Any news how you can get increase for chronic low back pain if your already rated at 20% since 2002 for Recurrent Low Back Sprain and Lumbar Spondylitis

Thank you

Anyone know if I might be able to claim secondary service connection for pain disorder from my primary recurrent low back sprain with lumbar arthritis and lumbar spondylitis. denied sc for secondary depression caused by my sc back sprain with chronic pain in 2004. The VA C@P exam mental health, diagnosed veteran to having pain disorder with phycological symptoms of anxiety and depression with low back chronic pain. Denied secondary depression in 2004 Question is with the VA diagnoses from 2004 would I likely be able to claim secondary chronic low back pain disorder that was caused by veterans in service low back sprain that is currently rated since 2002? New VA rules pain as disability veteran is still being treated and medicated for chronic low back pain

QUESTION, the VA PhD wrote this diagnoses from c@p exam and denied me service connection in 2004 for secondary depression caused by my sc low back sprain with chronic pain. DIAGNOSES AXIS Pain disorder associated with psychological factors and general medical condition (general medication condition being presumed back injury) Anxiety and depressive symptoms. my question with this diagnoses from 2004 c@p exam Can I request my pain disorder be secondary to my sc low back sprain that was awarded in 2002? I continue to have chronic low back pain. and my 2015 C@p exam for increase, the VA added secondary degenerative arthritis and secondary spondylosis both caused by my sc low back sprain. evidence shows my low back sprain continues to become worse up to 2019.

Bertha If Active duty military medical report records reporting rectal tear and hemorrhoids from 1991 was not available in c file or medical records for 2009 c@ p exam , only later found in veterans records would the effective date for leakage and hemorrhoids from 2017 award date go back to 2009 c@p exam date on a NOD

yes

I might e =be making my question to difficult. I will shorten question. 2009 applied for SC for secondary stool incontinence of my SC low back sprain. c@p exam hemorrhoids was reported in notes by doctor. claim denied they said because the did not find any Neuro issues. fast forward: Applied again in 2015 for hemorrhoids and stool incontinence awarded 20% hemorrhoids benefit start date 2015 60% stool leakage benefit start date 2017 date of exam V A rationel This is the first time stool incontinence has been diagnosed and related to your hemorrhoids Your benefit start date is date of your 2017 c@p exam. Question? does the 2009 denied claim help me send nod on effective date of the leakage? should it be 2009? They did not mention the 2009 denied claim ..

THE 2009 CLAIM I SUBMITTED FOR STOOL INCONTINENCE SECONDARY OF SC LOW BACK SPRAIN UNDER NERO CONDITION

found the 2009 decision the evidence does not show you have neurological condition. that is related to sc condition of recurrent sc low back sprain.nor any evidence of this disability during military serfvice.you filed claim for sc for neuro issue secondary to low back sprain your service treatment records are neg for treatment of neuro issues examiner stated no medical determined impairment to cause symptoms and the neuropathy could not be aggravated by a negative back evaluation This was before I found my military treatment records in 2010 showing treatment for hemorrhoids and tear in retum

I do not think the V A looked at my past exam from 2009 but the 2009 c@p was secondary leakage of my sc low back sprain so maybe it does not count on this new claim? the 2009 exam report say possible hemorrhoids was documented but denied service connection

Says: Service connection for anal leakage has been established as related to the service connected disability of hemmroids.as an eval of 60 percent is assigned from march 31 2017 This is the date of your c@p exam and the first date from which the evidence of record demonstrates that you have fetal leakage and relates it to a progression of your hemorrhoid condition

i scanned and attached 7 may 2017 to you on past question can you locate?

