Yuku

[cannoncocker]

1. "yuku is cool" from another thread that was closed. But wasn't closed about this i don't think.

What in hades is yuku? I could google it but wouldn't give me any context.

2. In my experience when yo instruct someone to get a copy of their C file, i was told they already sent it, which i never got, but must include every document active and va afterwards and wold cost a good deal of money for them to copy it. those words are their "VA". so I had to single out specifically what I wanted, say a qtc exam I didn't have. they basically told me the entire file would go in the too hard to do box.

Not asking any questions just repeating what the VA put on me. Bearing in mind my original claim had:

1. Tachycardia/high blood pressure/arrythmia

2. status postbunionectomy bilateral with scar

3. high frequency hearing loss right side 0%

4. Pes Planus

I requested lmbar injury consideration. it exploded from that point, but all ffor the bestt sinccee it went from 30 to 60% with heearing loss bilateral 0%

but evidently that took every record I ever had. so it can be very expensive for them to copy it if for some reasson you don't or didn't receive them.

this is so weird, the one thing i knew for a fact hands down, anybody would conceed the lumbar injury they nixed it flat.

anyway the claim file itself can be an issue, in my experiemce.

I understand that I can submit to the VA for disability due to my sleep apnea. I am currently at 30% and would like to know how I request for this? Thank you in advance.

RDD, you need to start your own post regarding  SA questions.

Cannon,

Are you service connected for your back? If not try 2nd to your flat feet. I have pes canvus which caused me to break both feet in the corps. I ended up with direct back connection but had evidence to back up the 2nd to feet connection also.

Well aren't you thinking outside the box! I am not SC fro my back which has many problems, which no doctor denies, well they can't givent the MRI's, Neurolgy consults, epidural injection and surgery options. They just saay it wasn't SC, which i supplied ER notes/then battalion aide station notes right before I ETS'ed.

But that secondary to the pes planus and post bunionectomy surgery is just plain brilliant!. I have an IMO on Wednesday and dav you better believe I will make that connection clear and add that to my claim, I guess via 21-4138 and IRIS.

I have had surgery on my feet and plenty of evidence and longstanding approval for SC Podiatry problems, so that would be an excellent addition for SC evidence.

Primarily they are refusing the 100%. With the condition of my back it would equal them approving 100%.

Thank you so much. the IMO will get the full rendition of back problems aggravated by my body alignment re: flat feet and bunionectomies bilateral.

Oh yes my friend I don't know what you did in service but I hiked and ran like hell in the Corps. Never knew I had Pes Cavus and then when I get out a DR says you know your L5-S1 are probably blown due to your feet not taking the shock of the training you did. My service connection letter from the VA examiner actually states direct service connection and also could be 2nd to SC feet!!!!!!!

Go get them brother.

I was in field artillery as in from the ground up. humping pojo's over a 100 yards to the howitzer.

they weighed from 130 to 170 lbs with 128 lb body. Do the math on that. The VAA can't. Plus since my jobs were Safety Specialist/supply tech/contract Admin all sitting.

thank you
