Question
vlobo
I filed a claim for SC of a fractured hip that I incurred while I was in basic training in 2003. I got out in 2006 and have always had pain but have been ignorant to the process the majority of the time I was out. In 2011, I went to an ortho for pain in that same hip. The ortho said I have post traumatic arthritis, most likely form the fracture, and he recommended me filing a claim. I filed a claim in 2012 and submitted all the documents from my private physician and my STRs, both discuss the hip. I was initially shot down because my private physician gave me poor documentation. I filed an NOD and finally saw a DRO in June of 2016, with new, more in depth documentation including x rays and MRIs. I still haven't heard anything and am unsure what to expect next. Benefits really doesn't let me see any updates on the status of the appeal. Any suggestions? The DRO seemed surprised when she saw that there was post traumatic arthritis and said she would definitely look into it. Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.
