What does this mean

I searched for deferred on the forums here and it seems that the answer were not conclusive. I have already had a C&p exam for everything listed here. 

The 2 things that were deferred were Chronic Fatigue and GERD. Both of these are VERY solidly linked by specialists and the C&P Doc. 

I guess I'm trying to figure out why the 2 contentions that both have SO much evidence would have been deferred???

The contentions that were a little more sketchy were all denied even though there is some evidence and diagnosis just not as much as the other 2 issues. 

Also I thought is you had pain it was automatic 10%??? I have back pain that is service connected but they rated it at 0% 2 different times.

Any advice would be appreciated.

I got pain in the ass you think I could get 10%

Are you unemployed and is it possible they deferred for TDIU consideration?

Or do you get TDIU now?

 

When you got the 70% for PTSD were you employed then? or is the 70% a new award?

Deferred means they are still working on some of the contentions they listed as defered.

Did VA ever prescribed long term use of any NSAIDS?

That is often a reason for GERD and they have granted GERD claims on that basis.

Yes, I agree with Ms Berta, I have gerd due to long term use of NSAIDS as well, and wouldn't have known it resulted from the meds if I hadn't been told by several VA doctors.

Did VA ever prescribed long term use of any NSAIDS? Long term use of Naproxen was prescribed but also GERD was linked several times by specialist and C&P doc to GWI issues

That is often a reason for GERD and they have granted GERD claims on that basis.

I had to get that in. lol. if you got claims that was deferred

than you can look for a new exam and VA doctor opinion about conditions.

Summit all new evidence if you have any or VA will use whats in reecords

I always wait for their opinion from their doc and counter his bull

with my own doctor opinion. That's just me you do what you got to

Good luck. RU
