Finally done

I've finally been awarded what I believe is fair, and I'm in a better spot to pick up the pieces from service.

After all the research, forms, waiting, disappointment, progress, appeals, phone calls, emails, research, and more research.

Finally. Done.

For anyone still fighting...

• Don't give up.
• Always verify what someone tells you.
• You're your own best advocate.
• I personally got quite a bit of mileage from gemini, but any AI/tool that cites its sources is worth using imo to save yourself grief and time.

Thank you to everyone that has posted and posts helpful information on this sub- VA employees in particular.

I wish you all the best in your own journeys.

EDIT:... wait jk, they didn't backdate the most recent claims correctly...
