Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Vync Posted August 30, 2010 Content Curator/HadIt.com Elder Share Posted August 30, 2010 I got my increase to 90%! I would like to thank everyone here for their help. You're great! Increase TMJ increased from 10% to 20% Secondary to TMJ Headaches 30% GERD 10% Constipation 10% Depression/chronic pain 10% They made a couple of mistakes too, not to mention a lot of typos, but I will have to research everything and figure out the best approach. They included details of why they awarded each rating and the requirements for the next higher rating level. In many cases, their notes indicate I met the requirements, but they just gave me 10% anyway. Doh... My back claim was denied again, so it's time to finally get the IMO and put an end to it.

JustPLS Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Congratulations on the win. Its much deserved, I'm sure! Pat I wonder if I would have all the medical conditions that I have now if I had never joined the Army. I'm pretty sure the answer would probably be no. When I look around and see others my age who were not in the service, most of them look pretty healthy. Do you think all the employees of the VA really understand that it is ONLY because we served that their positions even exist?
