allen,

Thanks for all the informative articles you post. I sure do appreciate the information since I am service connected for both this article is excellent.

Thank you,

Bergie

As a combat veteran, or any veteran for that matter!!!

If you thought the fighting was over when you came home, got out, or when the politicians said it was over.

Welcome to the real fight, welcome to VA claims!!!

Thank you Bergie.

Glad you could use it. I've lived with chronic pain all my adult life. Nothing makes it completely go away.

you know if you have chronic pain that is a multiplier of any type of emotional disorder you might have and vice versa.

Thank you for the information. I too am a sufferer of chronic pain and mdd. One question though, is there a particular code under 38 CFR for chronic pain?

OK then...I am the idiot here! I am 50% for PTSD. 20% for Diabetes 2 and 10% for each limb for neuropathy, total 80%. I have chronic pain in my feet and calves. Can I apply for an increase due to chronic pain?
