My VA rep recently filed a claim on my behalf for temp 100% due to the time I missed from work for recent surgeries. I told my rep I would like to submit an additional claim for the problems I am having with my jaw such as the limited range of motion, facial pain and headaches. My rep told me after my current claim is decided the VA will automatically administer an examination for my current medical condition and then decide my percentage of disability. Is this right? I was under the impression I had to submit additional claims for the loss of motion for my jaw, pain, and headaches. Also, I am already service connected for TMJ.
