Make sure you continue treatment of whatever you have claimed. Private or with the VA. More evidence is not gonna hurt you and secondaries may pile on.

the way ive seen it explained is its easier to get a higher raiting based off the new grading system. its specific to citeria to different categories. if you get a LOI and pick which HLR grading system you have them usem. if you got underrated throw it in with the new grading system. Pretty sure they wont downgrade you.

If you weren't sarcastic, we wouldn't trust you :) Thank you for the info

project 2025 will take away all disability bennies

A veteran is not “safe” or grandfathered in when it comes to sleep apnea. 38 CFR § 3.951 (a) The regulation does provide protection against reductions solely due to a change in the Schedule for Rating Disabilities, but it also allows for reductions if MEDICAL EVIDENCE shows that the condition has actually improved. PL 102-86 and 38 CFR 3.952 provide protection against rating reductions solely due to changes in the rating schedule. These laws aim to safeguard veterans from having their ratings reduced just because the criteria for a rating have changed after a certain date (August 13, 1991, for PL 102-86 or April 1, 1946, for 38 CFR 3.952). These laws would protect a veteran from a schedule change-based reduction. If sleep apnea rating criteria were changed after a veteran’s rating was established, the VA couldn’t reduce the rating based on those schedule changes ALONE. 38 CFR § 3.951: states that disability ratings are protected unless there's medical evidence showing actual improvement. If a veteran’s CPAP data demonstrates “significant improvement” in their sleep apnea, it can be considered valid medical evidence of improvement, justifying a reduction in the disability rating. If the CPAP data shows medical evidence of improvement in the condition, the VA is within its rights to reduce the disability rating. The protection offered under PL 102-86 and 38 CFR 3.952 applies only to changes in the rating schedule, not to medical re-evaluations or improvements in the condition itself. 38 CFR § 3.951 explicitly state that the only basis for reducing a rating that was in effect at the time of a rating schedule change is clear medical evidence of actual improvement, which can be shown by CPAP machine data. The "grandfathering" protection in PL 102-86 and 38 CFR 3.952 does not prevent a reduction based on medical improvement, only schedule changes. Medical evidence (like CPAP data) demonstrating improvement can legally be used to reduce a disability rating under 38 CFR § 3.951(a). This is very troubling news for current service-connect veterans diagnosed with a 50% rating for sleep apnea and is prescribed a CPAP machine.

Nice work. How can I get help (advice) on fighting a CUE sent from the VA to me 7/22/24. 1/1/25 is dead line

If you are 100% P & T leave your rating alone, you can't get more than 100% anyway.

Know this, if any veteran has been awarded the 100% P&T "and" said veteran goes back and applies for an additional benefit some number of years down the road. Said veteran opens their original claims back up for review! The same could apply to a vet with an 80% rating, reapply and you could loose! Yes that's right, some of your symptoms may have eased up and during reevaluation you could very well loose your P&T status not to mention getting knocked back down to 80 or even 50%. So think twice or maybe thrice before going after some of these newly accepted claims, like burn pit exposure becuase you could end up on the short end of the stick! Duty Honor Country SSG-GMAN

I am using the treatment from dr Liam ogbebor herbal centre on TH-cam for my tinnitus and hearing loss , including dizziness. I am 3 weeks into the treatment and my Tinnitus is hardly noticeable already hearing is back 80% , the treatment has been helpful for my situation 00-“

I am at 10% tinnitus right now. I am also at 70% PTSD with anxiety and depression. My tinnitus gets really bad during my episodes of anxiety and depression with tension headaches. It gets to the point where the ringing gets louder and my ear drums beat really loud as if my heart was in my ears. I actually went to see my PCP at the VA 2 weeks ago because my tensions headaches would not go away for 2 weeks straight and I mentioned my tinnitus getting worse every time I get the episodes of anxiety and depression. HOW MANY TIMES AM I SUPPOSE TO GO TO MY VA PCP IN ORDER TO SUBMIT FOR A HIGHER RATING FOR MY TINNITUS???

Is an appleal the same as a supplemental?

So for those of you who waited too long to file, tough shit.

THANK YOU! Thank you so much for this. I’ve been rated 100% non p&t for a lung condition that I won on appeal - it took five years but I did win. However, I’ve been denied ssdi over and over and just last week talked to a SSA adjudicator that was asking for evidence that might help get me approved and what he needed was something showing how I was found disabled in the first place. Since this isn’t typically part of our va medical records, I sent him the code sheet from both PEB and the appeal. He sounded hopeful so fingers crossed! I also sent this code sheet with my application for CSRC. It was accepted and is now being reviewed. I don’t realize that it shows whether your conditions were considered combat related!!

