Well I sit here with these SC 10% hypertension, 30% Migraines Diagnosed as SC to Hypertension, 40% DDD, 60% Hypertensive heart disease and 10% for tinunitius. I am at a sticking point as I was retired for 1 of my SC issues the Migraines which were linked to my Forced retirement back in 2001 from my Civilian Job. What I am getting from the VA is that since the claim I put in for IU DDD after 3 surgeries and a statement from the surgeon who did my last surgery , 3 level spinal fusion I had been turned down on my appeal at the VARO level. Should I go for a hail mary claiming that along with my current back and the migraines for which I was retired back in 2001 they have all of my records from socail Security and retirement board but they are claiming that since I listed the back as my reason they will not approve IU. I had to fight to get the intial rating for migraines but the VA claims they are follwing the guidlines based on my reason for retiremnt. I had posted on some issues before but how do I bring this up in my DRO hearing? I have not recvied a notice but I am stalking my mailbox. I put in for Tempoary 100% following surgery but they just now found the claim. I have had all of the C/P exam and I am on oxyegen Theraphy for the migraines plus 4 medicines but the examiner tried to hose me I had to submit a statement in Support to get the number of trips to the ER which are documented in the past year. I stay in chronic pain I am on Morphine and so many other drugs that if I could take them and drive. That is about all I have I have looked up the regs for IU am I missing something? Thanks
