I was in 8 years 10 months. Discharged with herniated discs and migraines = 20%
I did a claim with VA in Aug 96 prior to discharge as part of Disabled Transition Assistance Program. It became lost over time even though they stated they had every thing. Now with the help of VA and the re-assignment of DAV to VFW it is proceeding and is currently in the rating board. C&P Exam was conducted by a retired chief of surgery doc that could not find any records on either MRI or Xray in medical record. I just found these at my mother house that total from 50 -100 not with all reports assigned. Called and asked if I should send them in and they said they only want reports not to send xrays. Doesnt make sense as a lot of the MRI have wax annotations on them and writting. What should I do? Also, These are the other ones I am Claiming Most were initially denied except lower back and sinusitus. Both were rated at 10% a piece, but the rating were removed and are being redone because of new evidence on a EEG on my left arm? None of this is making sense and the county VA rep is saying wait until they finish the rating, then rubutal it. Any Input would be appreciated! Also, I am ready a book by John D. Roche "How to file and collect on VA Claims" Has anyone followed this?
