Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted September 13, 2011 Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2011 The Ne RO is pretty quick, all things considered, but I found out , unofficially on Saturday, that my MDD claim has been approved at 30%. Im not appealing or anything, since I feel it is the correct adjudication. Now on to PDRB, and then to figure out if OSA is somehow tied to my depression and/or increased weight. Thanks Hadit!

carlie Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Congrats, I hope you have an effective date that provides some retro. Be sure to access dependent and possible additional VA and state benefits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator brokensoldier244th Posted September 13, 2011 Author Moderator Share Posted September 13, 2011 4 months worth, I think-effective date is May 18th. My dependents are already included. This puts me at 70%, but I still have an OSA exam coming up, though I don't know that it's service connected. I'm in pain, overweight, and depressed, and 2 of the 3 are service connected, but I don't think I can tie apnea to overweight because of inactivity due to pain. That is probably a stretch.

IMO it will depend completely on what a doctor is willing to put in writing. I am editing to add - please update your SC'd percentage in your profile - thanks.
