Nevermind.. he put secondary shit

[SMC S??]

its hard to tell but as a matter of fact the first c p exam put it as direct service related not secondary.. On ebenefits its listed as secondary..

[SMC S??]

sorry pasted wrong ones first two

c. Rationale: My opinion is based upon two factors. His medical records do not provide any correlation between his
documented symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea and the development of anxiety and depression. In fact, his
symptoms of anxiety and depression pre-dated the onset of his symptoms of obstructive sleep apnea. The
diagnosis of obstructive sleep apnea was made in 2009. While he clearly suffered from undiagnosed symptoms of
that disorder prior to that, his symptoms of depression and anxiety nevertheless occurred prior to the onset of his
symptoms of a sleep disorder.
Additionally, during the meeting today, it became my opinion that the veteran's anxiety and depression are not the
result of his obstructive sleep apnea.

Asknod here's the next question does this apply for smc l aid and attendance? If I won aid and attendance for depression would I get the half step for sleep apnea?

[SMC S??]

I might hold of the war drums just yet, not sure what the hearing doc put in but vso said reffered for bilateral hearing loss after i won tinnitus.. still have not recieved paper work.. if i win 50 percent hearing them maybe let it go.. I have just filed a claim for hearing loss a few days ago

[SMC S??]

This is the one i won he put secondary to sleep apnea but stated it was mentioned in my period of service that is honorable.

[SMC S??]

getting ready for a fight going file nod.. still havent recieved paper work but my depression should be direct not secondary.. it didnt get diagnosed until my oth periosd of service same as sleep apnea.. but i went to shrinks and doc complained about sleep cried in front a shrink but fear getting kicked out never went back..  ok had two c p exams for depression.. the other will not allow me to copy paste heres what one guy said.

 

[SMC S??]

I won sleep apnea then i filed depression secondary won.. I am tdui soley of depression nod said something about secondary but the regulations dont say anything. I have it.

 

depression tdiu 50 percent sleep apnea 10 percent tinnitus. they told me file bilateral hearing the c p examer i guess put something related to service.

[SMC S??]

dam the depression is secondary to sleep apnea?  Well the hearing doc must of said something because vso said that the va has reffered me or something they want me to file bilateral hearing loss.  But the tdiu is soley on the depression or that doesnt matter.

[SMC S??]

My tdiu is based soley off depression then i have 60 VSO said i need a seperate one rated 60. I told him thats not correct and read his own information he copied and pasted to me about smc S. I copied the secetion that says disabilitiy or disabilities.  It just closed so i'll have to wait for paper work and ready to fight them some more. 

 

The important thing to keep in mind here is that the disability for which you are receiving TDIU must be entirely separate from the second service-connected disability (or disabilities) rated at 60% or more

[SMC S??]

depression tdiu 50 percent sleep apnea just won tinnitus 10 percent is this smc s?

[Opted Into RAMP]

ramp closed april 23rd a decision was made now I can see it back on ebenefits.. its waiting for final approval of that decision but now its back on ebenefits thursday 14th june with estimate completion by july 15th.

[Converted over to RAMP; Is there a way to check status?]

If you google, there are stats 55 percent approval rate so far on the ramp cases.

[Converted over to RAMP; Is there a way to check status?]

I opted into ramp 45 days ago and the VSO that actually sounds like he knows what hes talking about said as of now 59 days is average for his office on ramp.. When i first submitted he told me 39 to 69, I'm just repeating what he emailed me just last week.. The 59 days is what was told to me in an email last week. If you call the number or message on ebenefits no answer, but they are moving quick 120 tops worse case it looks like.  Im actually glad so many people are afraid to use ramp. My claim was a simple mistake by dr on the c n p because i'm overseas and they used that to deny me.. I have had him redo it and should be find now.

[Space A Travel For 100% Pt Sc Dav Petition]

Yes there was an online petition going around, this is something i'm behind also. I did 10 years and didnt get medically retired should have. I think we should def be entitled but need to make some political noise i think to get this going.

[How long average NOD taking to process?]

i will try to upload it soon.. Yes my plan is to have the same doctor redo it.. The problem was he put bi polar ptsd and some other stuff social Axiety..

 

I am not service connected for any of them.. I am service connected for general anxiety.. He said due to my depression I need help with hygene cooking medication manegment and a few other things.. So now he basicall put all the same inforemation but at the top in the axis part.. he put only major depression and general anxiety.. He also put a not that it has been updated using only service connected disabilites.

[How long average NOD taking to process?]

thanks I read alot of your post on here.. NO there are others out here.. The doctor that i was sent to has done others I didnt ask how many. I wish i did now i'm curious too.  Yes they pulled some bs, I filed the smc L aid and attendance because somedays weeks months i'm really bad.. I didnt think i qualify but after reading on hadit.com I think I do.. I thought had to be housebound or whatever.. Ok guys i'll keep you up to date my nod is put in.  One of my friends said trump passed bill to speed up appeals.. so we will see.. E benefits told me 18 to 2 years

[How long average NOD taking to process?]

12 of december 2017 so its only been a few months.. I just left the vietnamese doctor office they sent me to.. I am living in vietnam.. I talked to vso or whatever on phone.. he said just fill out the nod once i get a new dbq.. I had the doctor put just my depression and anxiety and put he correction the form only listing my serivice connected disabilites.. and still says because of my depression is so bad and anxiety i need help with taking care of the place making meals and hygene shopping..  I will be uploading everything soon.. What do you think?

[How long average NOD taking to process?]

Sorry, somtimes my thoughts are not clear when i type.

I never had A and A, I am trying to get A and A smc L.  The doctore stated that i need help and have help and listed the things i need assistance with but I am living in vietnam and its not a docotor that usually handles these.. He listed non service mental health and listed social instead of general anxiety and the VA denied it because nothing listed was service connected.  I am going back to doctor monday to have him feel it out again only using my service connected disabilites. which depression is a major part and he puts it just not at the top in the axis part.