I can not locate the denied claim reason dated 2009 c@p exam. But i found a few pages of the 2009 c@p exam showing my request for my sc low back sprain with secondary stool incontinence. c@p exam reports veteran possible hemorrhoids from exam and claim denied. reported on deniel leakage not related to sc low back sprain. FAST FORWARD I found several of my old military medical records and remembered i had rectal tear bleeding in 1991 on active duty. I applied for sc for hemorrhoids with leakage In 2015 2017 awarded 20% hemorrhoids effective 2015 and leakage fetal 60% effective date 2017 c@p exam date. reasoning shows veterans first known diagnoses of anal leakage was at 2017 c@p exam so V A started my effective date 2017 In 2009 I did not request service connection for hemorrhoids with secondary anal leakage, however possible hemorrhoids was noted in c@p exam in 2009. I only applied for just anal leakage secondary to my sc low back sprain. So is it possible to send nod on anal leakage effective date back to 2009 ? or 2015? seems like the V A Does not want to give me any back pay for the 60% anal leakage, But however they did go back to 2015 for the 20% hemorrhoids. Any legal rules to back pay for leakage from 2009? anal leakage was requested and the hemorrhoids was noted. If so what would be my argument?

I HAVE BEEN 30% SC FOR TINNITUS AND LOW BACK SPRAIN FOR 15 YEARS RATED AT 30% 2015 APPLICATION FOR SC HEMORRHOIDS TOTAL SC NOW 80% I JUST DO NOT UNDERSTAND THE RETRO BACK PAY AMOUNTS

still trying to understand how they came up with the adjustments listed on payment dates. 60% for secondary leakage i would of thought would go back at least 6-12 months considering my CUE reported leakage as problem with the hemoroid condition. maybe they did not make mistake on secondary leakage start date. just do not know about the V A law regs.....

SERVICE CONNECTED FOR HEMORRHOIDS START DATE OCT 28 2015 NOT 2016 SERVICE CONNECTION FOR ANAL LEAKAGE HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED AS RELATED TO THE SERVICE CONNECTED HEMORRHOIDS. START DATE 31 MARCH 2017. THIS IS THE DATE OF YOUR C@P EXAM AND THE FIRST DATE FROM WHICH THE EVIDENCE OF RECORD DEMONSTRATES THAT YOU HAVE FETAL LEAKAGE. AND RELATES TO THE PROGRESSION OF YOUR HEMORRHOID CONDITION I WAS WRONG ON THE APPLICATION DATE FOR HEMORRHOIDS. NOT 2016 BUT 2015 VERY CONFUSED ABOUT RETRO AMOUNT YES I WORK STILL. ATTACHED THE PAYMENT START DATES BUT HAVE NO IDEA HOW THEY CAME UP WITH 5129.00 BACK-PAY.......

I WAS DISCHARGED 1991. DID NOT FILE CLAIM UNTIL 2015 20 % HEM 60% LEAKAGE TOTAL 80% AWARDED

I have attached copies of award still looking for original deniel letter

I applied for service connected hemorrhoids disability 2016 and got denied 10-2016. I sent CUE TO LOCAL VA OFFICE 11-2016 ALONG WITH DISAGREEMENT and wrote veteran should be entitled for hemorrhoids, bleeding and leakage,sent evidence copies I had from active duty doctors In 1990. 3-31-2017 was sent to C@P exam. 4-27-2017 Awarded service connection for hemorrhoids and leakage. But the letter I got reports hemorrhoids award started in 2016 And Leakage secondary award starts 3-31-2017 the day I had C@P exam. My question is if I sent cue with me stating hemorrhoids with leakage was from active duty, why did they start leakage payments starting 3-31-2017? Should I send letter disagreement? to DRO ? or did they follow the rule with back pay?

THE RESEARCH I HAVE FOUND IN THE V A REGS REPORTS IF SYMPTOMTOLOGY OF SYMPTOMS DO SHOW CONTINUITY, ALONG WITH LAY STATEMENTS CAN BE ENOUGH FOR THE NEXUS. AND THIS REGULATION ABOUT ONE MEDICAL REPORTS OUT WEIGHTS ANOTHER REPORT IS VERY CONFUSSING. ANYONE HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF THAT RULE?

