  1. I've been informed that I have a temporary partial grant coming, but I have no idea what that means. I was previously approved for 0pct for bursitis(both knees) and subluxation(left knee) and I re-submitted for "reconsideration" of the percentage due to a bad C&P exam. So now that reconsideration is being(has been) approved as a partial grant for a certain timeframe, and at some point it will go back down to 0 pct. Has any else experienced this? Or does anyone know what a "Partial Grant" would mean in this scenario?
  2. Now that is very good and sound advice and it makes all the sense in the world to me! But when my claim was denied the 1st time, it stated " knee pain is not a diagnosis and just pain alone doesn't qualify for c&p". Which I thought was odd because I know people that has been approved for "chronic back pain ".Weird....
  3. I certainly hope so! I mean, I just can't imagine why they would deny it, I literally provided them everything there is to offer. I just can't figure out why, or how, they would be able to rate me for this condition without a C&P exam? being that range of motion is a determining factor of the rating and all? But hey, we shall see....
  4. I'm note sure what the "NOD" means? But when I got the denial letter, I was given 12 months to respond, and yes I am within that 12 month time frame. The DAV resubmit my claim for "reconsideration" vice an "appeal" because they said that it would be quicker and because I had all of the evidence needed. All of the docs were uploaded in ebenifits and I can actually see them when I loggin so I know they definitely have it. Actually, a few days after I upload all of the documents, that's when my status went from "gathering evidence" straight to "preparation for decision"? And yes, I am a reservist and the injury happened while on Annual Training orders and I had another Marine to provide a signed Lay Statement attesting to the event and date of injury. In the denial letter, they stated that I have shown proof that the injury happened while on orders, so I should be good there. Their only issue was that I was not properly diagnosed by my doctor in the medical record. But now that that is fixed, plus the second opinion from an Orthopaedic doctor, I just can't imagine why I would be on the brink of denial?? #WEIRD
  5. Question here, I had a claim in for bilateral bursitis(knees) and subluxation in left knee. This claim was initially denied because they said that I did not have a diagnosis for bursitis in my medical records. I have since then informed my doc of the apparent oversight as she has indeed been treating me for bursitis, however she stated "knee pain" in my record. Now, I have resubmitted my claim, and I also provided them my doc medical notes from my records which states the bursitis diagnosis, as well as medical record notes from an Orthopaedic doc siting the same as well as siting subluxation, and I also submitted the medical notes from my Physical Therapist. I also included a statement from my wife explaining how these issues have affected my daily activity. I look on ebenefits today, and my claim has moved from Gather Evidence straight to Preparation for Decision. Question, how can be preparing for decision when I have not been scheduled for a C&P exam yet? I mean, I know that I submitted a lot of evidence and all,,, but shouldn't they send me in for an exam?? Does this mean I'm on the brink of denial??
