  1. Well I can say yes i have both and my kids have secondary both. Va champ is also secondary but having an ex wife helps out with negotiations for child expenses…
  2. So I was told that the supplemental appeal filed in Jan where I submitted the evidence to prove my HLR was closed in Feb, but they have to now consider that evidence which is in my file for my HLR from Nov. Just a thought in case you have evidence you need to submit for HLR after the fact of filing it
  3. So I had a new claim for hearing loss Jan 8 not secondary to anything else, to see if I messed up by saying it was due to my tinnitus in 2021/ 2023. My December burn pit claim was also open at the same time but they made their decision sent it got it in mail but it remained opened. They closed the new claim in Jan. And combined it with the claim they just decided and kept it open from Dec 12, so confusing not complaining just drives me nuts.
  4. I signed into Law with the county council president New Castle County is property tax exempt if your 100% disabled in Delaware…..
  5. So something weird is going on behind the VA doors. My HLR shows no movement my toxic exposure claim from dec says decision sent yet remains open, then they add a new disability on the gathering of evidence stage, the same disability in my HLR. Think thats a good sign but I have no idea anymore
  6. My biggest tool I used in 2015/2016 was recent BVA decisions, its become more user friendly if you don’t remember the good old days of the “ “ key words I implore you to check it out. So curious on how it comes out but Ive screen shot turned into files and attached to pending claims for hearing loss for my 3M plug use if remanded I at least can bring in a pair I wore still in my possession. Va says I have hearing loss for VA healthcare purposes just not disability purposes in 2021 and 2023. The best tool for research has and will always be Hadit and my recent decisions for the BVA
  7. I don’t understand why the rule is you are only granted effective when you file. I recently have 3 disabilities 2 from burn pits filed in December granted effective in September not sure if it was a congressional thing but my claim i filed on Feb 15 they closed out and added it lt my pending claim bill from November that was about to close but now it remains open for bilateral hearing loss.
  8. Had the same thing happen but it was I filed a new claim the VA closed the new claim and sent the disability to the l older claim back into gathering of evidence for the new disability under the older claim…..but the decision was sent and the burn pit disability show on my disability list
  9. I had a reputable attorney and in a way felt attacked by the person for continuing my journey to 100% P and T and not excepting being tdiu 100% P and T after an appeam they got me, they can be wrong as well. I got to 100% scheduler P and T with doing my own research from hadit and sharing my stories on the way to that it. Thank you Hadit for being here
  10. The claim for the pact act hasn't closed but shows two new disabilities in my service connected list and says decision sent Feb 15th. But instead of closing the claim they added hearing loss to the open claims, the disability from the HLR still open and the supplemental appeal which closed Feb 10th into the claim. So I have no idea whats moving and whats next. Hearing loss wont give me anymore compensation just have been fighting for the service connection with the VA since 2021, there first denial saying my MOS was on the list, but with no way to show my service was the cause to my hearing loss just tinnitus due to my TBI. But now Im in and will be receiving part of the 3M settlement for the plugs I wore saying my hearing was effected because of the plugs as proof as being the cause of my tinnitus and my hearing loss. So if I go to an exam I will most definitely show the settlement reports that Im eligible and their IMO they have from my military medical records as their reasoning that im qualified to see the doctors reaction. Last time I mentioned it he blew me off in 2021 and in 2022 because other then being on the docket it wasn’t approved until last year. I know this sounds petty but having an accurate disability list with accurate dx is more to me then money. Also my journey will help others, with service connected the over 200k veterans in the settlement can go in the settlement portal and print the documents for the evidence to take to the examination. Thats if mine is a success story Ill be updating this post… IMG_8289hearing.pdf IMG_8288tinnitus.pdf
  11. So update as of friday the supplemental appeal has been closed that I filed in January 30th. The claim for burnpit service connected 0 and 10%.As for the HLR still its says no movement as of November, but as the appeal was for the same thing which I sent in my evidence of the lawsuit I was involved with showing my hearing loss tied to the earplug use and my military time which was closed on the 8th of Feb now that evidence is in my file will the HLR have to take that evidence into consideration? If so filing an HLR and a supplemental appeal at the same time was definitely good plan if you have evidence shows your service connected . I mean it could have went the other way I guess the VA being slow has it benefits which I have never said and Ill deny it if someone asks me lol
  12. Im just reading this to sorry, but file a claim for tbi residuals to get the ball rolling. If you get an IMO might be all you need for service connection and then their C and P. But damn 2016 sorry never saw this until now that was the year a won my appeal at the BVA for my tbi
  13. This happened to me actually I walked into my regional off in Delaware and wrote my complaint down the Secretary walked to the regional director office the director came out and said it was an issue the rater missed it it will be fixed thus giving my kids Champva and DEA benefits
  14. Get a cat scan to check out what residuals if any are still present. If your 100% the VA will do it free have a neurologist at the VA look at it and present your facts and story. If she says you did you did and file…. But it will be lumped into one rating of whichever ones higher with more symptoms is the one youll get or like me they lumped ptsd as a symptom of my TbI residuals and made it 100% p and t
