Hello, well today My appeal was denied again. VA stated that it is related to military service but I did not seek medical attention while on active duty for there fore my service conected claim is denied. The VA also cited that having Varicose Veins does NOT consitute a disibility. The funny thing is that I have been treated for this condition since 2003 after I had retired from the marines. During my exam for Comp & pension and the VA doctor both agreed this is a valued claim but again the rating board still looks at Why I did not seek medical attention while on active duty. So now the only thing that was offered to me was to request a Video hearing on my claim that was denied. So what I'm asking is what would be the best recourse for me or should I just stop because I'm just spining my wheels? This is a funny world we live in because I met a veteran that gets 20% for having an ingrown toe nail due to active duty wow.
