Hello,
I went to a outside doctor for this exam and I am unsure how to request the results. I have been awarded VA compensation, however, I would like to have the results for my records. When I called their office they said I would need to request it through VA but unsure of the process regarding this. It is not anywhere on blue button in myhealthevet.
thank you in advance.

Hello,
Only been a lurker here for about a month or so and will become a active member. Thanks for the knowledge and experience so far.
For my story I never had any VA benefits and it took a MSG that worked for me last year to persue me to start the process. I went with the DAV for a rep and started on June of last year (2014).
This week I got the notice that I have 90 % disability.
The only thing that got deferred was sleep apnea which is (pending) I guess. I am not sure of all the acronyms/ processes/ and other methods in the claims process. A few other things I still need to get annotated.
Just wanted to share and give hope to those that are still waiting. Took me a year and I understand took others far longer than me. Don't give up on the process.

Hello,
A few weeks back my claim was completed and went from 0- 90 % rating. I am still relatively unsure to the whole process of appealing and if I should .. I am grateful to be awarded the 90%. I have quite a few conditions also rated at 10% and not sure if I should appeal a few of them.
A few questions:
1.) I was denied sleep apnea, I did sleep study Sep last year but was not fitted for CPAP and I have moderate OSA. I could not get fitted as I was in the process of moving at the time. I am getting CPAP next week at VA. Also I had a nasal fracture in 1995, and I have 70 % PTSD. would I have some grounds to appeal?
2.) There are a few claims I needed to add that I did not add initially like migraines and knee pain, if I did add those now would it affect my appeal for SA? Another wards could I appeal my SA decision and still file a new claim or would something get bumped?
3.) Is the appeal process very lengthy?
4.) Is going to the VA better for treatment and records wise than a private provider?
5.) Some of the decisions say a reevaluated in 5 years? can anyone elaborate on this..
