Many of you may know my claim was denied last week. I've settled down some and was finally able to read the entire claim decision today.
In Section 3, sc was denied for degenerative joint disease for thoraculmbar because my service treatment records show only 1 complaint of low back pain (Oct. 20, 1982).
My tour of Duty was 9-22-80 through 9-23-84
Entries in my treatment record:
11-6-1980 back pain
12-3-1980 Thoracic Back Pain (Taken by Ambulance to Emergency Room)Note made by Dr.: Injury 3 weeks ago with persistent pain.
1-16-1981 Right Lower-Mid Thoracic Pain
10-20-1982 Pain in Mid Section of Spine
7-8-1983 Back Pain Inferior border of Right Scapula
3-7-84 Right Thoracic back pain
My question is wouldn't the above be considered a mistake made by the rater, if there are other treatment days in my service treatment record?
