Question
RuskiLinguist
Hello All! I just want to start by thanking in advance all of the pearls of wisdom that the collective masses provide here.
I originally filed a claim for hearing loss and tinnitus (as well as other issues) back in July of 1998 when I got out of the military. I was awarded 10% back then, and just recently got raised to 100% SC for PTSD, MDD and Alcohol Abuse. The effective date for that rating was October of 2009.
I was denied service connection for the hearing loss and tinnitus back in 1998, even though the military was the only life I had known to that point.
Now I see the Fast Letter 10-35 which basically concedes hearing loss and tinnitus for my Duty MOS.
How should I approach this claim? Just asking, because if I can get 10 or 20% added back to 1998, then we are not talking about chump change here. 20% added to my other 10% will make it 30% and the dependent $$$$$'s would be retro as well.
Any and all advice is welcomed and appreciated.
Sincerely,
Your Ruski Linguist
