oK Here it is. I don't understand but I am trying to.
Okay, I was told they look at your treatment record and your diagnose at that time. let me just run this by everyone.
i file a disability claim for iron deficiency anemia. I have been on medication since basic training. diagnose in basic traing as CHRONIC anemia.
Ok I file my claim for compensation and this is what came back in 1999.
Service medical records show that the veteran was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia in 1989. (which should have been 1988, when I enter the miltary). This condition is evaulated as 0 percent disabling from December 11, 1997. A noncompensable evaulation is assigned whenever hemoglobin is recorded as 10gm/100 ml or less with no symptomatology.
Service medical records show that the veteran was diagnosed with iron deficiency anemia in 1989. Blood tests in May 1992 revealed hemoglobin of 9.8gm and hematocrit of 30.1 percent. At the May 1998 VA examination, the veteran's hemoglobin was found to be 10gm and her hematocrit was 31.6 percent. The veteran reported no symptoms related to the condition and did not indicate that she was on medication. The examiner diagnosed anemia.
I WAS ON IRON MEDICATION AT THE TIME, and still is on iron medication as of today. but, i know the examier did not as me was i on any medication nor ask me anything about anemia. because he didn't get the blood test done until another time(day)
Now, what do I have here, or do I have nothing.
This C&P was done back in 1998, and everything they did on me has been a mess
