VA Disability Claims: 5 Game-Changing Precedential Decisions You Need to Know
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.
Service Connection
Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected.
Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.
Effective Dates
Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

Are all military medical records on file at the VA?
RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,
I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful. We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did. He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims. He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file. It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to 1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015. It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me. He didn't want my copies. Anyone have any information on this. Much thanks in advance.-

Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL
This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:
Current Diagnosis. (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)
In-Service Event or Aggravation.
Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”-

Question
Guest allanopie
Hi to all,
Mike sent in a BVA decision on Aplastic Anemia/Myelodysplastic Syndrome or
AML.
http://www.va.gov/vetapp04/files4/0434293.txt
The Board of Veterans Appeals has established the connection and the rating
is 100%.
As I have indicated those with diabetes and sensorineural hearing loss /
tinnitus this is medically connected and Mike says he has a copy of the results of
the VA study that established the connection.
Mike's e-mail is VET66A@aol.com
I believe they have known this since the Seveso, Italy report came out but
just have refused to make AML and derivatives automatically associated.
Looking at those figures it was clear that AML had more deaths, and AML
remained significant in the lower exposed areas while CLL did not.
Thanks for sending that in.
I go this next Wednesday bright and early for my yearly endo for esophagus
and stomach lets look and see what is going on. Since I have been on the meds I
have had not anywhere near the problems. I am optimistic they will find
little if any additional damages done.
Best,
Kelley
