    I finally made to 100% P&T, I can tell you Hadit and it's contributors helped me out a lot. Thank you. Have to relax a little while. It is has been a long engagement dealing with VA but I did it and did it "alone".

    Hey Guys check out this my Youtube video. I put out this video to show how I navigated the VA process.

    Your saving grace is you do have a diagnosis of Anxiety and depression. You should explain in a lay statement how your anxiety and depression makes you feel and how it effects you daily. If you are married or have a significant or good friend ask them to write a buddy statement telling what they see in you only a daily basis. I have a question , in coming to that diagnosis (depression and anxiety) was your military service a contributor (was it stated). If not you need to opine to that fact and what happened in your lay statement. You have to allow yourself to vulnerable and let VA know the circumstances in which triggered you MH and what triggers it now.

    I did the same. I challenged an exam also, it worked for me.

    Hey you keep your head up. I know it's hard and at sometime almost unbearable but we fight that's what we do. The road you are traveling, all of us have went down it one way or another. With the help of our Brothers and Sisters in arms in this forums we make it. If you have questions, ask someone will help and it will help your MH to talk to other Veterans.

    @GBArmy I know. I am trying to stay preoccupied. I am waiting but this anxiety is eating me up.

    Well I am still waiting on a answer for my EED. I am hastily approaching 125 days. I am getting nervous by the day and a lot of headaches and not sleeping well.

    @jbrav123, it is a pleasure to comment on this post. If I understand you correctly you originally filed the claim for migraines in 2018 and like so many of us it was denied. Unfortunately the claim will not backdate to 2018 because you did not file an appeal of that decision within the year threshold. However, you did refile the claim (Supplemental) and got the claim reopened therefore October 20, 2020, would be the effective date of this particular claim. So to recap if you had filed an appeal for the initial claim (2018) and continuously fought this claim, then you could file an HLR for the effective date. For once VA is correct

    And that Hamster Wheel has GAA on it.
  12. Miken2c74
    I wish you all the best. I fought my case for 7 years only for them to grant and give me an erroneous effective date. Of course I have an HLR in for an EED. So after they grant check your Effective date.
  13. Miken2c74
    I emailed them just now
  14. Miken2c74
    What going on @GBArmy@Berta I know I have not been around for a while.

    Well the closed my Privacy Act/FOIA, sent me the disk and it was blank

    I challenged a C&P exam and won. I had an IMO/IME prepared and wrote the differences between the two exams and why one exam should have been afforded more weight over the order. So when they assigned me to another C&P for those disabilities the exam respectfully was used to verify the information in my IMO/IME and to help take the wind out of the contracted VA examination and I won. For VA to omit information, leaves you a way in and out of the wheel. Your information has to be very accurate and chronologically correct. Remember your benefit of the doubt doctrine. I won a claim with just a lay statement pointing out dates and times and diagnosis and treatments.
  17. Miken2c74
    Alright, I submitted my HLR for EED yesterday
  18. Miken2c74
    Man you took the words right out my mouth

    I have a question, how "powerful" is a IRIS inquiry? I ask this question to say this, normally when doing a IRIS inquiry if you ask a in depth question that requires a specific set of answers (yes or no is not applicable), what happens? If you ask a generic question the possibility of you receiving a Generic answer is pretty high. I have used IRIS, for an inquiry into my effective dates and the reason I think this theory is correct is because I have not received my envelope from last decision. Not from my VSO or VA. If I do not receive by next week I will call my VSO. On a different note, I have contacted my VSO for the Decision Notice date we see if there is one. If not, IRIS is "powerful"

    Thanks my brothers, I always enjoy the information I receive. The help really means a lot to me.
  21. Miken2c74
    That is exactly what happened to me. I am going to do an HLR with a informal conference also. I am waiting on the letter. I am writing on the HLR PES Planus originally filed November 2013 Knee condition originally filed November 2013 and the date of the notice in the block off to the right of the disabilities Thanks @deedub75
  22. Miken2c74
    Tracking I know that, you know that, how come the people that are suppose to be helping us don't know that.
  23. Miken2c74
    Here why it is bad recommendation opening a new claim (21-526EZ) "If you are filing a claim for increased disability compensation or disagree with an evaluation decided more than one year ago "....
  24. Miken2c74
    So I received an email from my VSO (DAV), they say I should open a new claim for the effective dates. I think this is bad recommendation. I emailed someone at VA who was working on these disabilities, basically asking him to take a second look at these effective dates. I think I am going put in an HLR. Roll the Dice.
  25. Miken2c74
    So @Buck52 I wrote this Effective date.docx
