Question
MKIII87Turbo
I'm at 80% disability for chronic migraines, knee replacement, carpal tunnel L/R, kidney problems, and back problems. Probably missing some too. The last few months I've been going to th VA to get my back, migraines and carpal tunnel rechecked due to increase in pain. I have a few questions.
I was diagnosed with depression for the pain I'm in, 6-10 everyday. I'm not on medication for it but attend classes.
I was put on the CPAP machine due to my weight I would assume. The neurologis says weigh gain is from the Depakote I take everyday for the migraines.
I was diagnosed with tremors caused by the Depakote I take for the migraines.
I would think these are secondary to my main problems. Should I claim them? Is there set % for them or does it vary?
Since my new findings are with the VA system, will I need to get copies of my records when submitting for reevaluation/new submissions for a higher rating? Or do they have access to the medical records.
