Thank you for making this video as I pulled away great tips. My information conference resulted in a reinstatement of my 100% rating. I appreciate you helping all of us!

Glad it was helpful!

I was awarded 30% for migraines and knew that I met the rating standards for 50%. I fully believe it was the informal conference that got it approved. I explained that my decision letter stated that I have migraines about once a month. I had told the C&P examiner and my Primary Care doctor that they occur 2-3 a week. He agreed that I met the standard for 50% and it was awarded. He also found a Duty to Assist error and sent that part back to evaluate me for TDIU.

Awesome! Nice work. Thanks for sharing and watching

Requested HLR for Migraines 2nd to Tinituus. Submitted fully developed claim (nexus, diagnosis, lay statements, personal statement). C&P examiner stated it was determined I have a diagnosis of Migraines with variants. HLR was "Closed" same day submitted without requested Informal conference. Now saying HLR closed: Issues on review: 3 compensation issues. Still waiting for letter. Anyone else ever experienced that?

Great useful information! New sub looking forward to more great content.

Hey man salute to you. I got called for the HLR now about 2 days ago. I live near ATL. I will be calling them tomorrow & setting up the appt. I see there in the background of your video that you also as I did served within “Rock of the Marne” 3RD ID. I served all my military time on Fort Benning myself. I am fighting against the effective date of my stomach issues which I was given the max rating basically before NYE dropped. I am a bit nervous however, my 100 P.T. Is static in nature due to my 100% PTSD so I’m not really worried abt anything being decreased per se with this phone convo. I hope that it comes back favorable cause I could really use the back pay $$$ man. Indeed I do! Huuuah! We will see how it goes. I have my docs on my PC that I was gonna use to submit the HLR back in early January yet, I held back. I have Dav as my PoA but they really haven’t helped me with shit here there hasn’t been no benefits I can see since linking with them tbh not to say they suck I just don’t see it dwn here.

I gotcha. Wow. Yeah I was in Iraq as well man served my deployment over there some years after you in 2009-11. It's a small world indeed. I've called the number back actually earlier to set up for an appt. for the informal review. So, I'm guessing since it's Friday & we are headed into a holiday now I will hear back from them Tuesday prob. due to the holiday. I reference back to your video prior & thanks for the guidance yo💯

Can I ask you what your 100% PTSD is related to? How do you get rated 100% for PTSD? I am a Vietnam vet and never filed a VA claim before (I served 16 months in Vietnam in 1969), I have my first PTSD claim C&P exam in a week and need any helpful information you can share. Thanks

Just talked to a person from VES about an increased I put in for trying to go from 80% to 100% does anyone know of or had to use them for your C&P. BYW good information.

My buddy got denied for a shoulder injury, requested a HLR, and the reviewer stated that his evidence is there in his medical records. HLR kicked it back to the rater and still got denied

The HLR takes forever lol. I put in an HLR last august 2023. Had an informal conference DEC 2023, new C AND P exam Jan 2024, and no decision so far. Expect to wait a very long time on an HLR unfortunately.

Hi Sir. I submitted a OSA claim secondary to PTSD with OBESITY as an intermediate and got denied. My nexus letter talked about my binge eating for mental comfort causing weight gain followed by OBESITY and therefore OSA. Got the diagnosis and required a CPAP. My denial letter said that OBESITY (as well as genetics or anatomical factors) was one of the risk factors that could’ve caused OSA, but still got denied. The examiner contradicted herself. They did not consider my weight gain (for positive or negative). They just took it as if I submitted it as a straight secondary with no intermediate. Is this a good candidate for an HLR? Thanks.

You can't submit new evidence for an informal conference. The point of the conference is to speak with the VA. Maybe your lawyer is inexperienced?

I requested a HLR. Had 6 items that got denied for TERA, even though that’s not what was linked. They submitted the TERA memo in Dec. All items before we approved, all items after were denied. Informal conference didn’t seem like this would be adjusted. Hopefully it is, but the whole TERA memo is a huge pain.

They are considering everything as TERA now. It's really doing an injustice to vets who aren't claiming Tera

I still dont get that, i got like 5 things denied as well and it said TERA so does that mean they think i tried to claim that because of TERA . What does TERA MEAN

@@gustavoalberto1920 TERA basically means toxic exposure. With the PACT act the VA is being overinclusive and considering everything to be toxic exposure related even if it isn't. Set up a call if you need help www.vetlawoffice.com

I filed HLR for wrong effective date and they denied me. They ignored my intent to file on record. They paid me from the date I filed the claim which was exactly 1 yr from ITF date. Their reason was because I have been out of service over 1 year 🤔 wait, WHAT?? They pulled that out of thin air. What are my options now..oh and they never called me for my informal conference 😒

What do I do when the VA stole my identity

who made the mistake at the va of deferring lung cancer when my va med records my right lung was taken out 1988 and left lung healthy as of now. I filed for right lung pneumonectory due to TERA. The decision says I am positive for TERA but deferred lung cancer????
