Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
hotcoffee2 0
met with the RO last week. wanted to determine if ftca documents are going to be considered in decision. had to have RO contact to prepare request in writing (despite phone calls). also discussed fact that vamc admitted to cloning (cut and paste) PE exam in several clinical notes. I had reported this to VAOIG. i asked him if this could be important to case. he said that if it shows poor standard of care then it will apply...good news for me. i am also going to report attending who was a contractor to state certifying agency for not examining me---even though physical exam falsified by vamc, was performed within 30 day timeframe. he had documentation responsibilities he didnt do and lied saying i was in recovery while i was in surgery. vamc saying chief of podiatry took over...no note to that effect in chart other than chief resident saying attending was present all critical aspects surgery.
guys. what would be rating for acquired torsion dystonia posterior tibialis muscle secondary to cast crush injury. does anyone know.
ok ok dr. bash fired me. i wouldn't pay $5000. this fee assessed with no clinical notes from case. i told him i felt he was tooooo busy. i didn't think he was even reading emails.
so im on my own now. i noticed dro had pulled all info from my records that applied to ftca denials. shoot. got to get this decided at this level if possible.
