I have lower radiculopathy and they refuse to give me my back. I have explained every way I know how. Now back to HLR. Makes it seem like they don't want to give it to me because then I can claim 3-4 other things. Now a lot of Regional offices don't want to give you your results over the phone, You have to fill out a fioa request and hope that you get it within a year. But you really should be able to know if the denial matches the C&P exam. I have been denied twice saying I did not have a diagnosis when I did.

This is why I call out the vba raters because they overlooked medical evidence. Get sn VA accredited attorney. The raters hates attorneys because the attorneys can argue your cases. Thus the raters don't have a leg to stand on. Medical evidence is what you need. All the other is extra. Medical records don't lie and still raters deny claims. Improperly trained and incompetent of giving a proper rating. To many vets should be p and t and they are denied when they should have been granted.

Dwayne, thanks for another great video. Question for you as a previous rater. I am currently at 70%, (10% tinnitus and 70% MDD), that said I was just granted SSDI as well. When I first submitted for my SSDI I was not approved and I appealed it and it went into reconsideration. While in reconsideration I was awarded the 70% MDD from the VA and my attorney uploaded to the VA the granted MDD rating of 70% for it. Within 1 week of him doing that the SSA granted my SSDI and he told me the MDD pushed it over the top for me. Now the question I have is I am currently fixing to file a migraine claim and request TDIU at the same time, will a copy of the verification letter from the SSA granting SSDI help in anyway to get my TDIU since the MDD was also a deciding factor in their decision? I know that both are separate from one another and SSDI is actually harder to get but I was just curious if it may help my TDIU journey. Thanks and keep up your great work

I know I have secondary issues from my knee and neck injuries, so I would like an increase from these. Also age is a factor in my case. I am 72. I had a retired VA adjustors look at my records and he said would have rated me 60 percent. I currently have 30 for my knee and 10 for a ganglion cyst removal. I think I have some rating for my neck, but not being paid for that. Think I should be with secondary issues. I also have secondary back issues due to my knee which I have a brace for, uneven gate has caused back issues.
