Good Morning All, I have a few questions regarding my VA compensation : 1) The (2) foot numbness and tingling disabilities are related to plantar fasciitis which was documented during one of my VA visits. Should I request this to be opened within eBenefits or do i need further documentation. 2) A few of my disabilities have further degenerated. Should I apply for an increase without any real documentation that supports my claims? 3) A few months ago I went to the emergency room thinking I was having a heart attack. False alarm, apparently I was having anxiety attacks (first time ever). I had a few appointments with the VA mental health clinic and the shrink said I may be experiencing panic/anxiety attack from service related experiences. I was prescribed some kind of anti-depressant which I took for a few days, but had to discontinue do to the side effects. The main reason I have not pressed this issue with the VA is because I work for a company that requires a security clearance and in the future I will need to have my Top Secret. I guess what I am saying is... I do not want to somehow be diagnosed with PTSD from anxiety attacks than somehow not be eligible for a higher clearance. Below is a chart of my current disability status.
