Type 1 Diabetes recent onset!
Marc14 posted a question in VA Disability Compensation Benefits Claims Research Forum,
I was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes in September 2017 OUT OF NOWHERE.
i am a Navy Reservist and deployed in later 2009 to mid 2010 and again later 2014 to mid 2015; had a 2 year recall between those deployments.
Only healthcare received since commissioning in 2008 was from the Navy and no issues EVER.
insulin dependent and have dietary restrictions and in a non deployable status.
VA denied initial claim due to Type 1 not showing on active duty and now appealing.
Anyone with successful experience getting a rating with my circumstances? I live in Upstate New York.-

Agent Orange Kadena Afb Okinawa
clynch726 posted a question in Agent Orange,
I am looking for anyone who was on Kadena AFB, Okinawa or .Chanute AFB, IL. My dad was there from Oct. 68-April 70. He has ichemic heart disease, diabetes which has resulted in the amputation of his right leg below the knee and peripheral neuropathy. We were denied in 2002 AMVETS filed a claim on his behalf for heart condition, diabetes and back problems. I refiled in December 2011 and have just received the claim statements and medical release forms. I am familiar with filling out this paper work because my husband is a combat veteran of Iraqi Freedom. I have been reading articles from the Japan times and I am a member of the Agent Orange Okinawa facebook page. Another thing that helps make my dad's case is that he was on Chanute AFB, IL and it is on the EPA Superfund list and has PCBs/Pesticides and Dioxins/Furans listed as ground and water contaminants. I welcome any advice, tips or articles that I may have missed in my own research.-

Appeal granted and closed.
Renegade87 posted a question in Appealing Your Veterans Compensation Disability Claims NOD, DRO, BVA, USCAVC,
My appeal was granted and closed on November 9. I got an unofficial notification from the DAV on November 15 stating "appeal granted with an evaluation of 30%" which is great! My question is this: How long until I get the official notification from the va? Nothing on ebennies has updated since the appeal closed. Appeal is now in historical and just says complete and at originating va office. I understand no one knows va timelines to a tee but a general timeline would be great. Thank you all! Hope you have a Merry Christmas!
Edit: This was my first time appealing and it was a VBA grant.-

PLEASE BR WITH ME AS I TRY TO LET YOU KNOW JUST WHAT I NEED HELP WITH. FIRST LET ME SAID HI ALL AND MY NAME IS SPARKLE. NOW THIS IS MY STORE. IN 1982 I HAD TBI THAT WAS NEVER PUT IN MY MEDICAL RECORD BUT WAS SENT TO THE HOSPITAL FOR IT. I WAS DISCHARGED FROM THE USAF IN DEC. OF 82. THIS IS WHAT MY RECOMMENDATION FOR DISCHARGE SAID.
I RECOMMEND____________BE DISCHARGED FROM THE USAF FOR CONDITIONS THAT INTERFERE WITH MILITARY SERVICE. THE AUTHORITY FOR MY REMMENDATION IS AFR 35-41 VOL III, PARA 5-30B. THE SPECIFIC REASONS ARE:
_______WAS GIVEN A PSYCHIATRIC EVALUTION ON DEC 10 1982, BY _________ WHO DETERMINED _____HAD A PERSONALITY DISORDER WOULD BE UNABLE TO FOLLOW ORDERS AND INSTEAD WOULD EXPECT OTHERS TO CONFORM TO HER(VERY FUNNY).
IN SUPPORT OF 5-30B(3),_____STATED IT USUALLY TAKES SEVERAL YEARS (SEE WHERE I AM GOING WITH THIS) OF PSYCHOTHERAPY BEFORE ONE SEES SOME MODIIDICATION. DENIAL IS HER PRIMARY DEFENSE AGAINST ANXIETY. _______FOUND HER TO BE INELIGIBLE FOR CONTINUED DUTY UNDER DSM CODE 301.50 TYPE OF SEPARATION RECOMMENDED WILL BE HONORABLE.
NOW IF YOU NOTICE I HAD A INJURY FOR TBI AND HAVE A 10% RATING FOR THAT, NEVER TOLD THEM I HAD ANXIETY, DEPRESSION, PTSD (NOT EVEN HEARD ABOUT BACK THEN). MY MAIN PROBLEM AND HOSIPAL STAY WAS FOR TBI. NOW THAT I DO HAVE A DIAGNOSTIC FOR THE FOLLOWING: CHRONIC PTSD, DEPRESSION, MST,BIPOLAR, PANIC ATTACKS, HEADACHE,ANIETY, AND INSOMM. CAN I BE ABLE TO GO BACK AS FAR AS 1982 AND CLAIM THE ANXIETY AND PERSONALITY DISORDER BECAUSE THAT WAS WHAT I WAS BEEN DISCHARGED FOR IN THE FIRST PLACE AND NEVER GOT A RATING FOR. I KNOW THIS IS LONG BUT JUST WAS TRYIN TO GIVE U ALL THE FACTS SO THAT U COULD BEST HELP ME WITH THIS.
THANKS IN ADVANCE FOR YOU HELP
