  1. I understand getting service connection but I'm talking about getting increases on existing SC disabilities. I would be interested in making sure that if I ever get lowered that I my total rating wouldn't go below 100%. Who is correct?
  2. Some people say "don't do anything after you get P&T because it will tell the VA that your conditions are not stable". Others say "NEVER stop putting in for increases that you are entitled to. If the VA ever lowers a rating for one of your conditions, having other conditions highly rated will prevent your total percentage from decreasing." Who is correct?
  3. Instead of answering in this thread, please answer this thread in the IMO forum:
  4. I have ED (and I'm getting treatment for it) and I've considered getting a nexus letter to get it service-connected, secondary to other problems I have. But I don't have the money for a nexus letter. I was recently looking through my service treatment record and saw that I have a complaint of "erectile dysfunction". I do not see it listed as a diagnosis nor was I prescribed any treatment for it while in-service. Can I just put in a claim for direct service connection?
  5. Does anyone know if bruxism or TMJ can be SC secondary to sleep apnea? If so, how do I do that? Would a sleep doctor or dentist need to write a letter?
  6. My vocational expert wants to use my yet-to-be created IMO but my IMO doc wants to use my yet-to-be created vocational assessment. What should I do?
  7. I was reading my VHA record and I one provider said that I had a good memory. This is not true and frankly I don't think she was qualified to offer that opinion in my record. The other involved another provider saying that I was not suffering from X (symptoms unrelated to his specialty). I don't know how he could have known this is he didn't ask me. Both of what these providers said could hurt my chances of getting an increase. How should I go about telling them that it's incorrect and I want it changed?
  8. Is there one RO that overwhelmingly grants all claims? I do know that some ROs are better than others for certain claims. I forgot where I read it but I thought I saw that the Los Angeles RO was the best RO for MST claims and that the Providence RO was the best for tinnitus. Does anyone have a list of these?
  9. I think that I have enough medical evidence for sizable increase but I don't know for sure or how to word my statement because the medical notes and tests are Greek to me. I don't want to ask my VHA provider to opine. Should I get an IMO? I know that it might be overkill. Or should I get another doc to fill out a DBQ?
  10. Where can I find the policy, regulation, or law that say this? I just feel that I don't have enough in my medical records right now to prove TDIU. VA did an RFE on me, then increased my rating, opened up an IU claim, and requested documents. All I gave them was the ITF. I did not submit a 21-8940 or anything else regarding TDIU. Thanks for your responses. They are always good.
  11. Would you please explain this more? I don't understand.
  12. I submitted an Intent to File (Form 21-0966) as part of a va.gov IU claim where VA requested TDIU forms. Instead of submitting those, I uploaded the Intent to File (I felt as if I did not have enough evidence to win TDIU at the time). The TDIU claim was denied later than month. I am considering abandoning my attempt to get TDIU because I am so close to 100% (schedular). I'd like to know if I can use that specific Intent to File for other claims. If so, how do I reference the original date?
  13. If a vet submitted an Intent to File during the pandemic can he get an extension? If so, how would he do that?
