I have put in a claim 3 times now for hypertension,It has beed denied 3 times.<BR>I had it in my recored when discharged in 95 as it being high,The claim the first <BR>two times said all further readings were normal.The first time i saw a doctor was<BR>at the VA and they said I had High blood pressure and started treating me for it.<BR>It was the first time I saw a doctor.The last time I had a exam claim the doctor said <BR>it was more then likey it was service connected.The VA denied it again because all readings were normal until I saw a doctor for the first time.How can they be normal if the first docter i saw was at the VA. I have a torn back with 40 % temp increase. They never mentioned the artritis in the back at all only the torn back.Should I bring that to there attention.I am going to file a claim for arthrits of the arms and legs scince they are causing me extreme pain at times,Should I claim the Back again?
