Ya, those jokers stretched for that. So I had hey fever as a child. That doesn't explain the over abundance of occurrences post deployment and more severe symptoms. Beyond that they said I didn't go to the dr. often for this after separation. Well, that was kind of hard without insurance, being in college and raising a family. Complete garbage on their part.

Completely speechless. I'm getting a lawyer Faq this shite! 20220325_165816.pdf 20220325_165807.pdf 20220325_165745.pdf 20220325_165734.pdf 20220325_165720.pdf 20220325_165651.pdf

I will do that as soon as I receive it ....thanks you!

Which is why I am absolutely baffled!

I'm not sure. Good question!

My father in law, "Marine Corps Gunny" passed away suddenly Friday and we are really hurting as a family. He was 70% disabled but also retired. I'm not sure how or if that factors in with disability pay/retirement pay. My question is What does his wife and daughters need to do as far as VA disability and retirement is concerned? You all are such a blessing!

Yessir, I am service connected for PTSD/Anxiety/depression, asthma, sleep apnea and migraines. I haven't received the decision letter yet. I'm just going off what eben is saying.

So as the title says, I've been denied SC for 2 presumptive illnesses that I have medical documentation of and was deployed to the presumptive areas 3 damn times! I was denied ED secondary to PTSD/Anxiety/Bipolar 1 and corresponding meds (when they fricking prescribe me the VIAGRA and diagnosed me)! Finally, denied GERD as a secondary to PTSD/Anxiety/Bipolar 1, corresponding meds and sleep apnea when they diagnosed me as well! I mean what in the actual F@ck are these fools thinking?! I just got out of 5 days in the hospital for relapsing after 3 years of sobriety, father in law (Gunny Marine Corps) died the day I got out and now this shit!? 1. I will be putting in a supplemental for all 4 denials. 2. I have more medical evidence I can add that I have found since I applied. 3. I can actually tie my GERD back to my military medical records and they related it to sleep apnea! Should I file GERD as a service connected in its own right since they denied the obvious secondary nature of it?! 4. I have been accepted by a law firm to represent me in another case which regards dates and conflicting information on their part for denying and then approving ptsd/anxiety in the past. It's a few 100,000 dollar case if we win. Do you think I should ask them if they'd role all of these cases in as well or do you think they would only be interested in the other? I'm sooooooo pissssseeddd.

here are the first one and the one from the supplemental. Just to be clear, the LHI "exam" was complete garbage. They didn't even ask me about my migraines. Seriously....how does that work?

20220310_071122.pdf So from the looks of it, they didn't even look at my lay statements, my missed work logs or my daily health tracker. So I'm thinking that these geniuses lost half of my papers and just assumed that I was a moron and submitted a supplemental claim with now new evidence. Seriously? I am a high school teacher with a Master's degree! I'm not that stupid! I had everything neatly organized and put into a nice folder for them. I used a clip instead of stapling the papers all together. I guess that is where I messed up. wtf

I was awarded service connection secondary to sleep apnea for migraines. They gave me a 0% rating which was complete bullshit so i submitted a supplemental with a lay statement from myself and my wife explaining that my migraines happen on average 4 times a month and are prostrating in nature. I also added a list of workdays missed and other days that I had prostrating migraines. I figured this would be enough because they never even asked me to describe my migraines at my c&p exam in the first place. Well, the cocky bastards continued my rating at 0% stating that there was no new evidence added to the original c&p findings which were garbage to begin with. I am now in the process of having my private medical professional do a writeup of my symptoms, frequencies, severity and likely cause of the migraines. My VSO thinks that I should go straight for a judicial review but can't I just submit another supplemental claim with the new evidence? What would you all suggest?

Hey Vync, That is the one from 2005 and no, they listed it as non service connected. I don't really have a ton of medical records from 2005-2010 because I was going to college and didn't have insurance. When I finished my masters degree and got a job, I did begin getting treated again. One thing that I could definitely use is the fact that I had a pretty bad addiction due to the anxiety/depression/ptsd during that time and it is documented.

20220218_083334 redact.pdf They didn't retro me because I didn't file for it to be re-opened. I simply applied for ptsd and they added depression and anxiety onto that decision in 2016. Which I found weird but didn't know what to do. The more I learned though, the more I realized that this is wrong. I am attaching what they said back in 2005 when they denied me for anxiety/depression. It's all bullshit and I don't know how to prove that. 20220218_083334 redact.pdf

pacmanx1 thank you for your input. So does it sound to you like I have a case?

Ohhhh...I see what you're saying now! Ya, that makes sense. They approved the anxiety/depression in 2016 with the same previous records but I submitted a statement claiming ptsd as well from the same event because I began to have some serious behavior issues. So they clumped all 3 anxiety/depression/ptsd into one. Do you think that will nullify my point since the ptsd was added?
