Question

  • HadIt.com Elder

Here it is. Got examined for award not too long ago, doc report shows and validates a condition that has been NSC for several years. Its listed on current report second on Axis I. Does that matter? Ideas? It wasn't mentioned or referred to in recent decision letter and is not Axis II. I get treatment for this at the VA and its been denied before.

Interesting?

cg,

Do you have any evidence of this condition on active duty ?

When was it previously denied and why was it denied ?

If you feel up to it - what is the condition ?

the VA treats many medical conditions if you are over 50% and don't charge for them they list them as medical issues that affect you but just because the VA is treating them does not make them SC issues I am only SC for CAD and PTSD they still treat and list GERD, COPD and other issues if you have evidence in your medical records that show you were treated for the same condition in the military and can make the nexus and get a doc to write the dot to dot connections then it should be SC if not it will remain a non SC issue that they treat you for

I have GERD too, which is being treated by the VA and also showed up on the results of my general C&P exam. The VA also did an upper GI to confirm it. What makes it worse if the NSAIDs that the VA gives me for my TMJ, so the VA doubled my daily omeprazole dose. As a result, I chose to be proactive and request SC for the condition. I hope you do the same. Be sure to check with a specialist on your condition to see if they can provide a direct or secondary nexus.

Any Veteran who has IU status should always seek 100 percent schedular if they have the service conenctable conditions.

Any type of IU can be questioned and all it takes is a misunderstanding from a DOc to get your IU taken away.