IS IT STILL POSSIBLE FOR THE REASONABLE DOUBT DOCTRINE?

I KNOW SOMEONE MIGHT HAVE A BETTER UNDERSTANDING OF THE V A REGS ON ONE DOCTOR REPORT VS ANOTHER I AM CURRENTLY SERVICE CONNECTED FOR BILATERAL TINNITUS. BACKGROUND: ACTIVE DUTY 1990 -RINGING IN EARS DOCUMENTED ON ACTIVE DUTY 2001- VETERANS PRIVATE DOC TREATS VET FOR RINGING IN EARS 2002-VETERAN FILES CLAIM FOR HEARING LOSS AND RINGING IN THE EARS FROM ACTIVE DUTY NOISE EXPOSURE 2002- VETERAN AWARDED SC FOR TINNITUS, CAUSED BY MILITARY NOISE EXPOSURE 2008- VETERAN LOST HEARING IN RIGHT EAR AND TINNITUS GETS WORSE ALONG WITH LEFT EAR HEARING LOSS 2008- VETERAN CLAIMS SECONDARY HEARING LOSS AND MANIERES DISEASE FROM SC TINNITUS 2009- INDEPENDANT MEDICAL OPINION - REPORTS VETERANS HEARING LOSS AND MENIRES CAUSED BY SC NOISE EXPOSURE NEG OPINIONS VETERAN AFFAIRS SENDS FILE TO DR AND THE DOCTOR REPORTED ALL HEARING LOSS IS SPONTANIOUS EVENT AND NOT SERVICE CONNECTED VETERANS AFFAIRS AUDIOLOGIST REPORTS HEARING LOSS IS A TYPICAL, NOT RELATED TO SERVICE POS EVEDENCE IN SUPPORT OF CLAIM 2009-IMO DR REPORTS HEARING LOSS MENIERES IS SC NOISE EXPOSURE FROM THE PAST 2009-2013 VETERAN IS TREATED BY PRIVATE ENT DOCTOR, THAT REPORTS THE HISTORY STARTING IN 1990 AND FOWARD SOUNDS CONSISTANT WITH MENIERES DISEASE.

FAR AS I KNOW V A ONLY HAS 2 REPORTS FOR EVEDENCE TO DENY BENEFITS WOULD SYMPTOTOLOGY OF SYMPTOMS ALONG WITH THE LAY STATEMENTS WORK FOR THE NEXUS ? WOULD REASONABLE DOUBT RULE APPLY TO THIS CLAIM? VA REGIONAL OFFICE DENIED CLAIM 2013- BVA REMANDS FILE DUE TO THE V A DOCTORS SPONTANIOUS EVENT OPENION WAS NOT EXPLAINED. AMC LETTER TELLS ME I CAN SEND ANY OTHER EVEDENCE AND THEY SENT FILES BACK TO THAT V A DOC TO WRITE EXPANATION OF HIS DIAGNOSES I WOULD THINK MY PRIVATE ENT DOCTOR WOULD HOLD UP MORE WEIGHT WITH ISSUES OF SYMPTOMS FOR MENIERES DISEASE AND BILATERAL HF HEARING LOSS. REPORTED. AMC WILL PUT FILE TOGEATHER AND RATE CLAIM....... DOES THIS EVEDENCE OF THE VETERAN HAVE A CHANCE ? ANY SUGGESTIONS ? YOU CAN ALSO EMAIL randylan2@hotmail.com, CLAIM IS NOW 5 YEARS OLD

I AM NEW TO THIS BUT I HAVE A QUESTION. I AM RATED AT 10% FOR BI LATERAL TINNITUS AND JUST RECENTLY HAVE SUDDEN HEARING LOSS IN ONE EAR. TOTAL LOSS.. MY DOC SAYS POSSIBLE VIRUS, MY QUESTION IS COULD I REQUEST INCREASE DUE TO RECENT LOSS BECAUSE I AM ALREADY RECIEVING 10% FOR TINNITUS EAR DAMAGE
