I put this to my attorney who is out till the 5th of Oct. I have a service-connected knee conditions which results in me being unable to walk for more than a few feet, bend, or do any strenuous physical activity. Im not able to exercise with this condition and must spend most of my days inactive or else I experience severe pain. As a result of my inactivity, I have gained weight and is considered to be obese. My obesity then led to developing diabetes, a condition for which being overweight or obese can put a person at risk of developing. My obesity was the result of a service-connected condition (my r-knee initially, dated 8/28/92), and then it led me to develop a non-service-connected condition (obesity).

What my attorney told me 2 days ago: Hi Erich, We would need to show that your obesity caused functional loss, and is related to your service. In addition, you are currently 100% disabled. While there are pending claims that may result in an earlier effective date for your 100% rating, getting your obesity service connected now will not have any effect on your overall rating or monthly payment. So, if we applied to have your obesity service-connected, it wouldn’t chance your current rating. However, if I can use this case for any of your other claims that might result in an earlier effective date for your permanent and total rating, I certain will.

How can I show that obesity caused a financial loss? Thats what the VA is looking for. I tried 3 times, DENIED.

This is a US statute. Federal law permits recording telephone calls and in-person conversations with the consent of at least one of the parties. See 18 U.S.C. 2511(2)(d). This is called a "one-party consent" law. Under a one-party consent law, you can record a phone call or conversation so long as you are a party to the conversation. https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2511
