I was in the Air Force for 20 years. And I became deaf four years into my first enlistment. I already knew I was going to get a disability for being deaf in one ear. However, I have vertigo and tinnitus very badly and the VA only gave me 10% for each and only 10% for being deaf in my one year. I am older now and my good ear is starting to go deaf. So, these are great tips for me to go back to the VA and re-file a claim. Thank you very much.

Can you make a video about TBIs and include a personal statement in the grandmaster course. It’s another high roller claim at least at a glance online.

Hello there.. just saw an old benefits denial letter from a claim i filed the month that i ETS'd 8/2001 and it shows I was claim knee and back issues... I forget why it was denied, but most likely i didnt make the C&P appt is because the process was over a year at that time and I had already moved out of state. OAN, I dont have my outpatient STRs only inpatient STRs because thats all national archives provided me... crazy part is VA is now saying I never complained about back pain in those days when clearly, I did. Maybe during those days they didnt have the, "you have up until 1 year to service connect injury rule"... I am still attempting to service connect with a nexus letter from a letter of intent filed 2/2023.... however, do you think that I can possibly win at the board of appeals to get the knees, back and dizziness back dated all the way to 8/2001? Your thoughts on that? My apologies on the length...

I’ve been denied several times for migraines AND clothing allowance. I’ve been to several migraine drs and they all have tried me to take every migraine cocktail drugs which didn’t work. But yet the VA denied me on my migraine file

Is it service connected? If not did you file for migraines as a primary claim or secondary?

I have 3/4 the conditions you outlined and I'm not even at 50%. I'm going to click on your link but do you have anyone I can connect with from your network, because I'm ready to do the work!

How to I get this Nexus letter form. I have all these symptoms. Let me know.

Question for you: Back in 05’ when I got out everything was snail mail. No internet claims etc. I snail mailed a claim that got denied. I had no evidence. Only what was in my record. I had an injury on duty and went to medical and was off of work. Back then I got denied for that injury not service connected. My question is today with in service records available to the Va and seeing the injury on their end, if I were to submit that claim and it gets service connected now, would it back pay me to the original file date back in 05’?

I was absolutely an Ignorant Igor. I thought you had to be blown up by IUDs or suffering debilitating PTSD to get any VA claims. I never knew what I was entitled to. It wasn't until a relative and fellow vet told me he went from 10 to 50 to 100% that I realized I wasn't getting what I deserved. I felt really dumb for not knowing and for not filing earlier. But you can't help what you don't know. You can help what you know and don't do anything about. Once I had the education I knew better. Once you know better you do better.

what about SMC's

I have a legacy case, combat vet, on the books 20 plus years, I will die long before the VA pays me.

I have a question - I was diagnosed with IBS, but they said I received it outside of the military. How can I fight that. I do have in my medical record I had to go to the doctor a few times, but they will not grant me anything. Do I have a case?

You need to claim IBS secondary to another service connected disability if you can’t secure direct connection.

If it was during your active duty time it still is implicitly service connected. If not, then you will need a nexus letter unless you qualify under the PACT act

Aha I got 2 conditions. My migraine is just 30 percent but I missed work at least once a week. My gerd is on my military medical records and my va doctor gives me a medication for those but not on my claims. But I got claims for Ibs 30 percent. I might claim my gerd and reclaim my migraine. And learn how to write a personal statement.

I put in a claim through my VSO for migraines. I have in service records about having headaches and was recently diagnosed for migraines by a Neurologist at the VA, But, my claim was denied - because I wasn't diagnosed with migraines in service. What can I do? I first received a 30% rating for Asthma and made a secondary claim for sleep apnea and now I'm at 50%

@shotgunkingj1670

7 ай бұрын

Did you have the VSO upload with your claim the documented proof that you reported your migraines while in service and your diagnosis? Also I would use the migraine buddy app to document your migraines, print out the migraine report, write a personal statement, and get the doctor who diagnosed you to fill out a migraine DBQ and upload all of this with your claim.

Hi. I filled my last claim for 3 conditions. PTSD, OSA secondary to PTSD, and migraines secondary to PTSD. I won the PTSD claim and the OSA claim, but was denied my claim for migraines. The reason i was denied was because in my STR it was noted that i had taken Tylenol for a headache the night before going to MEPS. Would it still be possible to submit a new claim for migraines stating that this migraines are aggravated by my PTSD? Or, is it too late? I'm currently at 90%.

You might be able to file for aggravation unless it is noted in MEPS that you specifically had a migraine, but what you can do is say your headache got worse and became a migraine while in service. You can also make a new claim for migraine secondary to OSA.

I separated from the Marine Corps with an honorable discharge after serving 12 years, I had zero clue I was eligible for anything until 2019 and I was not aware that I was eligible for any kind of VA compensation till 2022, I am so PO'd at the fact that I was struggling to make ends meet and pay my bills for over 35 years when I could have been living a relatively comfortable life for the past 35 years and while I am now aware that I am eligible for probably 100% VA disability I still have no clue how to start the paperwork to get what I am due.

@@fishfever5923 read the 38cfr and the M-21 manual to know how they rate your disabilities. Then match up your symptoms to the rating you’re going for. Prepare personal and buddy statements and any extra medical evidence you have (you had better have that evidence or filing for an increase is useless). Upload everything, then wait for them to contact you for the exam. Download the DBQs they will use on you for the exams so you can anticipate what they’ll ask you. You can even have your civilian doctors look at a DBQ and fill it out in your favor but I’d say that’s not necessary. IF you DID have your own doctor fill the DBQ out then that would give your claim more weight over their C&P goons.
