Question
5of7Vets
i am new to the sight and wanted to express Wow to the vast amout of knowledge that is posted to this web site. We have lots of Veterans here in OK that are trying to work this process. Yes i have passed it on.
my first experience:
Applied for Tinnitus and BiLateral hearing loss, well long story short VA disapproved both claims. Ok i waited awhile and then reread the denial for Tinnitus which stated, "your personal medical records showed you played trumpet in a swing band". True i do but what i know now is i forgot to state i played in the Drum & Bugle Corp at Lackland for 5 weeks and using their horns. We played at retreats, parades, and San Antonio's 150 yr celebration.
Question: I provided a NOD per my Veteran support org and provided the certificate of playing in their band. Are my chances any better at getting Tinnitus overturned? I now sleep with a white noise device and have sent doctor statement back to VA also stating Tinnitus.
Still new to this.
