About me:
My name is Clay Simms and I’m the creator of TheCivDiv. I served in the US Marine Corps for 10 years.
2011 - 2015: Infantry Mortar
2015 - 2019: PSYOP / IO
2019 - 2021: Reserve PSYOP
In 2019 I began my transition after completing a horrendous Transition Readiness Seminar. I used my skill set from PSYOP and IO to land a government contracting position and eventually became Federal employee for the Army. In 2019 I submitted my first claim with a VSO that I would soon learn did NOT understand the process. That is what started my VA Disability journey to learn the process myself. By helping my friends and reading, a lot of reading, I am now able to share my knowledge and experience with the Veteran community.

The whole thing is written by republican opposition, including those from within the heritage foundation in yet another attempt interfering with the election by the left/beaurecrats. Conservatives don't talk, think, or act like this "agenda" describes.

I just found out I was denied hearing loss on my VA Claim. When I was a Jet Engine Mech on the USS Ranger aircraft Carrier even though my service record showed hearing loss after we had to do hearing tests each year. This is insane. Working directly on a jet engine I guess does not cause hearing loss.
If this is the case, then cut social security across the board and welfare as well.
Exactly Clay the compensation and pension money does not belong to the VA. The money is earned by the taxpayers and the government should not be printing money. The money belongs to the people who have worked their fingers to the bone. Clay the government pays people to be dependent on them and pays people to stay poor or place hold. In regard to the VA employees they are just place holders. Physicians and nurses and medical professionals all go work for the VA in good intentions but their skills fall by the wayside and so does their good intentions. Clay they own it. The government owns it. I have not clanged to them. I do not believe you fully understand deception. The VA strangles the veterans. The VA employees become a statute or a regulation and their science and or medical training is long forgotten.
Why ? No thanks

And here i am at 70% with a crap ton wrong and afraid to loose the little i have trying to fight for 100% p&t
Civdiv, I paused the video when you asked the question about sucking it up and doing the 20 they don’t give you a chance I was medical retired 17 years. I asked the same question I begged them in tears and they told me no you’re done. Unpause the video and see what he says. I’m 100% PNT too, but I’m unable to work. But I was able to get 100% Social Security disability. That is hard to get. But I called my congressman and my senators about the Richard star act and it needs to be passed because it’s not fair. Glory to GOD!

My dad is a Vietnam Veteran and started receiving VA Disability Benefits in 2019. I am telling all my dad's friends that if you are veteran and want to keep your benefits, you can not vote for Donald Trump. Trump is even going after Social Security. Donald Trump is no good for veterans and America. Vote Harris and the entire Democrat ticket!

Here's something interesting. They word it "fraudulent DBQs" but they don't refer to "unwarranted C&P exams" as fraudulent, though they are dang near criminal 🤨
Project 2025 is just a think tanks thought. It holds no weight at all and it would never pass.It would never pass the entire congress. Might as well be written by some smuck in a coffee shop it means nothing
As a former VA employee, most first-time claims are denied because: 1) the claimant doesn't support their assertion with adequate documentation (their best is to get an advocate to look over all their documentation before submittal); 2) appeal, appeal, appeal...

BBN brother! Have you ever heard of someone developing physical injuries and/or disabilities due to working out too much as an outlet for a mental health disability? Example: a trashed ankle from overuse because someone works out all the time to treat/avoid mental health symptoms. Asking for a friend. Thanks for what you do!
I think that would be a really hard sell…possible? Sure. Probable? Eh… - Clay

I'm an American citizen. I'm 60 years old. I'm a disabled veteran and people are getting more money for free. Coming out through Central America. Coming in from the North part of America. What the hell does this mean we can give money out like? As free for the taxpayers have to deal with all the problems. Why doesn't Congress make some new laws? That's what they do. Wake up
Copy that
They're worried about a little bit of billions. How much? Have they send over to israel and the country of ukraine😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢😢
Yep, that's me. Went from 42% to 87% last year. Gathering evidence for a couple of things that I think are under rated. But that climb to 95 is pretty tough. Normal math = 160%, VA math = 87%
YUT!!Semper Fi OIF/OEF Marine veteran
“Outstanding Clay”, for putting these life stories out there, “Thank you Brother in Arms”!
Hell I’m 100 P&T and still under rated. They low balled me big time on at least 3 debilitating conditions.
80% sucks also!!! They just gave me 10% for tinnitus and it keeps me awake at night. (kept me at 80%) The denied my plantar fasciitis, They stated it wasn't military related, and I've had shots in my feet because of the pain.
Is the bilateral factor noted in the claims letter?
And this is where I stop listening to this guy. Project 2025 is such a far fetched idea that would never be able to happen the way our government is designed.
I couldn’t watch the whole video because the first minute was like wow, I highly disagree. First the VA should be educating Veterans how to properly find a claim and not Veterans having to educate themselves. Next C&P exams seems be the VA’s method to deny or not provide the proper compensation to Veterans. These exams are flawed and over burden, with many examiners not even reviewing the medical records prior to even understand why you are there. Next many raters or just trying to meet the job’s Q&A standards and are not experts per se as you as the Veteran have to educate them as well too. In the end, the burden is left on the Veteran and this is where the system is failing.
va math...210 combined points gets 95 or 100%
I got your 6
Just to be clear for everyone, am I correct that these new rules only apply to NEW CLAIMS / RATINGS that take affect AFTER the changes go into affect? In other words, of you are currently rated for PTSD, Depression etc, any future C&P exams or rating changes would NOT use the new criteria. Am I correct on this ?
Here's the news article discussing the large inaccuracies and delays in the VA disability claims process m.czcams.com/video/g-SofWISCZM/video.html&si=YbDVb-pjcyviZ2pj&fbclid=IwZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAR3UHyhK5UAZJ0iUyLetPEPJvCV3eOgcqu-rZWvd6cGPqHWDAlU270kgokE_aem_3RikLkDjnVe3TfkCic01Fg
Project 2025 VA officials fired .
What do you personally feel is a fair amount/rate for a nexus or DBQ from a medical expert? Yes, I know they are very different things. But as we all know, there are many doctors doing them and the rates are all over the place from fair to insane. I am not building their swimming pool on the remodel if I am not invited to swim in it as well.
It's funny when an MRI and a CT scan proved the true of a medical condition and DBQ backs it up and A VA EXAMINER lies or in service medical records says you have a medical condition and is documented in service but the C&P said it never happen then you should sues the C&P EXAMINER for begin a lier .
Who cares anyway we won’t get paid soon they didn’t come up with the 15B
There’s conflicting info about presumptives…for conditions that were previously denied Service Connection (back in 2009) that are now presumptive…do we open a supplemental claim the new evidence being change in law? Or a brand new claim for the previously denied condition?
