So I've heard that if you appeal or request a rating change it essentially allows the VA to reassess ALL the issues you have a rating for. I'm not sure if this is something the VA might be doing for your case. Some medical issues have the potential to resolve so they might be re-examining those ones. Obviously use caution going into any C&P examination as there's a lot of errors, bias, and bad medical judgment that can occur.

I requested a rating change for an issue about 4 years ago. The exam was scheduled within a month via phone call and the decision came in about a month later. I did a BVA appeal and have been waiting since then to even get on the docket. So they're quick on some things but god forbid you have to appeal a crappy decision.

Sorry to hear that a VA decision might be a make or break point for you. Its good that youre aware of the DBQs though - many are not. Wishing the best for you OP.

Okay. Don't stop there Alabama. So if an embryo is now a child, let's talk now about dependents and tax exemptions, protective services, custodial rights and responsibilities, welfare benefits, insurance requirements, HOV rules, census counts, adoption and fostering rules, school districts and education funds, estate planning and probate.... You wanted to open Pandora's damn box - now every piece of state legislation that involves a child now needs to be adjusted.

Might get interesting in the news as questions arise over what the new guidelines are. But of course they won't get addressed. Of course, of course.

They had that drowning incident last year at another site that got shut down. I'd say the whole chain.

It was a 5-month old puppy. Completely fkd up that someone would do that. I'd probably check on all the kids they have access to.

No that's a misdemeanor. But only if you demonstrate intent. Up to the police to decide.

You're forgetting the maybe box. For the low commitment, easy out people.

I remember a few years ago on the other place that starts with "R", there were a bunch of people who were randomly sent seed packets from China. Big debate on whether they should plant them and if it would start the zombie apocalypse or not. Some planted them and it grew to be wildflowers...so far.

TLDR: seeds

Wow that sounds extensive enough to where there should be an expectation of higher pay. There's an argument that for civic duties such as jury duty or political positions, pay should not incentivize prople to seek those duties or positions or you attract the wrong candidates...but I dont really believe thats true. Still, kudos to you for taking on a front line job like that - I've been to the ER a few times and the environment is just so surreal and depressing. I cant imagine the daily amounts of human suffering that you are exposed to. That'd be enough to justify the weed IMO.

On another note, you should totally do an AMA.

Had the same question when I read the headline and this was super informative. Out of curiosity, do 911 operators have to pass extensive background checks and psych exams to be able to access those databases? Also, I've heard the pay was abysmal - is that still true?

It's a pendulum of evolution. Or it's a flipped image. Your pick. The first one's way more exciting tho.
