    well it depends were you sen for any of the other conditions while in service by a doc or a private doc ? " I am also diagnosed with constant shin splints, knee tendinitis, hip pain and 2 bulging discs L-4 L-5. " who diagnosed you ? if you had any paperwork on any of this while in service it should not be hard to connect them if you are going to start a clam using ebenifits go ahead and start the process NOW it gives you a year to compleet your file and they will back pay you from the start date when you start to file i just got a 7000,00 check for back pay get it started now how long have you been out? i was able to get Achilles tendinitis connected to flat feet not shure to the rest but get it started now

    "b.(2) When new and material evidence is submitted within the appeal period or prior to an appellate decision with regard to a claim for increased rating, the effective date for any increased rating is the date on which the facts establish the increase in disability occurred or the date of the original claim for increase, whichever is later." im not really sure but i think this is what i need I was denied then I got a new IMO and was awarded 20% after that IMO date and 0% from the date of the original filing of the clam the retro active pay only started from the second IMO date not the original Clam how do i word that in a NOD i read all the 38 CFR 3.157.and dont know how to spell it out in the new NOD it had a lot of legal ease and seemed confusing any help would begrateful mark i submitted an appeal for a early Effictive date back to the original filing of the clam

    on the fast letter they didn't even have my MOS listed USMC 2542 Communications center Operator now what how do i find out weather its hi mod or low
  11. mrmark1999
    OK this just happened to me too i was awarded a 0% rating from the original came date after being denied i appealed it was awarded 20% filed 2009 denied nod 2010 new medical opinion awarded 20% starting at 2010 said a t C&P i was in no pain i just had surgery 5 days earler and was on oxycodone i had no pain at all and said i couldn't feel much (duh looking back) filed a nod for earlyr effective start date 3 years later denied because i was not in pain at the C&P now im stuck filing another nod did you have a civilian doctor diagnose your condition before the C&P ? if so you might need to include that info with the doctors records
  12. mrmark1999
    I would go for the DBQ to start and if you can get an IMO make sure you ask for specific wording from your doctor its a good linkfor formats and what should be included
  13. mrmark1999
    I can also agree my podiatrist was awesome he had been treating me for a while he wrote a small IMO for me and the VA denied it he was personally offended with their rational on why so he spent 2 1/2 hrs on a regular appt and went page by page dot by dot connecting all the dots in my service records on my NOD I was approved without question because of the expertise of my physicians treating them well and they will do the same. Listen to what they have to say follow their advise

    Wow a lot to take in I was never given any council or help of any kind I was put on NPQ status while the peb board was working I never found out any thing till I received my Honorable discharge in the mail nothing no PEB findings nothing I had to request my medical file to even find out what the found out any info I was on NPQ status for over 2 years this has been years and is still friggin agervating
  15. mrmark1999

  16. mrmark1999
    OK sorry to confuse I was not rated in the original med or the peb they last thing I got was a physical qualification for retention in the marine corps based on the review I was not physically qualified for retention the last page said " 1. Redress and forward for appropriate action 2.Youare directed to initiate discharge progressing utilizing enclosures (2) and (3)of reference (A) 3 Assign Separation Program Designator Code of JFR3 Ensure other Administrative action is accomplished prior to discharge per reference (b) and (c) , as applicable . Issue a discharge certificate and Honorable Discharge Button per paragraph 1101.2 4.per table 4-1 part II note 9 of reference (c) , forward the health record (which includes both the medical and dental records )to the department of veterans affairs ,service Medical Records Center (SMRC) pobox 150950 St Louis MO 63115-8950 with transmittal card (NAVMC 941) that includes name , SSn ANd separation date " that was the last thing I received several years later I finally went to the Va on my own and got 20 % for that issue and another 20 %for an another issue
  17. mrmark1999
    No I did not receive any grading all it said was not physically qualified and proceed with on the discharge I was put on NPQ status before my IRR what's to start my IRR date was February 5, 2001 the paperwork I received was dated March 6, 2001 so it's like they just waited long enough so they wouldn't have to rate me so I don't know whether I should of been medically retire or should I have just been given the Honorable Discharge the whole reason I'm curious if I can change things is because there are benefits to being retired medically over just being disabled if I was due in medical retirement then I need to see about getting that changed I have no clue of even where to begin getting the ball rolling on the change I don't even know if I should have been retired
  18. mrmark1999
    I have all the copy's of every thing the meb peb files with the decisions the real question is can I have the honorable changed to medically retired ? Is there any way to appeal that decision ? Or am I just screwed ?
  19. mrmark1999
    Any ideas
  20. mrmark1999
    ok working on 3 years now
  21. mrmark1999

  22. mrmark1999
