VA Rater (RVSR) who reviews the VA laws and regulations for VA compensation. The purpose of the channel is to educate newer Rating Veteran Service Representatives (RVSRs), Veteran Service Representatives (VSRs), and the lay person about the M21-1 manual, 38 CFRs, and VA policies and the ways in which they should be applied based upon my interpretation and to sometimes have an overall discussion about VA regulation topics where there might be differing opinions among the VSR, Rater, and Quality Review Teams.

Hey all. I'm likely going to be H-Town's podcast again tonight discussing: Is the Criticism & Blame Placed on VA Rating Specialists Justified or Just an Overreaction? It started, so come on over if you want.

Good morning, everyone! I would like to say thank you to everyone watching and subscribing to my channel. As of this morning we have reached 9800 subscribers. Just 200 more to go until the 10k goal. Until then, I will just keep putting out videos daily. I am currently recording the Diabetes Mellitus (part 2), How is Diabetes Rated video and that will be coming out today. There will be a part 3 for the complications (secondaries) for Diabetes Mellitus that will likely be coming out tomorrow. Thank you again for all the support for the channel and make sure to keep learning about the VA compensation process for yourself and those you know. The more you know about the process, the better your odds are at getting a more accurate outcome to your VA compensation claims.
Rater Out!

Video Shout-Out of the day. The Salt Old Marine put out a video today that I knew he could explain much better than I could and in my opinion it's really worth a watch.

Good morning, everyone (I'm pre-coffee so I'm editing it). I hope that you had a fun and safe New Years. I've been thinking of ways to help the channel grow and I thought I would let the community weigh in on it. I did not know that you could do this until today, but it looks like there is an option in YouTube that in order to comment on videos you have to be a subscriber (free non-payment subscription and NOT the payment membership. I would never lock comments behind payment). I am thinking of turning that on to help the subscriber count grow since there are many people who watch the videos and comment but are not subscribed. Let me know what you think about this idea in the comments below. If I decide to do it (barring any compelling argument to the contrary) I will put out something formal before I do it.
Thank you for your continued support and have a wonderful day.

We had a relatively new experience last night with a fairly disruptive participant in the chat. My view has been that I do not silence honest debate for forthright disagreements if they are respectful in nature (process not people). Like with most things I will leave the decision up to the community. It has been pointed out how serious the distraction was, so I am going to put it to a vote as to how to handle future disruptions moving forward. This poll will run until the 24th and be implemented starting the Christmas Live Stream. I will email the moderators on the 24th to update the live stream policy. Thank you for your continued support for the channel.

It seems as though tonight's live stream troll did not like my coverage of the scams and bots YouTube channels. If you look up their handle and their email address and then cross reference their email it will provide you with "The email address XXXXXXX@gmail.com is strongly associated with online scams, particularly phishing attempts targeting YouTube users and creators. It is a known email address used by scammers to send fake emails or share private videos with the intent of stealing account information or spreading malware."
I'll let you guys do your own research. I guess they were hoping that I would take them up on the offer and click on their links or something. Some people make Lt. Dan look like a rocket scientist.

If I ever refer to a Veterans Disability YouTube channel as entertainment ONLY, then just know that the content of the channel factually has zero value when it comes to filing a claim and should be avoided at all costs when seeking advice or direction to do so. Trust me when I say that there is one channel that is so off the rails right now that they make me want to call them an entertainment channel publicly and daily. It's likely not the one you think of, so please do not try to guess in the comments.
I hope you all have a wonderful day.
