HadIt.com Elder john999 Posted October 19, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 19, 2008 Right, you need a diagnosis to win with the VA. I had symptoms of DmII and PN but no diagnosis. The VA just flited around the DMII diagnosis saying pre-diabetes and glucose intolerance. Finally, I got a C&P exam that diagnosed DMII. Based on that I got the PN connected as secondary. As we have said many times the VA will not connect the dots on their own without a medical opinion. The guy who rates you is not a doctor or a lawyer. He just reads the claim and looks at the evidence (you hope) and goes by the numbers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HadIt.com Elder jbasser Posted October 20, 2008 HadIt.com Elder Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am going out on a limb and say the condition is in your cfile and it may be considered inferred. The only to really see it is to get a complete copy. J A Veteran is a person who served this country. Treat them with respect. A Disabled Veteran is a person who served this country and bears the scars of that service regardless of when or where they served. Treat them with the upmost respect. I do. Rejection is not a sign of failure. Failure is not an option, Medical opinions and evidence wins claims. Trust in others is a virtue but you take the T out of Trust and you are left with Rust so be wise about who you are dealing with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
