Question
LCPL Dressler
I was diagnosed with Bronchiectasis, Asthma, Allergic Rhinitis and a couple other things in the USMC. Was medically discharged from USMC early. I currently have 30% for asthma and 0% service connected for bronchiectasis. Here is the problem, I am wanting to pursue claims for Bronchiectasis. I have prescribed prednisone 4-5 times in the last year. From what I was reading, that is considered "systemic steroids" which could help my claim showing that I keep getting chest infections and that I am not lying about my severity. I constantly have to cough to remove phlegm from my lungs on a daily basis (not kidding). They keep denying me any percentage other than 0%. I just don't know what to do. I cannot get ahold of the DAV ever! I just need help with getting the right words to ask my doctor to write for my claim. I have been seeing the doctor for 5 years now for the same problem and he knows that this is serious and chronic. Does anyone know about systemic steroids, and if it could help my claim. Any help would be appreciated, Thank you guys for the help. Email me or write here. thank you!
