I am hoping that soon the VARO in chicago will rate my claim. Originally filed in January 2010 but VSO submitted paperwork wrong way and VA came up with date of claim as 19 April 2011. Claimed 4 additional contentions currently at 10% for Tinitus. Nov. 6th 2012 had C&P exam. This time it went very well I think my Podiatrist talked to the examener. Primary problem Left ankle talas bone is collapsing, Avascular Necrosis, I have to were a AFO brace to walk will have ankle fused later this spring. Claimed as secoundary to ankle, Spinal disk/back, Blown right knee, and bad right hip. Got copy of C&P exam, Ankle and back, MORE THAN LIKEKY SC, R. Knee and R. Hip AT LEAST AS LIKELY SC. With this and the other statements by Radiologest verify problem as old injury I have no doubt that NEXUS has been established. I have many entries in my Military medical records concerning my left foot and ankle. They even changed my profile while in Okinawa stating I would more than likely not complete 20 yrs of service due to my condition. Anyways on Nov. 7th recieved letter from VA chicago asking if I had any more info to give them and would I like to file for IU since it appears I will be eligable. I missed the call 1 week earlier from VA guess they were going to ask it then.
My VSO attached a letter to their letter and we told them to adjudicate all items except IU which I will apply for later. Letter hand carried /recieved by VA on Dec. 7th. 2012. On Dec. 13th VA recieved all info from Social Security, I hav,nt worked since September 2012 and was approved in 5 weeks for SSDI waiting till mid April for 1st SSDI check. I know that as of February 8th 2013 my file was on team 2 desk in Chicago. Checked again last week still there as of March 11th, 2013. Yesturday was 700 days 23 months on this claim date I hope they don,t find a reason to send it back, its hard to stay optimistic....
