Sometimes you can get records from the hospital itself and not from the VA. In other words the VA may have lost the records it has but they may still exist at the hospital. That is a lot of years ago but you never know. To lose your diagnosis is very curious if you were in hospital for five months. That sounds fishy.

THANK YOU JOHN, I DO HAVE HOSPITALS REPORT DAILY CHECK LIST, THIS IS FROM JAPAN,I WOULD THINK VA WOULD HAVE TO ACCEPT THIS. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS THE REASON DOES STATE WHY I AM THERE ONLY THAT I AM THERE, IN THE LINE OF DUTY, I WOULD THINK THE BENIFIT OF DOUBT WOULD APPLY RO SAS,S NO BECAUSE THEY DID NOT GIVE COMPENSATION THEN BUT I SHOULD BE INTITILED TO SERVICEMEN,T PENSON FROM WW2 I THINK SO IS WRONG AND I AM NOT SENDING TO BVA . I AM KEEPING IT AT VA LEVEL THEY MADE THE MESS LET THEM CORRECT IT UNDER SPECIAL OUTREACH WE CAN ALL PUT IN NEW CLAIMS BUT I JUST PUT A 1151 GOT THAT IDEA FROM ONE OF BETRA POSTS

Dear Frank,

I think you should be service-connected for your heart problems. You have proof of hospitalization. You have proof of claim filed in 1949. You have evidence of heart condition on your Navy Discharge Medical Exam. You have an opinion from a medical doctor who states your heart condition is service-connected to the Navy.

I hope Hadit.com can help you. Thank you for your service brother veteran!

I SERVED IN AIR FORCE 1946-1949 AND NAVY 1952-1956.

I DO HAVE VFW TO HELP ME, BUT I WANT TO MAKE SURE HE IS GIVING ME THE RIGHT INFORMATION.

RECORDS FROM 46-49 CANNOT BE FOUND. I DO HAVE COPY OF HOSPITAL STAY BUT IT DOES NOT STATE WHY I WAS THERE. I WAS IN THE HOSPITAL FOR 5 MONTHS IN THE LINE OF DUTY.

Frank, Did you request your service records from St. Louis - or did someone else request them for you? Have you made more than one request for your service records to include both Medical and Personnel records?

You state your records are "lost" for your first term of service, USAF. Were you hospitalized for "heart problems" during your first term of service? Do you have your DD-214 for 1st term of service?

IN 1949, I FILED A CLAIM. I HAVE COPY OF THAT LETTER THAT HAS VA STAMP ON IT SO THAT WOULD SERVE AS PROOF VA DID HAVE THE LETTER.

Frank, I agree. Very good evidence!

NOW COMES THE NAVY. ON MY NAVY MEDICAL DISCHARGE EXAM I HAVE MANY MEDICAL PROBLEMS. I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THEY THE NAVY STATES MY CONDENTION IS WORST THEN WINGS. AND I AM SURE I WOULD OF DIED LONG AGO OF ALL MEDICAL PROBLEMS.

Frank, You have copies of your service discharge exams from your service in the Navy. This is very good medical evidence. Could you please re-write this sentence, "I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING THEY THE NAVY STATES MY CONDENTION IS WORST THEN WINGS." I'm not sure what you are trying to say.

IN 1978 I FILE A CLAIM. VA STATES NO RECORDS FOUND. HOWEVER WHEN I DID GET RECORDS IN 2002 I FOUND EVERTTHING. THERE IS A SMR FROM NAVY THAT HEART PROBLEM THAT IS OLD SO NAVY STATES THEY DID NOT FIND A HEART PROBLEM. BUT MY DISCHARGE EXAM DOES STATE HEART PLUS.

Frank, Could you please re-write this sentence, "THERE IS A SMR FROM NAVY THAT HEART PROBLEM THAT IS OLD SO NAVY STATES THEY DID NOT FIND A HEART PROBLEM."

NOW IN MY C-FILE I FIND A RATING FOR SERVICE-CONNECTED EAR/HEARING FROM 46-49. PLUS SC EXPOSURE TO RADIATION UNDER TITLE 38 CHAPTER 5 PART III. PLUS THE RATING STATES RE: "OPEN CLAIM NAVY AND AIR FORCE." HOWEVER VA NEVER TELLS ME OF THIS NEW CLAIM. SERVICE OFFICER (SO) STATES THEY DON'T HAVE TO. WHY NOT?

Frank, New Claim or Old Claim?

THEN I SEE A DOCTOR IN 1993 WHO BACK'S UP NAVY [DISCHARGE] MEDICAL EXAM.

IN 1994 I GET LETTER FROM VA THAT I AM 100% NON-SERVICE CONNECTED MEDICAL. THAT IS A PENSION BUT I CAN'T HAVE THIS BECAUSE I MADE TOO MUCH MONEY IN 1991. I AM ON SSD. SS RECORDS CLEARLY STATE I AM UNEMPLOYABLE. I FILE A CLAIM. VA HAS MY SS RECORDS AS PROOF. THEY DENY ME.

Frank, You remain eligible for the VA Pension for your Korean Wartime service. Your SSD is probably a better retirement program than the VA Pension and you can't have both at the same time. You must remain income eligible for either program.

MY SO STATES I CANNOT COLLECT COMPENSATION SINCE THERE WAS NO COMPENSATION IN 46-49. HOWEVER WITH ALL THE INFORMATION I HAVE DOES THIS MAKE SENCE TO YOU?

Frank, If you have a current medical problem, like your heart condition, that can be linked to your service, then you can be paid compensation for it. There is no time limit.

IN 2003 I GET 100% for ptsd BUT THIS ONLT STARTED IN 2003.

Frank, Congrat's on winning your PTSD claim!!

EVERYTHING SEEMS WIPED OUT OF RECORDS FROM AIR FORCE AND NAVY.

I THINK THE RO IS WRONG. WHAT DO YOU GUYS THINK? THANK YOU ALL.

I started to have problems with my jaw clicking and locking up on me when I was in the Army. I went to the dentist and he told me what was wrong and that I would have to have a bolt and screw put in my jaw and that I would look like Frankenstein. I said NO I don't want that and left. Years later when I understood that he was just trying to get rid of me I got my records to file a claim. There was a record of the visit but he had failed to put down anything except "Consultation" . No diagnosis or description of the symptoms. My claim failed because the VSO said my records were "silent" on the subject of TMJ. I did have some other dental work done in the Army and the dentist made a complete mess of it. He tried doing a tooth transplant in 1971. I don't think this was done by any dentist at the time. My mouth bled for about a week. It looked and felt like I had an orange in my jaw. He pulled a back molar and then pulled my wisdom tooth and tried to fit it into the socket. You talk about pain and having hamburger for a gum!
