:D This is my problem, I am 100% IU and have been for about 6 months. Since my award I have had surgery on my left knee that is SC for degenerative arthritis. I called my VSO to ask him about putting in a claim and he told me to "not stir the pot". Recently I have been diagnosed with hearing loss, tinnitus, depression from chronic pain and degenerative arthritis to my R ankle.
The hearing loss is documented in my SMR, hearing test that I was given when entering and leaving the service.
The other diagnosis are documented in my VA med records all stating that they are secondary to my SC conditions.
My question is should I file a claim now that I have all these other issues or wait. I have a C&P for my back in April so I am not sure what to do.
