I just got the call and scheduled an appointment. Am i too late? Can i get some pointers?

I have my case number

Very nice, bodacious tata's. Good info too !

Thank you for your service. I’m a Navy vet as well 🫡 Would you have advice for my situation? It’s been over 5 years since I was rated 100%. Nothing has changed with my disability, so I would like to know if there is anything I can do to get this reviewed for P&T at this point?

Great information

You are so sincere and knowledgeable on VA disability.

They wont

Can neuropathy also be the cause of my hand tremors due to neck injury Great video , thank you

Very true statement, I have 70%loss in left and 40% right the hearing aids from the VA are the best and they gave me a device to bluetooth my tv also did c&p exam in June and still have NOT been rated yet been in decision since Aug.If your not rated it will cost you a 50$ co pay the aids an other devices are free ,my MOS is supposed to be presumptive on there chart 19K (Army) M1 tanks do you know why it might be taking a longer time for decisions when I left the exam examiner said ought to be notified in a couple of months been 6 months since exam

You forgot to include secondaries, such as mental health issues like depression along with tinnitus, balance issues & headaches/migraines. Don’t stop at the primary issues, there can be many secondaries too. Good luck.

Thank you. I'm a bookkeeper in Arizona helping a LA business register a tradename and it is totally different than what I'm used to in AZ. This was just what I needed.

Did you receive the National Guard records on CD or paper?

I was denied and service connected in the same letter but denied for benefits of course

At the end of your recovery, reevaluate the veteran and the likelihood of a reduction in current rating increases? Especially, because surgery typically "improves" condition.

How do i start applying for champva for my spouse?

Hello April. Can you help me get my benefits. Chief master handwrote letter yet nothing. Serious lifetime injury. Removed my spine and it does not fit. The doctor now lives in Dubai 30 floors up

what you some things than cause this? i was just diagnosed with having it in my feet. and hair on legs gone.

I was exposed to noise polution working in the engineroom for 5 yrs on two different ships. My hearing is normal but my tinnitus is Constant and louder when i have a cold. My hearing test proves my hearing is normal. Actually, my ears are sensitive to loud noise. So sensitive. Currently waiting for the results of my claim.

Do the exposure 2 Asbestos count. I was at Navy ship yard on the Uss. Independence in the 80s

QUESTION: I had a C&P exam last month for hearing loss and tinnitus. I claimed that both my hearing loss and tinnitus was due to acoustic trauma and to ototoxic exposure when I spray painted military vehicles with CARC paint in 1982. The medical literature I submitted with my initial claim supported that both hearing loss and tinnitus can be caused from exposure to toluene, ethyl benzene, diesel fuel, methyl ethyl ketone, lead compounds, tricholorethane, and xylene. All of these chemicals are associated with CARC paint and/or with the cleaning solvents I used while painting. When I entered the military my hearing tested normal, and when I discharged the threshold had changed to indicate a loss of hearing. The C&P examiner tested me and said he was recommending a favorable finding. My concern is that the VA did not ask the C&P examiner to include any TERA related questions. When I asked the C&P examiner why he did not ask about TERA, he confirmed that his instructions from the VA did not include TERA. So my question is that even if I get service connected for the hearing loss and tinnitus, should I contact the VA and ask for another C&P audiology exam that includes the TERA aspect? (I realize that TERA will not make any difference in my rating percentage.) Thanks!

Yes play your harp

The PACT ACT is just a name although the government makes it seem like the PACT ACT is going to take care of disabled veterans. However, they are really going to make you fill out a million TPS rpeorts, do dolphin tricks, deny your claims and send you back to square number one to fill out more TPS reports. It's all a facade to ACT like they want to take care of vets.....

More great info. Critical step in developing a claim...gathering military records. The hospital retrieved the paper records. Did they scan and send on CD or other digital format, or did they mail paper copies? Thank you for another great video. Keep them coming.

