OIFVETMC

Thank you for the replies. is there a consensus on submitting a supplemental appeal vs BVA on a claim such as mine? I’ve been to several other docs besides primary, done the burn pit registry, lots of tests etc. one issue I neglected was lay letters from my Marines, which I do now have. I’m hesitant to use an atty, already had a bad experience just getting my case reviewed. That said I’m not totally opposed to them. -Stockdale Paradox": you must maintain unwavering faith that you can and will prevail in the end, regardless of the difficulties, and at the same time, have the discipline to confront the most brutal facts of your current reality, whatever they might be.

Background: OIF1 veteran with 60% or more in combined service connected injuries filed a multi symptom claim consisting of : chronic fatigue, chronic rhinitis/nasal breathing, Gastrointestinal , TBI/migraines, sleep disturbance. went through the 6 month process of c&p exam by VES (sub contractor) who performed incorrect tests and or no tests , diagnosed issues as CPTSD result :denial of claimed injuries except TBI at 0% linked with existing CPTSD currently waiting on higher level review , submitted with a vso primary care and referral doctors will not diagnose IBS, cf/me, want to link it to CPTSD Ideas for getting these issues diagnosed and thus properly claimed? if the higher level review doesn’t work then what?
