VA denial for insomnia secondary to service connected patellofemoral pain syndrome.
Hello. I was recently denied secondary insomnia to my service connected patellofemoral pain syndrome even though a VA sleep dr diagnosed me with insomnia and the Cp examiner linked my sleep disorder to my left knee pain. Reading the CFR that they stated doesn’t say anything like they wrote for their explanation. Doesn’t this write up seem to contradict itself? Jay

Adding foreign spouse to benefits?
Hello, apologies if this is in the wrong forum. I'm P&T TDIU and will be marrying a foreign woman in the near future, in Sweden specifically. We will marry in Sweden and then upon my return to the US I will file for her to be permitted to permanently immigrate here as my spouse. I looked at the application to add a dependent to my benefits (not going to submit until after the actual wedding) and I saw it requires her social security number. She does not have one as she has not been to the US yet, although she will obtain one in the future whenever she is entitled to it per our immigration laws. Will this prevent me from adding her as a dependent for the pay incre…

"YES, I have a dependent parent(s)." ?
I hope this is the correct place for this question rather than the CAREGIVER section. Anyway, here goes. My father (a 20 year honorably discharged, retired air force veteran) that is now 88 years old, now requires assistance that his wife, my stepmother (also 88 years old) is not able to provide for him as she is also, no longer capable of doing so. By next week, I will have full power of attorney over my father's healthcare, property, banking & any other assets and liabilities going forward until he passes away. While he is currently able to watch TV, dress, bath, groom, cook simple meals and feed himself, he is not able to do the following: Dr…

What about my Offspring?
Dear Veterans, I need assistance in determining whether my adult child is entitled to any VA disability benefits. Although she was never in the service, she has developed many of the psychological issues that I suffer from because of my neuro-behavioral condition after exposure to the contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. She has never been to Lejeune either by the way. I have been awarded permanent and total unemployability from the VA because of my condition. It stands to reason that if my offspring was affected by that same condition through me that they should be entitled to some benefits. If this doesn’t seem too outlandish, where should I begin? Thanks in advanc…

Effective Date(s)
Hello, Amazing forum, I've been searching through it endlessly and happily seeing fellow Veterans are being taken care of! I was awarded 60% (50% service connected PTSD and %10 for Tinnitus) in 2015. Upon going through my records (VA Problems) I found that I was diagnosed by the VA Dr. in 2012 (within 1 year from returning from Afghanistan) with "Nightmare disorder" (has anyone seen PTSD diagnosed as this?), Insomnia and Tinnitus. Even prescribed Prazosin by the VA Dr which was for PTSD (I had suicidal thoughts while on this and discontinued use). This was NOT a C&P exam but a VA appointment. My initial claim did not have PTSD listed or tinnit…

Sorry for the long post but I really need assistance. I put in a claim for plantar fascitis in 2012. It was denied in 2013 and I appealed it. It was denied again in 2018 and In 2019 I appealed it again and it was once again denied. In 2020, I filled an higher level review and the VA noticed an error. I was scheduled for an exam here in Ga where I live. I attended it on 02/06/2021. The company that was contracted to do the appointment was LHI. After the exam, the VA stated that they needed clarification on the medical opinion. LHI scheduled the medical opinion of a NP in Texas to do this. The medical opinion was done on 04/26/2021. This morning, I called…

VA Claims Help From Other Companies
Can anybody recommend a decent company to help with a new claim, as well as appeal existing claims? I don't want to work with https://vetcompandpen.com Any other suggestions will be helpful. I'm at 60% and the recent claim was partially approved, and partially denied. I have a few other things I want to add so I need a company willing to do both. The last company I used moved me from 40% to 60% but will only work with existing issues, and will not help with new claims. I know they charge, and I'm happy to pay. AG
