Hello and good day to you all. I was recently scheduled by the VA to have a C&P on my back that I am already getting 40% on. The appointment was set for January 4, 2017. On Jan 3, 2017 the C&P DR called me and said she need to have an X-ray done before she can see me. I could not get it done the day before so she told me to cancel my appoint one hour before and she will put in the order fro the X-ray. I took the X-rays on Jan 5, 2017. I received a call from AMVETS that the VA is reducing my rating from 70% to 0 because I did not show to my C&P. I followed the instructions of the DR and today I receive a letter in the mail saying I owe the VA $7500. What do I need to do to fight this, please let me know. Thanks

Hello Berta, just got a chance to read your reply to my questions and issue. I have recently requested a copy of my VA c-file and once I receive them I will have a more clear understanding of how to proceed with my additional claims. How many buddy statement do I need to back some of my claims and I have seen my civilian doctor on several occasion for the neck pain. I also requested another copy of my medical records form the VA because they have my medical records from active duty.

Hello as I have stated I am new to this forum and I am still trying to figure out if I am in the right area. Maybe I can get some direction. Well, I filed a claim with the VA with 12 potential service connected disability and they gave me a rating of 60 % on four. 1. Service connected for degenerative joint disease and degenerative disc disease of the lumbosacral spine at 40 % 2. SC for gastroesophagel reflux disorder with chronic chest pain 10% 3. SC for left knee patellofemoral syndrome 10 % 4. SC of postoperative right inguinal hernia which was rated at 0 now at 10 % 5. SC for hemorrhoids denied 6. SC for neck injury denied. 7. SC for chronic seasonal allergic rhinitis with chronic headaches denied. 8. SC for scar of right eyebrow denied. 9. SC for pseudofolliculits denied. 10. SC SC for tinea pedis denied. 11. SC for bilateral hearing loss denied. 12. Sc for tinnitus denied. Some of the claim they explained why I was denied but the one on tinnitus, I could not believe they denied that claim. I have been a Air Cargo Spealists and the field has now changet to Air Transpoetation and I have been exposed ot loud noise and did numerous engine run onload/off load (ERO). The only loud noise I have worked around is jets C-5, C-141, C-130, C-17, C-23, KC-10, 747, KC-135, DC-8, C-9, AN-124, IL-76 and all the fighters in the AF inventory that take off and land while working on the flight line for all those years. In addition I have filed another three claims, one for the scar caused from the hernia operation, one for sleep apnea and one for my right knee although threre is no documentation of SC in my medical file. I believe that because the left is going the right has to compensate. On the sleep apenia, there is no documentation in my file of sleep apena but there is documentatin on +PND (Paroxysmal Noctural Dyspnea) I was told this is related to sleep apena. I currently have sleep apena and have a CPAP machine from my medical provider. Need some advise how to tackle this with the VA.

Hello and good day to you all. I had a haed time getting to this area to post a message and I dont think I am on the right area but hopefully I can get some assistance. I recently filed approximately 12 claims with the VA and I received a rating of 60% of only 4 of the claims and I was denied on the other 8. I would like to get some assistance on how to proceed with some of the claims that were denied. Additionally, I recently filed another claim to include sleep apnea. There is no documentation in my file for sleep apena but there is documentation of +PND and I was told that is related to sleep apnea. Please let me know how to proceed with this claim. Thanks
