yoggie2,what the VA is saying,that the specific stressor you submitted to be vertify by the JSRRC, didn't corroborate, with your private and VA medical records.In other words when you was counseler by your private and Va psychiatrist and psychologist,you didn't speak of the stressor that the JSRRC vertify.This is how it works,if you don't have a purple heart,cib or any other medal to confirm that you been in combat,you have to give them a inservice stressor that can be vertify and this stressor, that the JSRRC vertify, have to corroborate, with what you tell your psy, when you are being counseler, and at your C&P examine.You can have ptsd and have a vertifiable inservice sressor,and your claim can still be denied, if it don,t corroborate together. If you have a purple heart,cib,or other combat medals,you don't have to be specific,you can tell va anything as long as you got ptsd,you get service conected,like i said before if you got ptsd,than your nexus is what you tell your psychiatrist about that specific inservice stressor.

This is what I thought, My Company Commander verified the same stressor. The letter below states they VA tried to verify through VA psych reports that would have confirm my stressor. The VA stated as they did check but they clearly did not or comment on my commanders letter. I called the JSRRC to verify my self with the evidence I provided and had a reply of one of many engagements that lasted 4 hours, 1 week I had the event I described in hand. They obviously lied in this letter if what you say is true....I was also treated in area of combat operation and at home and these records are gone from my Active duty mental health records. I guess you just prove my point the VA will do nothing or stop at nothing to deny a claim if you put your faith in them that they will help you with your claim. This system no longer has any integrity and after reading about the shredding and what happen in Kentucky it just reinforces my opinion that a system that was created to help Veteran is now corrupt and constantly finding was to cheat and still benefits away form veterans for there own self gain.

Thanks Mobie, I have a really good view now of how they look at things after reading your post. I had everything in place but the VA chose to disgrace me instead with a Denial. The funny thing is I found my request for a increase and a claim for PTSD due to my service in Somalia, I filed my claim as a direct result of my service in Somalia, in my denial the word "Somalia" is no where, not a mention. And when I got a copy of my C-file I saw were my deployments were and saw where its typed Somalia-"Imminent Danger pay" and it was blacked out with a marker but you could kinda make it out.

    • These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.

      Service Connection

      Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
      This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected. 

      Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
      The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.

      Effective Dates

      Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
      This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

    • I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful.  We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did.  He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims.  He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file.  It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to  1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015.  It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me.  He didn't want my copies.  Anyone have any information on this.  Much thanks in advance.

    • Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
      Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL

      This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:

      Current Diagnosis.   (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)

      In-Service Event or Aggravation.
      Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”

    • Do the sct codes help or hurt my disability rating 
    • VA has gotten away with (mis) interpreting their  ambigious, , vague regulations, then enforcing them willy nilly never in Veterans favor.  

      They justify all this to congress by calling themselves a "pro claimant Veteran friendly organization" who grants the benefit of the doubt to Veterans.  

      This is not true, 

      Proof:  

          About 80-90 percent of Veterans are initially denied by VA, pushing us into a massive backlog of appeals, or worse, sending impoverished Veterans "to the homeless streets" because  when they cant work, they can not keep their home.  I was one of those Veterans who they denied for a bogus reason:  "Its been too long since military service".  This is bogus because its not one of the criteria for service connection, but simply made up by VA.  And, I was a homeless Vet, albeit a short time,  mostly due to the kindness of strangers and friends. 

          Hadit would not be necessary if, indeed, VA gave Veterans the benefit of the doubt, and processed our claims efficiently and paid us promptly.  The VA is broken. 

          A huge percentage (nearly 100 percent) of Veterans who do get 100 percent, do so only after lengthy appeals.  I have answered questions for thousands of Veterans, and can only name ONE person who got their benefits correct on the first Regional Office decision.  All of the rest of us pretty much had lengthy frustrating appeals, mostly having to appeal multiple multiple times like I did. 

          I wish I know how VA gets away with lying to congress about how "VA is a claimant friendly system, where the Veteran is given the benefit of the doubt".   Then how come so many Veterans are homeless, and how come 22 Veterans take their life each day?  Va likes to blame the Veterans, not their system.
