Question

Posted

I WAS APPROVED AT 10 %, IHD (ON APPEAL NOW FOR 30%). I WAS APPROVED AT 80% FOR PARKINSON'S (ON APPEAL FOR RETROACTIVE PAY, NEHMER) AND APPROVED FOR 100% TDIU. THE PARKINSON'S IS PROGRESSING FAST AND I KNOW I'M GOING TO END UP IN A WHEEL CHAIR OR CONFINED TO BED. I HAVE FOUR SECONDAIRES I COULD FILE ON IHD AND PARKINSON'S, BUT IS THEIR ANY USE TO FILE SINCE I AM AT 100%. CAN YOU GET MORE THAN 100%, IF I CAN I WILL FILE IF IT CAN HELP MY FANTASTIC WIFE.

GOD BLESS

Yes if you feel you have valid claims you should file them. I am living proof that you can go from TDIU to 100% to HB to A&A.... and along the way pick up a K award, adapted housing and auto grants,and no one said it could be done.. My VA Check is $3878 monthly...

I posted this on another blog but think it was an old one so I am posting here. I have severe COPD (BULLOS EMPHSEMA). I HAVE A FEV1 OF 32% and have been out of work since feb 2012. My doctor says its very rare for someone of my age(43) to have it from smoking alone. I quit smoking in 2006 and was doing fine until oct of 2011. After finding my dicharge paper work that I kept all the years I discoverd that on my exit exam xray it plainly said I had bullos changes but nobody told me. The doctor that did my c/p exam checked the box that said that It was more than likely that not service connected. he use the rAtional of the xray during the exit exam IN APRIL OF 92. Does it sound like I will get 100% because my doctor says Im totaly disablrd and I have applied for ss disabilty as well?

    • 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.

    • 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
      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”
