  1. Oceanbound's post in New claim or Supplemental - TBI and TBI Residual Bipolar Mood Swings was marked as the answer   
    I had a MD that provided his signature on my TBI complaint because I reported my injuries while in the service  and I'm currently fighting it and it will be a few more years until I get my SMC-T. As well as wasted many years going to the VA and getting no help for it at all because they swept it under the rug.
    Likely not because it wasn't documented by a physician or you going to seek treatment after it occurred during service.
  2. Oceanbound's post in Bilateral claim - Knee and ankles was marked as the answer   
    If you go to the IMO section, you will see my threads that I started, for Haggard, L, and Steingart.
    Because I'm the one that continue to state we need to find more Vet friendly docs, besides the 3 known ones in Tucson, Oklahoma City, and Bethesda. They're getting old, can't do this forever, and need young blood today for tomorrow. For that it doesn't help if you're in BFE and the doctor is on Easter Island. 
    Have Haggard do the basics for you: meet and greet, ROMs, view the CORE Institute x-rays and scans, and then the knee DBQ. This will be your new current status. 
    Post on Haggard thread when you make the appointment, then, post again with the exam and your thoughts--so that these threads grow.
    Then make an appointment to see Dr L. Take you c-file, Haggard DBQ, and CORE Institute scans dvd and record, to Dr. L. Have Dr. L do his IMEO. 
    What do you call an orthopedic surgeon that didn't go to surgery school? a Physiatrist - Physical medicine and rehabilitation. They're as competent and are specialist.  
    BTW 30% is pretty much the max for your knee. My ankle was injured in service, but the damage was later to my knee, and my ankle is pretty much fine and going through the appeal process right now for my knee as secondary to my ankle.
    "Scans" mean x-rays and cat and MRIs, imagines.

    Looks like he's in Phoenix. If you are I can assist every step of the way.
    Jfrei should comment soon, he knows TBIs, I'm going through it now, so I know what is what, and have seen many experts locally that helped me when the VA wants me to chase ghosts to delay real treatment.
    I would say lawyer up now since you are med discharged because Phoenix was ground zero and the VA will give you the run around. My lawyer is GloverLuck.
