Is a artificial sphincter considered an appliances and how does it affect a disability rating.
-
Good morning all. Question. I was rated 100% prostrate cancer Aug, 2019. Was given retroactive pay from 2018 when I filed at 100%. In Oct 2020 was awarded 100% again but with SMC for kidney cancer, (scares, kidney removal). Was given retroactive for the SMC only. Mind you I’m still being treated for prostrate cancer, and now kidney removal. Why did they not pay at a 100% retroactive pay for the kidney cancer if they rated it at a 100% and only paid SMC at a 100% which is much lower? And will they rate the kidney and prostrate cancer together when they decide to re-evaluate these conditions for future lower rating?
Thanks

I just received an award of a 100% temp disability for the above mentioned illness. With another review in 6 months. The issue is, there was no mention of my incontinence problems by the CP examiner in the award. I have been having issues with this problem for a couple of years that has gotten worse since my radiation treatments. What will I need to do to insure they award a rating for this condition once they call me in for a review and adjustment from my present rating. Thank you

I have deck logs from a water and refueling ship that gives the position of my ship during operation frequent wind. As it refueled our ship and states such. I’m wondering if anyone knows how to read the position on the deck log? It is latitude and longitude. It looks like lat 943.5 n, 107.22ne. This could be pretty important in showing the ships were within the 12 mile zone. Right now the Denver logs will not be available until after next year, but if this works out it will be just as good. Thank you

I found a website that had theses deck logs but I’ve never seen logs like this so I’m wondering if someone could take a look and let me know if theses are legitimate to use with a disability filing. Thank you

Could someone please go to this link and see if I down loaded the correct deck logs. I have not seen any logs like this before. They are for 1975https://www.history.navy.mil/content/dam/nhhc/research/archives/command-operation-reports/ship-command-operation-reports/d/denver-lpd-9/pdfs/1975.pdf
thank you for the help

Good morning everyone.
I seemed to have gotten myself very confused reading everything new regarding the new rules for Blue Water Veterans claim. I was present as a Marine attached to the USS Denver during Operation Frequent Wind during April and part of May in 1975. I was awarded the VSM as well as the humanitarian service medal. I now have metastatic prostrate cancer with no family history and have been told to file a claim with the VA for disability. I’m also one of those marines exposed to contaminated water at Camp Lejeune. From what I read prostrate cancer is on the presumptive list for agent orange but I’m getting confused on weather or not the ship was within the 12 miles distance. I know this, land was within site (Vung Tau). Could anyone offer any advice. Thank you for any help. Roy

I read if a veteran has a artificial sphincter implant it is considered an appliance and the rating would be 60%. For example. Veteran has 40% rating for incontinence. The condition continues to worsen urologist suggest surgery to improve condition, surgery happens with implant does the VA at that point adjust the rating. I don’t believe it’s a SMC issue but it may be.
