  1. Should I file an IBS claim for Gulf War Syndrome or secondary to my PTSD which I have a 70% rating? Which is the better route? Also I just need the IBS diagnosis prior to filing?
  2. I am currently rated at 73% and I am about to file intent for a couple other issues. I was given medication for Cold Sores (Herpes) in 1994 while on active duty at the base hospital. Since then I have had numerous new prescriptions over the years from private doctors as well as the VA. I currently have an active prescription from the VA. I have read this could be a 10% rating if approved to put me at 80%. Is this a common rating or claim? Would anything help my claim other than prior medical records?
  3. Hello, I am currently rated for 70% PTSD within the last couple of months. I am due for Public Trust re evaluation for my current position with CBP. I have been with the agency 10 years. Prior recerts and initial were done on the SF86 now I have a SF85P and SF85S. This changes the mental health question. I did not have to report treatment for combat related PTSD. Now with the SF85P and S it only says answer No for grief or family counseling? Do I have do disclose my PTSD treatment for a recert of public trust? Also how does this effect my recert? should I be worried? The main issue with this form compared to the SF86 question 21 which was changed now I am required to use the SF85PS which is still a form from 1995. I will have to disclose it. Does anyone have any experience or information?
  4. The DAV just told me now a VA Form 21-4138 ? how does that work? isn't that for a supporting statement?
  5. I apologize if this is posted someplace else. I am getting conflicting information on how to obtain my C-File from my DAV rep. What form do I use to request my C-file? I was told SF-180 by DAV and was told a VA-3288 by someplace else. Also where does the request go to? One source said my RO the other archives in Minnesota? Also what is included in my C-file just medical records pertaining to my current disabilities? or all of my medical records? I want to file an intent for a couple of other issues but I am looking for treatment and diagnosis dates in my medical records. I would appreciate any information.
  6. I do not think I am eligible for Chapter 35. Yes Im only at 70% . And not permanent and total. Update- My dependents were approved and added to my claim in less than a week. Back pay should come soon.
  7. Im currently rated at 70%. I just copy and pasted the exact same information from the VA website and sent it to my DAV rep. I believe I may have offended him correcting his misinformation. All three kids are fulltime college students. I would think a DAV rep would know this?
  8. Sorry for the repeat guys. Im getting conflicting information. My DAV rep told me I couldn't add anyone over 18 without them being disabled themselves. Which is wrong I believe. My intent was filed 4 Jan 19 Claim sent in 30 May 19 Claim approved 11 Sept 19 I received 7 months of back pay.
  9. Claim recently approved- My effective date is 4 Jan 20019. I received back pay for 7 months on my claim. I understand it starts retro pay from February 1st until now. However it looks like I wasn't paid for September as if the shorted me a month. Does anyone have any insight on why I was only paid for 7 months? I also just added my 3 dependents all over 18 but fulltime enrolled in college. How long do these claims take to be added and retro pay?
  10. My claim was successful . 70% PTSD and 10% Tinnitus. I already received my backpay. It was very fast. I have now added my three children that are all in college and 18-24. What type of timeline can I expect for dependents to be added and retro pay? I entered them in Ebeenfits
  11. Yeah I am in wv..... I dont think the term past due.....is in the VAs dictionary
  12. I understand it's a long process. I'm trying to be patient. It should be a straight forward claim. I should have done a FDC. I saw a deadline for this request and it September 2nd..... I also know the va doesnt like claims going over 125 days of they can help it
  13. I have access to it. It was done at the va and was told it was sent to the RO that they have not pulled it yet? I'm not sure of their procedures.
  14. Hello, I finally got my C&P for Hearing loss and Tinnitus and received the results in which I clarified here on the forum. My claim consists of 1] PTSD 2] Hearing Loss 3] Tinnitus. IRIS inquiry told me that everything has been received except for my Audio Exam results by the RO . There is also still an open VA request in Ebenefits for the results. They also stated the results were uploaded but not pulled down yet by the RO? Does anyone have any insight on this? Since I have the results can I upload them in Ebenefits? Or just sit back and wait for the RO to continue the process. My Claim is now 101 days old. With an estimated completion date of September 2nd to October 15.
