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

Not sure if this is the correct spot on the forum to place this but I hope so.
My question(s) are about trying to understand what actually happens along the way when claims are filed and begins the journey to the final decision.
In May of 2010 I submitted an informal claim for IHD and other items. Then in June of 2010 I finished my work on putting the claim together and submitted the 21-526. All submitted and documented at my local Service Office.
Not having access to eBenifits until earlier this year I cannot say what the status was of any of the claims prior to access. I just sat back and waited. When I was asked to submit evidence other then what I initially did, I did so as soon as possible.
In one of the requests the VARO sent me the 21-8940 form. Note that I did not claim IU in my initial claim. Form was filled out and returned to my VASO the next day.
When I finally was able to log on and take a look, I saw that I had two claims listed and their status:
1. Compensation Claim-- Dated 7/6/10
2. Status Review Claim-- Dated 7/6/10
Now, under the "Compensation Claim" they listed: (abbreviated by me)
PTSD
Hearing Loss
Tinnitus
GERD
Left Hand Injury
Scar
High Cholesterol
IU
and under the "Status Review" claim they listed: (abbreviated by me)
IH
CAD
Heart Attacks
Severe Angina
Shortness of Breath
ED
Hypertention secondary to IH
GERD due to IH and PTSD
Not all these items were not listed on my initial claim but rather they were broken out apparently by the person who read my mountain of documentation that I sent with the claim.
In December of 2010 I had my C&P exams for all the above items.
One of my questions is this.
Up until 1-11-11 both those claims were listed as in the Development Stage
On 1-11-11 Both Claims were placed in the Decision Stage
Now on 1-19-11 The "Rating Review" claim has been "CLOSED" and the "Compensation Claim" has now been put back into the "DEVELOPMENT" stage.
Can someone explain what may be going on here? I have not seen anything in the mail nor anything in my bank account so I am kind of curious at to what this means. Still sitting back waiting for something to happen.
Thanks for all your help
