and one motorcycle when you first move to South Carolina comes to about $900. I still have to do the wife's Camaro, so that's not the total cost, it's just the cost for my truck and my motorcycle. You're going to pay about $1,500 to move three vehicles from North Carolina to South Carolina, but this journey just involves two of the three. Understand now that you cannot get your disabled veteran tags on that day. No, those are handled by a separate office in a separate town who handles it for the whole state. So you take your regular tags, then go home and get online to get the application for the disabled veteran tags and mail that off, along with the paperwork proving you're a disabled veteran, to some town called Blythewood. But they don't like the paperwork that everyone else in the world uses for this purpose. You see, you get an award letter from the Veterans Administration that spells out everything. It's several pages long but, within it, it says that you're a disabled veteran, that your status is permanent and total, and everything else the world would need to know when you are doing something that requires this paperwork. Everyone else on planet Earth uses this paperwork to verify you for all things where you are required to prove you are a disabled veteran... ... But not the state of South Carolina... They want some different paperwork. Granted, the different paperwork they want is available on the VA benefits website, but because absolutely no one on earth ever needs anything but the original award letter, no one knows where to find this specific, oddball thing that the state of South Carolina is looking for. You have to dig pretty deep through some HTTP gobbledygook to find this thing in a back corner of the website, but it is there. You'll go back and forth arguing with the DMV people, because they are asking for something that they should not need, as you have already sent them the official paperwork that everyone else uses... you'll have it escalated, you'll have supervisors call you, the whole damn thing. In the end, you'll spend a day digging through the VA website to try to find this weird thing they're looking for. But you're not going to win, so in the end you find it and you send it to them. Then they send you your disabled veteran tags. But wait... ... For some damned reason, the state of South Carolina has two different disabled veteran tags. The one they're going to send you is totally useless. It doesn't have the wheelchair logo on it. You can't use it for handicap parking, which is the entire purpose of getting the disabled veteran tags. No, this first tag they send you just tells the world you are a disabled veteran, but offers you absolutely no tangible benefit whatsoever. Frankly, I could not understand the purpose of putting "disabled veteran" on your license plate, just to announce your status to random people on the interstate... But South Carolina has a tag for that purpose alone, and that's the one they're going to send you. When you get these tags and see that there's no wheelchair on them, you go back to the people in this office in Blythewood South Carolina, and you ask about it. That's when you find out that there's a DIFFERENT disabled veteran tag, and the other one does have the wheelchair on it. But for that one, you need a different form, and the different form has to be signed by your doctor. I am not bullshitting you here. Think this one through all the way. They now have received your official documentation stating that you are a 100% disabled veteran, with permanent and total status, required you to go to the VA and get a different documentation stating that you are a 100% disabled veteran with permanent and total status... But to get the wheelchair logo on your disabled veteran license plate, you have to go to your doctor...AT THE VA...to have him sign a form that says the VA wasn't lying when they provided the first two items of documentation. So it's back to the VA website, back to printing out this obscure form that South Carolina wants. Back to the South Carolina DMV website to find this different form that South Carolina wants for the useful disabled veteran tag, and then a trip to the actual VA...to start a new fight with your doctor and the massive bureaucracy behind him to get his signature on this new form. Right now I'm bitching about the South Carolina DMV, so I'll save you several paragraphs about fighting with the VA to get this signature on this form. Finally...two months later and after all of that...the plates in the picture will arrive in your mailbox. At this point, I feel like these plates should be encrusted in gold.

God bless your family and the memory of your daughter.

Thank You and your families for your service. Privileged and proud to call you teammates...setting conditions for Veterans to thrive in the state of South Carolina.

Yessss I thank you for your service My Sorors Whorthley and Owens

So proud yess

What does the VA mean when they say the VA conceded that my deployment is verifiable.

TOTAL FRAUD!!!!

The waiting list is going to get longer and longer.

I wish I could have attended in solidarity.

Becoming a member of VaClaimsInsider do I eliminate my option to work with Va.gov representative on all claims?

When are we going to talk about enewetak cleanup veterans.

Will there be any updates in SMCs for lung conditions!

Well done, Bambi!!

Proud of you, Bambi.

Real talk, you will most likely get it service connected , but at 0%. Presumptive conditons is a nice jestor but the reality you need to get a private doctor to agree. If you are older like in the gulf war, its going to be impossible to get a doctor to say you have that condition. Some presumptives have no medical test, so just get nothing for those as well. My denial letter says both that it is presumptive and also that i have been not diagnosed with that issue. So, it says pesumptive but also says i need to do the additional step of being diagnosed.

I would not call my life "thriving".

Video Games and Cellphones are causing Issues

Great Initiative, I can’t afford Internet, Cable or a computer so my 2 15 year olds are active in Soccer, Scouts and out in the woods. Fortunately they both want to serve like their father and Mother did. A Honor Roll too, I am Blessed

Solid information however, unless one is living within the United States they can not apply for the PACT ACT using the online form.

Radiation on radar sites Alaska

As a two time Vietnam vet I had applied for TDIU due to breathing problems. I applied in 2014, but was either denied or the request was put on hold. I was raised to 100% in 2019 and thought that was all I was going to get. Dec 2022, l was granted TDIU and got 9 years back pay and designated SMC housebound. I did not apply for the PACT ACT, but the consciousness to breathing issues sure paid me well.

Does the Pact Act include the Camp Lejuene water contamination claim, because I signed up with bell Legal and has not gotten a response nor a call from them stating the progress of the claim

If I have a claim that is already in. Do I need to file an additional filing for the PACT Act

Great information. Thank you

Good job But you for got the veterans on the DMZ in Korea in your video

Pathway House is a great organization.

Wh about subs

How can you get assistance or help from any reliable VSO or Veterans Affairs organization that are not to busy to provide accurate information regarding the VA disability claims process.

Does PACT act include Gulf War syndrome?

I am Retired since 2000 with 0 Disability and recently was diagnosed with B cell Non Hodgkin Lymphoma last month, the doctor notes stated that I cannot work for 6 months. I work for the USPS and cannot lift boxes due to a med port placed in my chest for chemo treatment. Served in Saudi Arabia at Dhahran Air Base from April 97 to April 98. Scheduled for PACT VA claim next week but have not been screened for the TES. How is the process? How long would it take for the VA to process this type of claim. What else can I do?
