Question
Rude1122
I found out yesterday I was denied for fibromyalgia and ibs. I was in the gulf war 90-94. I put in a claim for presumptive. I had 2 dbqs filled out from specialist and all my medical records sent in. I called the ro to see why it was denied. First he said because there was nothing in my military records. I replied it is presumptive because I was in gulf war. He put me on hold. When he came back he told me the doctor who did the c+p linked it to another illness. I told him I saw the c+p and the doctor never mentioned that. She actually backed up my doctor diagnosis by finding all the tender points. He then said he would call me back. When he called back he told me there was nothing he could do because the claim closed. He told me to fill out a nod form and email it to him and he would expidite the appeal. He said he couldn't guarantee it would be approved but he would have someone else look at it. Does this sound fishy to anyone else?

Do you fully fall into the GWV criteria? Were you able to prove with medical evidence that these conditions were manifested to at least at 10% disabling? Do you have your SMRs and were there a
