[What about the Presumption of Soundness?]

Change your profile, currently indicates "Service Connection NONE," your receiving VA Comp at the SC 90% rate, right? ...

I have updated the profile. 

 

As far as IU you mean individual unemployable right?  If so, I don't recall seeing anything of the sort.  My rating is comprised of 14 combined ratings currently.  I think I now understand why I have been denied on the other items and I will be addressing it with the VA.  I don't know if I should fight the iPEB results or just accept the DoD rating at 40%...  this pressure (what is best to do) and my anxiety don't play well together...

 

[What about the Presumption of Soundness?]

I am still trying to figure out the VA and claims process but I've been "in the system" since 2012.  I am currently 90% s/c but the VA has denied a lot of my claims without much information.  My initial claim was for many items that I was not diagnosed with at that time.  So my claim was decided and some items were denied.  However, I was in in treatment and did later get diagnosed with what I had claimed. 

As time goes on, I get smarter.  But, the VA seems to go the other direction in my opinion.  If there is any kind of proximate cause and presumption of soundness then I am confused as to how these can not be s/c at this point?  I ask as I just have gone through an IDES PEB and my items were all sent through on another claim but still denied (mostly) by the VA for s/c.  Don't they have to actually look at the claimed items and see if there is new evidence?  My DAV rep said they already have access to my VA health records so I don't need to resubmit them.  Well, my new evidence (diagnosis) is in my VA health records since I am treated at the VA.

[Salutations From Indianapolis]

I have been reading on the hadit forums for some time now. I decided it was time to actually sign up. Right now I don't have a rating. My initial claim is still being worked. I had my C&P exams only a few weeks ago. So, I am hoping within the next 6 weeks to have a rating... time will tell I guess.

A little about me. I am still in the Army National Guard in Indiana. I work in Indianapolis at the state headquarters. I am a computer geek. I like to work on my Jeep and I love getting off road whenever I can. I am on a lot of scripts from the VA and I am half asleep at any given time. I have a CPAP that is supposed to help but it doesn't fix me. So, in a nutshell I am like a lot of people here... waiting on the VA and still broken...
