Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
Rhodesia 5
Ok I received my temporary 100% for my left knee. due to surgery again. I was denied my increase for my left knee due to the fact that the VA states you can not get both. yes they said BOTH. I subbmitted two seperate claims one for the left knee for an increase, and one for the temporary 100% So my claim has been sitting out there for at least 9 months until I received my letter. Well some how the VA mirriored both as one claim which canceled the other one out. here's the kicker the letter states that I did receive and granted 10% increase for my left knee but it was taken back because the VA states that you can not have a percentage for disibility that is over 100%. Go figure. so now I have to eaither appeal it or request a whole new service connected increase again for the left knee. This is my second surgery and I now were a metal brace for my left knee issued by the VA which somehow the VA left that out of the letter.
Well I was told I could file a secondary for scars and Arthritis due to my knee surgerys.
I have another question for anyone out there I have had left foot problems ever since my knee surgery. Been seeing the foot doctor at the VA for this condition, so my question is can I or what claim can I submitt to mirrior with my service connected left knee?
any help would be great or if anyone knows how to write a statement to apply for these issues would be helpfull.
Have a safe Holiday...Cheers
