hi Berta, i just noticed the mistake last year. all im trying to do is raise my 40% to the actual 80% that it should have been. my neuro doctors filled out the DBQ and stated Narcolepsy W/ cataplexy, 1 major seizure past year, and 5 to 7 Minor a day. i sent in 2 buddy letters from military personnel that worked with me and seen me sleeping or falling asleep 3 to 4 times a day. also my wife wrote a letter how it affects my home life. She is also going to be next to me on the C&P video exam on the 10th. i tried to look up the Dr. that is doing the exam but couldn't find him his name is Vaughn Gavin M maybe some one might of had him before if they do maybe they will see this. i did discuses with my wife about trying to get it changed to date back to 2009 but there is so much confusing things that they already ask i can imagine try to get it back dated. Thanks to everyone that is helping me with this.

So i submitted FDC last week and received an C&P exam for the 10th of march, does anyone know what the doctor might ask me? I sent in 2 buddy letters 1 spouse letter, 2 different letters from my two neurologist, 3 different sleep Polysomnograms and 2 Multiple Sleep Latency test and all the different types of medication I've taken. I'm just trying to figure what all the Dr. can ask me that isn't in all my 300 pages of medical record for Narcolepsy. If anyone has been through this and if so would you care to share some of the things that might be asked. Thank you in advance for the help.

Im putting together documents to increase my claim of Narcolepsy, i have 2 buddy letters from military co-workers, letter from my wife also. i would like to know what information is needed in a letter from my Neurologist, i know i dont need a Nexus letter since im all ready SC for my condition at 40%. if anyone can give me some advice and maybe a sample letter from a DR. to the VA would greatly be appreciated.

Broncvet, the thing is I've never applied, my hands have been a problem 1 year before I got out and I didn't have a copy of my record now fast forward to 2020 I got my medical record and going through it I found the documentation on my hands which I had thought that I had something saying my hands were bothering me but just figured it wasn't important when they scheduled my C&P appointments. So what I'm trying to figure out now that my hands are in such a mess how do I go about submitting this to the VA. I'm not to worried about back pay I would just like to get this into the VA and see if it will move my disability higher. So which way should i submit this to the VA and do i add records and letters from Dr's , wife, and friends?

My question is I finally received my Military Medical record from the VA after 17months, upon review I found the documentation of my problem with my hand joints swollen and painful. I have been seeing a Rheumatologist since 2009 when i got out after 20yrs of service. so my question is how should I submit the missing information i.e. DD FORM 2807-1 BLOCK 12 H, Swollen or Painful Joints and Block 29 12H 6 months now painful and swollen hands and finger joints, Block 30 12h, hand swelling in the AM, minimally controlled on Naproxen. This was documented January 7th 2009 during the time i was having my C&P Exams. Also when I submit this information to the VA would this be something I would be entitled to back pay? My Rheumatologist has told me she would write me a letter stating that this is more then likely the start of my problems with my hands. Also the sailors I work with will write buddy letters on how my hand will be swollen all the time along with my wife letter stating the pain that my hands cause me and limit my activities in working in the yard and on my house.
