Has anyone filed a claim for sleep apnea associated with agent orange? Did they accept it?

Has anyone filed a claim regarding severe leg cramps.

I don't have a CAC card, a CIV card, and for some reason I'm not in DEERS. What do I do now?

Does a C-File contain copies of all previous claims and correspondence with the VA? Also when you request your "C-File" on form 3288, does the VA know what you want? Do you request this info from your RO? What are VMAC records and 201 files? Sorry for all the questions. Still learning.

Fantastic!!!!

My SO (American Legion) is looking over my file to see if they were in error when they denied my claim.

Does the fact that they wanted proof injury was incurred in service mean they didn't have the info in making their decision?

Would going the DRO route be better in my case? They denied my claim stating they needed proof my injury( problems with wrist that was fractured in RVN ) was incurred in service. This was after a c&p 2 months after I was discharged. I was a mess after I got back, I didn't know what to do, and obviously my SO didn't either. So her I am, rated 10% for my wrist, And feel they owe me retro back to 1/9/1970. Thank all of you for your service. NEVER GIVE UP!!!!

jbasser You're right. What doesn't make it any easier, is when your VSO doesn't understand what the VA did wrong when they denied my claim 41 years ago. I feel I might have to do this part on my own. Of course, I'm a student of this site. I just have to put it together right before I submit my case. The input on this site is invaluable.

Thanks alot.

How would you go about filing a denied claim error using 38 cfr 3.156 c?

I called the 1-800-827-1000 number to get registered for Ebenefits because I'm not elegible for DS Login. I was told they would do it. I've now been waiting on the phone for 1 1/2 hours!! Is this the norm? Correction. 2 1/2 hours!!

Do they need a copy of your marriage certificate? The Dependent form doesn't say.

When I filed my claim the VSO didn't have me fill out a Dependent form. Will this be considered a new claim when I file the Dependent form and will they pay retro seeing I was married when I filed my claim?

Congratulations!!!!
