Lost

[Mama Bear]

I put aside my husbands claim out of frustration to start my own. Now that mine is in the works I decided I needed to go back to my husbands. Good thing to, the last denial was dated July 8th 2010. We have done about 2 nod and been denied both times. Not service connected. I really don't know how to go about this... Another nod? Or cue? What to state in the letter? We are trying for Tbi. They say it is not service connected because he didn't go to the medics afterwards, so therefor it is not service connected. Even though he has medical evidence that states Tbi from explosion After he got back from Iraq. We also have one buddy letter. My husband was a sniper and squad leader in Ramadi and Faluja. Any advice is well appreciated.

Mama Bear,

I sent you another PM.

Thanks again for the info. I finally know the differences about all the different claim areas. The second set of links, unless I missing something, which is quite possible, I knew all of that. Sooo I thought I would clear up what the va has from us and maybe someone can fill in the holes.

The va has a medical document that states that he was in a Humvee accident From an explosion in the front. This was do ument is when my husband got back from Iraq and saw a doctor for his back problems at ft carson hospital.

The va has a buddy letter, obviously not enough evidence.

They have the va doctors request to the Tbi clinq. The Tbi cliniques evaluations for a year and a half. The specialist told my husband he has Tbi, treated him for tbi and issued him equiipment for Tbi.'so unless she wrote thiings in his records contradicting what she told my husband and myself. ( she was so sweet she would call me at home and ask how he was doing and if I felt he was making

progress)

They also have the nureolofical medical evaluation that they ordered for the claim. Rhe doctor there asked my husband if he would like a referral to rhe tbi clinic . My husband told him he was already a loyal

Customer there.

My husband sent a photo of the board they had in headquarters that mapped all

The road side bombings they has been hit by after being there for only three months- there were hundreds.

He sent pictures of the Humvee that they were in. When they got. Hit.

That is about it.

But I feel like we are not just fighting about service connection, but if he even has Tbi at all. The cp examiner said it was not Tbi and it was emotional that was causing the problems.

I don't know maybe I just made muddy water but I hOpe it might give a little more insitento this claim. Like I said if it is lost cause then I just would like to know zones can move on.

Sorry for all the spelling mistakes my stupid phone changes words on me thinking it is making corrections.
