Attention xxx-xx-xxxx In reply to 314/212B
Dear Sir,
I received a rating decision dated 13 July 2005. Consider this letter to be an official “Notice of Disagreement” (NOD) regarding the following disabilities
1, The rating for gastritis with esophagitis and history of hiatal hernia (claimed as acid reflux) at 10 percent is to low I believe that a evaluation of 30 percent is warranted I have many of the symptoms If you notice the rating decision for chest pain was denied there has been a substantial weight loss from 178 to 163. I believe after talking to my primary care physician Dr Fee that my chest pains and weight lossisue to my acid reflux. When I went to QTC for my exam for Laryngitis I puked on the doctor three times and she was never able to finish the exam. Her exact words were your should not be gagging and throwing up your acid reflux is out of control and that you need to have to have your exam rescheduled
2, The rating for Chronic laryngopharyngeal reflux (claimed as laryngitis) rated at 0 percent is 2 low. I never received a proper C+P Exam as I states above in paragraph one I kept throwing up on the doctor. The records for my chronic Laryngitis go back almost 15 years.
3, Service connection on my right shoulder was denied even thou I was treated for right shoulder pain in the Military. The attending Physician Assistant gave me some pain pills and that was that. On Langley Air Force Base in Virginia where I was stationed there was no such thing as sick call (lack of doctors.) So when I was in pain I just took a 500-milligram pain pill and pressed on if I were given x-rays in the military my right shoulder problem would have shown up. I believe under VA regulations I should be given the benefit of doubt. I was on active duty the second time from Dec 1984 to April 2003. Considering the fact that the military lost my records and x-rays show the problem right out of the military it should be service connected
4 Service connection for chronic sore throat was denied I believe that is also caused by my acid reflux and should be either secondary to my acid reflux or classified under acid reflux to my daily gagging in the morning.
5, My claim for asbestos exposure that I claimed on 9 Aug 2004 was never acted upon.
6,Just for your general knowledge Langley Air Force Base in Virginia is so short of doctors they due not give retirement physicals even thou I asked for one.
7, I am requesting a DE NOVO Review by a new Decision Review Officer
V/R
