  1. I have an upcoming exam for depression/anxiety related to chronic pain. I’m at 90 % all static and all related to injuries that occurred in service. If I’m approved will the depression/anxiety also be static? If not, could it turn static? I need 50% to get to 100 and am trying to figure out if they would attach P&T. Thanks in advance.
  2. Anybody had any success with connecting prostate cancer to the water at Lejeune?
  3. Thanks. All my stuff is static and the Rater opined that I would miss approximately 4 months of work per year with my other stuff.
  4. Anybody claimed arthritis in the hip area? I’m already rated for low back and Radiculopathy. Would it be a pyramid situation if successful? Been going to the VA chiropractor for a month now and he determined arthritis in neck and hips. Raw number is 90 and debating whether or not to try to try for 100.
  5. Can anyone explain this to me? I understand it’s my neck’s ability to move but does it meet the requirement for a rating assuming service connection? Cervical ROM: Degrees Flexion 40/65 Extension 20/50 with pain as a limiting factor Right lateral flexion 20/45 with pain as a limiting factor Left lateral flexion 20/45 with pain as a limiting factor Right Rotation 60/80 Left Rotation 60/80
  6. Thank you all for the advice. I’m torn as to applying for TDIU or Cervical strain. I have 40% for lower back and 50 for flat feet. I’m going to do some more research.
  7. I am rated 40% for lumbar strain and 20% for lower Radiculopathy. I had a recent X-ray of my neck that shows bone spurs/arthritis. My question is can I claim Cervical strain secondary to lumbar strain? Upper Radiculopathy? Arthritis? I’m not sure how the pyramiding works or the rules. Thanks in advance. The wording of the X-ray is Preservation of disc space heights with small-moderately large anterior disc osteophytes C3-C6.
  8. I have an appointment with the VA Chiropractor coming up and I’m trying to figure out if I will be given an MRI. I am 40% for lower back and I think that an MRI will show other issues. Anyone been through this before? Thanks in advance.
  9. Thanks for the information. I have 5 ratings that the Doc opined that I would miss 2-4 weeks per year. I’m going to think about it some.
  10. Has anyone had a successful TDIU claim from 80-90%? if so what was the procedure? Did you have to redo all your C&P exams? Im at 90 with 40% for lower back and 50 for flat feet. Trying to figure out the best way to proceed. Thanks
  11. I was recently awarded 10 percent for my left ankle, but deferred for flat feet and tinnitus. Should I submit any more evidence for the deferred claims or wait until they make decisions? Thanks for any advice.