VA Secure Messaging, in the VA App and in a web browser, is very empowering. Managing my care is MUCH MORE efficient than without it. I have sent countless messages to multiple providers: PCP, Specialists, Pharmacy, etc. And they typically respond with 2-3 business hours. Secure Messaging is also a great tool when you are seeking treatment and using those progress notes as evidence to support your claim. You should always review your VA encounters for accuracy. When you find errors or discrepancies, send a Secure Message to the Provider calling out the error and request it to be corrected. When the VA Rater reviews your VA Notes, they will see your secure message correcting errors that may be counterproductive to your claim. Thank you for sharing.

Congratulations on your milestone 👍🇺🇸

I tried community care also for an issue with podiatry and vascular issue that ultimately was never received, developed gangrene costing me my right leg after already losing my left leg. Now I am a bilateral above the knee amputee, both legs above the knee. Thanks community could care less. Be very careful going to community care, they really do not care. Thats the truth

My Health eVet is a great tool, and Secure Messages is a critical component of support that enhances the care we receive from the VA. Unfortunately, you can only send messages to Recipients that are in the drop-down "TO" list, or as a reply to a message you received. If the Provider you are trying to Message is NOT in the drop-down Recipient List, reach out to the My Health eVet Support Representative at your clinic. Every clinic has one. This Rep will be able to add the Provider to your drop-down Recipient List. Keep in mind the Recipient List only contains Provider Groups. You cannot send Secure Messages to individual Providers, only to Provider Groups. But, you can add the name of the Provider in the Subject Line and/or address them in the body of the message.

I use this all the time. Always a timley response.

My mental health examiner (depression) definitely asked baited questions to not rate me that high. Asked a lot about family life before service. Also kept trying to get me to say that my life is fine as long as I have medication.

Great information

Yeah people (not companies) love doing things that are funny to them and them alone. The whole “she must be pissed off right about now” vibe I recommend not bringing up anything ever And sometimes you won’t get the poop stick

VES>QTC in politeness

They WHO?

You forgot to add mental health issues with hearing loss or CAPD, depression would be a good secondary condition & possibly migraines/headaches as secondary’s too. Just a thought.

Could you possibly answer a question, I received a 0% rating on my TBI, can I use a mental health C&P exam results that was conducted a month later, to help me with my HLR on my TBI rating?

Beautiful! Thank you for sharing your talents.

Oh...you can also provide a window of UNavailability...like if you are going to be out of town...The contract company will schedule around those dates. Keep in mind though that this flexibility is limited in scope. You can also reschedule a C&P exam one time.

Good info...but do you actually play the harp? 🙂

How do I get in touch with you , I have 4 claims and they have been in decision for months 1 is tinitis for me is presumptive because of my mos

Very informative! Thank you very much.

Hi. Within the first 19 days after fling my initial claim on 10/10/24, I had 1 specialty exam for eyes (20 min.), 1 specialty exam for hearing loss & tinnitus (45 min.), and 1 general exam for GERD, ED, reactive airways, sinusitis, rhinitis with polyps, OSA, mid and lower back, sciatica, bilateral wrist arthritis, and migraines (5 hours). I’m still waiting to be contacted to schedule an exam for depression, but other than that I should be done. I learned that the VA doesn’t give the examiners all of your submitted evidence, so you’ll have to bring it with you to the exam. Luckily, I went prepared. The examiners are super busy, so they’re not going to look at everything. (My examiner flat-out told me she was not going to look at my migraine journal because she didn’t have time, but the questions she asked covered everything about what I had documented.) They get only 500 characters to write a narrative to the VA about your claim, so preparation is key. HAVE YOR FILES ORGANIZED AND KNOW WHERE EVERYTHING IS.

Today's date 5 Nov 2024. Received my CD too. Submitted request April 2024.😊

This is one of the most informative tutorials on VA claims process that I have ever seen , thank you.

Very informative and thank you for supporting us veterans!!!
