Question
USMCVet13
I'm planning to file a claim for several issues I've been having since separating in 2013. I didn't file a claim at EAS, but met with a VSO last week. I was planning to file a claim only for recurring pain and urinary issues I've had since a pyeloplasty completed in service. While going through my records, he asked if several things were still bothering me, then recommended that I file claims for those things. From what I've read, because I've been out so long, it will be almost impossible to win anything without continuous symptoms, treatment, and a solid medical opinion. He didn't seem to think that was necessary. He just recommended that I see a PCP to get a current diagnosis.
Does he sound a little inexperienced, or is that not necessary because I have that stuff documented in my service records?
