New and material evidence to reopen claim for service connection, Sleep Apnea I saw this in the va .gov website can you please tell me what this means did they grant me service connection or just reopened it for sleep Apnea other contentions still showing on appeal
-
I wanted to follow up on the thread I started so here it is when the rater closed my claim the exams showed up at the VA the very next day so what I did was send an inquiry and also filed a 20-0996 asking for a higher level review asking to include al the exams by direction of the VA that I took for said claim Diabetes, I have viewed the dbq and all dbqs associated with the exams, the diabetes examiner he some how changed my diagnosis to type 1 from type 2 he also has my dates of service off by 10 years and based his negative rationale on the wrong diagnosis Va diagnosed me type 2 more than once in the last 20 years waiting on call from higher level reviewer wish me luck guys

Dav read the letter and evidence used to make decision today too me over phone letter will be mailed After labor day September 3 2019

The Va sent me to 3 different c and p exams for my diabetes blood work, diabetes dbq, and opthamologist I recently found out I was denied without exams never being received by the va I have been asking for months to see if they have been received as of today still not received by the va but a denied claim what should I do
-
today I asked the va to please look at presumption of soundness, preexisting condition, presumption of aggravation on my sleep apnea claim only because I know the c and p examiner gave a less than likely opinion on my sleep apnea and used buddy statements that pretty much said I snored before entering service and during service but gave no aggravation explanation only medical diagnosis was in December 2015 ,to late now but should I have done this yes or no
-
if service connected for diabetes will the va consider rating cataract surgeries and eye injections before the service connection of the diabetes if the condition caused the eye condition
-
I will appeal the decision but something else confuses me in ebenefits it says 0 percent but not service connected I have another 0 percent disability and it says service connected
-
I filed as one of my contentions voiding dysfunction with urinary frequency because I take Lisonopril for hypertension which I also claimed well they gave me 0% for the urinary frequency and voiding dysfunction
I was wondering how connect one and not the hypertension.

Ms. Berta they treating me with insulin i also looked in my medical records and saw that they once had me diagnosed in the 90,s with type 2 and somehow when i switched va medical centers i was switched to type 1 now i am back to type 2 i just feel a denial coming but i have saved the information you shared and i will be ready on appeal.
-
i thank you very much for that response it explained a lot and took a lot of worry from me Thanks again and i will keep you posted
-
I come with more questions I recently had a c and p exam for sleep apnea or sleep disturbances as the va calls it I was diagnosed with
mental disorders or major depressive disorder like episodes ICD code F06.32
Panic disorder ICD code F41.0
Insomnia disorder ICD code G47
Chronic pain bilateral knee pain ICD code M25.56
a lot of symptoms for my mental disorder of course already 70 percent rated for it just in 2017
Section four of the DBQ says and its checked by the examiner at least likely as not ( 50 percent greater probability ) the sleep apnea is proximately due to or the result of the veterans service connected condition I guess it looks good for service connection but the examiner said on the form that per DSM 5 a concurrent insomnia diagnosis may be given when insomnia is sufficiently severe to warrant clinical attention do I get a separate rating for insomnia.
-
This is awesome Ms. Berta so there is hope
-
They do Ms. Berta I wish I could put it all on this website but its to much to share thanks for answering my questions
-
Ms. Berta I failed to put weight gain and the obesity caused by my service connected disabilities in my post but its in my claim and I have literature and a IMO along with good rationale to try to connect diabetes 2
-
I have IMO so far but of course the VA is looking for there own Medical opinion or clarification through the DBQ i always have doubts when they do this about the claim succeeding
-

ladies and gentlemen I am seeking disability for type 2 diabetes for 20 years I was being treated for type 1 by the Va and on jan 6 2016 I was told I should be classified type 2 by the VA, my question is as a secondary condition to chronic pain depressive dos order and left and right knee flexion which is all service connected is it possible to connect or will it be denied
-
The examination is neither medically consistent or inconsistent with the veterans statements describing functional loss during flareups , what does it mean for my claim
-
The va asked the Qtc Dr several questions according to the notes on my exam for my Knees and the very first one is ,Is it as least likely as not that the left knee condition is secondary to right knee status post surgery with residual scar see I am service connected for my right knee at 10% but further injured it at work years after i got out the navy I had the same condition in my left knee while in the service for which I am service connected for in the right one I complained but no treatment and have had my left knee operated on for the condition I have in my right knee Osgood Schaletr disease and severe patella tendonitis THE VA TO ME IS TRYING TO CONNECT MY LEFT KNEE INURY TO THE RIGHT ONE BECAUSE OF THE INJURY I SUBSTAINED ON MY CIVILIAN JOB!
The Qtc Dr respnse was ,Medical records show on 2/22/1988 ,Chronological record of medical care Diagnosis Left Pateollar tendon Strain .Discussion History Of Osgood Schatters Sydrome .Had Patellar tendonitis right leg put in cast .Now has increased pain in left knee secondary to walking in cast .patient has evidence of his right knee condition was caused by his left knee condition in the military .Also if he has a problem in his right knee he is likely to put more weight on his left knee .Therfore patients left knee conditions is at least likely as not secondary to right knee status post surgery with rsidual scar ,orthopedic devices !
