Latest VA Claims Discussions

• Ellis Clinic IMO/IME February 22, 2019
  I am honestly not sure how much weight these will hold. From my research, they only want IMO's from a NP, PA, MD/DO or PhD/Psyd (mental). Now, I could be wrong, but that is what I have gathered.
• OSA secondary to PTSD round 2 February 22, 2019
  Go to the sleep study. Mostly that is required before you get a prescription for a CPAP, and you will get a low percent, if any, if you have OSA NOT requiring a cpap. If you have already had a sleep study, go again.
• RAMP: SMC S denial February 22, 2019
  Correct, Buck. I was hoping not to go through 4 more years of this in light of the fact I have already been waiting 17 years, since 2002.
• VA Compensation Rating February 22, 2019
  You said : "I know this because I just recently received my brown envelope that stated that even though there was plenty of evidence in folder." and that the claim was recently denied. Did you make any attempt to have the missed C & P exams rescheduled? It is the C & P exam and […]
• "...the date first filed or facts found." February 22, 2019
  I always use the regulations themelves because BVA does : "The general rule regarding effective dates is that the effective date of an evaluation and award of compensation based on an original claim, a claim re-opened after final disallowance, or a claim for increase will be the date of receipt of the claim or the […]
• Seeing a neurologist for fibro DBQ? February 22, 2019
  I did not try to link them as secondary. I am now wondering if they are trying to, but they are both service connected seperatly. I checked VA.gov and it was at the gathering of evidence without a third request and now today I look and it is at pending decision approval with the third […]
• Phone C&P February 22, 2019
  Its moving "forward", yes. You probably have xrays or maybe MRI's of your joints, and those should be available in your records. Further, you had medical exams by other doctors. Based upon your testimony, along with previous medical exams and tests, the c and p doc can render his opinion(s). Im not real crazy about […]
• Does an in-service diagnosis qualify as an event for direct SC? February 22, 2019
  Probably. A background with more specific facts will yield a more definate answer. I like one word answers also, but its often not that simple with VA. The "diagnosis" itself is not an "event" per se . Did your entrance exam show you had the disorder? If so, it might be about "aggravation" of an […]
• Is this a bad thing? February 22, 2019
  Do you have a current diagnosis of Meniere's Disease?
• Started My MST/PTSD Journey February 22, 2019
  When I submitted my PTSD claim thru a VSO, it took a week or 2 before it showed up on eBenefits. Then it took another 2 months before I got my C&P Exam. It is really hard to know what they are going to ask but read over everything before going to your appointment. Do […]
