  1. So i logged onto Ebennies today, and seems most my secondaries were put added. Also they dropped the syncope to 30% but upped the PTSD to 70% which they added TBI under still keeping me at 80%, but I'm now 100% due to disabilities in the UI i guess, i attached a pic. I am still gather buddy letters and have a Nexus letter from my PCP, I think I'll leave it alone. How long do I have to file a NOD?

  7. Thanks, yes she is great, she has been my primary care provider for years. I figure now that ebennies has changed to pending decision approval, I'll take this letter to my VA PCP appointment the middle of this month and get stuff documented, and just save in case I have to have more evidence.
  8. Update 10-2-15Logged onto ebennies and it has changed to pending decision approvalEstimated Completion: 10/14/2015-10/25/2015So it's all out of my hands, crossing fingers, any new evidence I guess compile in case I need to do a NOD

  10. So I have been seeing the same civilian doctor since my medical retirement. I have suffered from various unexplained symptoms. My civilian doctor has now diagnosed me with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Migraine Headaches, and Irritable Bowel Syndrome. She has reviewed all my soldier medical records, and my Va medical records. After a long talk she feels that these diagnoses were caused from my deployments in Iraq. She has only prescribed me a couple medications for my CFS for muscle and joint pain. After talking she felt it was better i take everything to my VA PCP and get it documented and get free meds from the VA, to help me with costs. Below is the letter she has written for me to take to the VA. Any opinions and guidance on this? Dr. XXXX XXXXXX, M.D. XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXXX XXXXXXXX RE: XXXXXXXXXX XXX-XX-XXXX DOB: XX-XX-XXXX To whom it may Concern: I am writing this letter on behalf of my patient, Mr. XXXXXX, who is under my care for chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome. I am a board certified general practice physician. I have over 34 years of experience as a medical doctor. I have reviewed Mr. XXXXXX service medical records from August XXXX to June XXXX. Based on my review of his service medical records, I believe his chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome today is more likely than not related to military service while deployed to Iraq in 2003 and 2006/2007, as it was likely present and undiagnosed at that time. Mr. XXXXXX provides a history that suggests symptoms consistent with chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome during his time of military service in 2007. At that time, he was under medical care for neurocardiogenic syncope, which could have contributed to these symptoms, as could have the patient’s medications at the time. However, I believe that it is more likely than not that Mr. XXXXX XXXXX did suffer from chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome at the time of his military service to present day, and that his symptoms, consistent with this disorder, were not recognized due to his other medical problems. It is also my professional opinion that Mr. XXXXX chronic fatigue syndrome, migraine headaches, and irritable bowel syndrome are aggravated by his currently diagnosed Post Traumatic Stress Disorder. Please feel to contact me for additional information if necessary. Sincerely, Dr. xxxxxxxxxxxx, M.D.
  11. thank buck, yah I hope I can get 100% too, taking care of three kids and raising a grandbaby these days gets tough.
  12. Regarding the un-employability i have also filed for SSDI because of my disabilities. My PCP Doctor (Civilian) filled out a Residual Compacity Form In that RFC she included all my VA disabilities and my CFS, Fibramyalgia, IBS and headaches. She has also written Nexus letters for the CFS, IBS, and Fibramyalgia with a more then likely cause by military service while deployed in Iraq. With the reviewed C-file, med records etc. I plan on scanning and uploading the Nexus letters, but would it also be benefitial scanning and sending the RFC that's going to SSDI to the VA rater too?
  13. This Claim was part of a larger claim with secondaries etc. Below is what claim was put in. This C&P for PTSD was last exam, so now just waiting. Ebennies saws all my docs should be at the rater by the 8th of October. Coronary artery disease with neurocardiogenic syncope (Increase) - Had C&P was given MET 1-3 - chest pain (Secondary) Post-traumatic stress disorder with persistent disorder of initiating and maintaining restful and enduring sleep (Increase) - bipolar disorder (Secondary) - anxiety condition (Secondary) - depression (Secondary) - headaches (Secondary) - chronic fatigue syndrome (Secondary) Head injury (New) - headaches (Secondary) - Been getting treatment for years for Migraines since medical retirement in 2008 Un-employability (New)
  14. So be it if it's a reduction, if its fair I'm good with. I do have a particular question, I have a claim for TBI also, and in my records it shows it and in VA records it also shows. Given this report, what the examiner said will they take that in account for my TBI Claim? c.
