  1. I was unemployable at first, but now I have won my claims and am now 100%. My question is do the VA remove the unemployable from your file and make you schedular?
  2. I had my BVA hearing on June 1, 2022, the judge game me 90 days to get my additional medical evidence until August 29,2022. I had the decision on November 1,2022.
  3. After being on appeal for seven years I thought that after the BVA grants it would be smooth sailing. First, my sleep apnea claim has been on appeal since April 2015, I was diagnosed with severe obstructive sleep apnea and prescribed a CPAP (and uses it on a daily basis). I provided a nexus from a neurologist and sleep doctor. I was granted sleep apnea at the BVA, but the Regional Office only granted me with 20%. After reviewing 38 cfr, a CPAP is a 50% rating. As a matter of fact, a 20 % rating wasn't even listed. It was 0,30,50 or 100%. Also, my retro pay is so far off i don't understand how this even happened. It is devastating to fight for 7 years, win and then get shafted at the end. I hope I can submit a copy of the CFR and get the rating I deserve. Any advice is helpful.
  4. Glad it's over. Don't know the %'s just yet, but i hope it takes me to 100% schedular. I was at 80% unemployable.
  5. JUST GOT MY RESULTS BACK FROM MY BVA HEARING. I WON!!!!!!!!!

    I was at 80% unemployable now I wonder is this enough to get me to 100% schedular?

  6. It was modified to see if it can be more direct.
  7. Please read and give me feedback please. Recently attended a BVA hearing, and she gave me some time to get my evidence for my sleep apnea claim. My Neurologist wrote me a medical opinion. IMO Final.pdf Drs CV.pdf
  8. I attended my BVA hearing earlier this month. My judge appeared to be very helpful and advised me on what to do. I am attempting to get my sleep apnea claim service connected on the aggravation side. I had a neurologist review my records and provide me with a medical Nexus. Can those with the knowledge read and provide me with feedback??????? Thanks nexus.pdf
  9. Thanks for the responses. I'm wondering: 1. can i submit any new evidence at this time? 2. will the V.A. pay for my attorney?
  10. Hadit family, can anyone give me some advice on how to handle this Appeal process. I recently looked on VA.GOV and noticed this. how do I prepare to win?
  11. I've been seeing my PCP at the V.A. for several years. He now's my medical history with my severe lower back pain. He advised me i should request another C&P for my lower back ( 20% ) My PCP has increased meds, filled out my FMLA form, given time off from work. Pain injections in my back from Pain clinic. I've been out on medical leave from my job ( Police Officer ). I am unable to continue my job as a police officer due to my back conditions. My job wants to get rid of me because i am restricted duty for my SC back injury. My job har recommened me for disability retirement, but me PCP says he cannot sign fill out the forms ( said he not qualified to do it ), so he said PM&R has to do it. Seen one of the residents in PM&R today and was told that they cannot sign my disability forms either. The PM&R resident spoke with his superior and told me that they will send me out to another doctor for a functionality test. I'm not understanding why they can treat me, raise my meds, give me pain injections and know all my medical history, but will not sign off on my disability retire forms. Can someone with experience guide me on the way to get my papers filled out. My PCP doctor is the only one i see. I don't have another civilian dr.
  12. I haven't used him yet, but i was wondering have you gotten a price from his office for a IMO/IME?
  13. Needed to see a neurologist for my migraines. Made an appointment with the local hospital neurologist. I was assigned to a nurse practitioner, she seemed to be very knowledgeable and also worked with sleep apnea. My question is how does the VA looks at that when you're filing a claim. Should I keep her or should i find me a MD?

      I would keep her to start your migraine treatment.  Yes you will probably see the neurologist after she gets your treatment started.
