  1. Syne7,

    I filed a claim back in 2009 once I retired, they denied me.  My discharge physical report claimed it wasn't severe.  I didn't appeal or anything.  Once I retied I went to the Va. hospital on several occasions for my feet got insoles made and had everything documented in my records.  I just submitted another claim for plantar fasciitis, and it too was denied, but this time I have more documentation, and I going to a private podiatrist and I'm going to file a NOD 

  2. Berta,

    I have a copy of my SMRs and I went through them and sent the VA all the information pertaining to the conditions I was claiming. I have picked up on a lot of things that I wasn't aware of when it comes to filing a claim. I'm going to see if I can get a nexus letter for my conditions and I will be posting my decision from the VA once I get it.

  3. Berta,

    You are correct I didn't have a nexus letter.  I had no ideal that it was needed, after researching it I can see how much weight the nexus letter carries.  I haven't received my formal denial letter yet, it's coming this week I just saw the results on Ebenefits.  Once I get the letter I will scan it along with my evidences and  post it. I didn't have a C & P exam. Thanks for the information.            

  4. The VA gave me 60% disability back in 2009 for sleep apnea and pseudofolliculitis barbae.  I also submitted a claim for plantar fasciitis which is documented in my medical records but they denied it.  I recently submitted another claim  for plantar fasciitis again, hypertension (which is documented in my medical record along with my medication. The Va hospital diagnosed me with anxiety and depression I attended the mandatory classes, but the results came back as not being service connected, and I'm really confused and disgusted on their decisions on everything.  They did give me a 0% rating service connected  for my hypertension.  Is there something I'm doing wrong with my claims because I have friends that have less to claim but ended up with more.