This is the problem. I personally spent my career avoiding medical care because it made soldiers look bad during my time. 93-17. Some of my injuries were in my record but most were not. Until 2010 or so any mental health complaint would get your security clearance suspended. Now I’m fighting to survive on just my pension because I’m old and conditions worsen. It’s a total goat fuck

So, NOTHING HAS BEEN HIDDEN! Why sensationalise the headline? Just state VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN FILING NEW OR FOLLOW-UP CLAIMS. In fact the VA hides ZERO, everything you need to know about claims and how the VA processes them can be found at VA.gov or in the Code of Federal Regulations.

Thanks!

I WAS KILLED BY agent ORANGE in 69 and by the GRACE of CHRIST recovered so WHY ask for anything More--BUT 2014 VA destroyed my Athlete Lifestyle and have LIED constantly ever since They know MEDS came from Them and that CLINDAMYCIN does cause the deadly disease C. DIFF---SO MUST CON WORLD and COVER their MISTAKE in the LARGE CRACKS that they Develop. SO SAD WHAT A CURSE on Decent People an Organization that knows NO COMPASSION ALL reap the PIT with NO COMPASSION

YES I brushed it off and still did not SEEK HELP.. BUT VA poisoned me with those DAMN super anti biotics and they DESTROYED my LIFE more than NAM ever did--VA are True LIARS and Cheap People I ran into Not One but Many---Had good results for Years and Then SOMEONE did me in with Lies and KANGEROO Court and ITS All beem LIES since the WHOLE Management Refuses 6 Positive testings for C DIFF Cause by their Medicine BUT since they KNEW medicine was from THem THEY Have LIED about my COMPUTERIZED PROOF of that Deadly disease--Their NEW Trick THREATENING Me with RESTRICTIONS(NO HEALTH CARE) IF I mention C. DIFF LIKE I SAID COMPUTER WORK PROVES i had it many Months VA SAYS NO and WINS for NO CONGRESS PEOPLE NOBODY will take TIME---TOO BAD SO SAD WHAT WORMS THERE ARE EVEN IN AMERICA--True LIARS

Thank you for this information.

I was rated at 53 years with all my conditions being “static”. However, there are people I speak to that says the VA could re-examine me even after the so-called 55 years. It’s all confusing and if true, the term “P&T” is a monomer. Great advice and any comment on my comment is appreciated in advance. APTTMHY

What if your 60?

Welp, I will be 55 next year.

How and where do I get my code sheet?

13E Artillery, tinnitus was my easiest claim, but not my 1st.

Good info. But, it should be *"TDIU"* status. Not, TDY...

Great videos keep up the good work!! Thanks for making these too!

Every healthcare facility should have an office of information it makes both medical and benefit records quickly available

There should be a simple rule any information helpful to veterans as patients should not be withheld

Thanks for your helpful information!

The things I learn everyday. Appreciate your hard work , Thank you.

Great info…..Thanks

How do I get the CODE SHEET??

Shalom. Yes, I just requested the VA code sheet from the VBA. Thanks for the great info. APTTMHY

They told me shipmate

Got to get your Claims file.

How do you get the code sheet? I have never received on in all of my denials. Thank you!

Good content.... Keep up the good work! 👌

100% isn’t being issued anymore. I speak from experience.

If ptsd is getting worse, more medication is prescribed by VA, can I ask for an increase?

Best to be 100 pt so no more exams

Thank you for this information. I am a few years away from 55 (currently just turned 53) and was recently granted service connection today at 100% P%T. It states in the letter that it was 100% effective Jan 31, 2024. I think I just crossed the finish line. That is outside of unusual circumstances. APTTMHY

Thanks. Nice job

AND THE DEMOCRATS can't understand why no one wants to sign up for military service !

I just got my 70% rating for MH, im already 65yrs old...am i protected just from my age alone?

"the VA has a pretty chill standard"... No they don't, I fought them for 7 years to even get diagnosed.

Millions a year are wasted on erroneous and poorly executed exams.

So while reducing unnecessary C&P exams, the VBA could insure more veterans could be getting their claims adjudicated quicker by C&P examiners that could complete the required C&P exams. Wouldn’t that be a great thing? Good video thanks for sharing.
