USCG CWO4 Posted May 24, 2013 Share Posted May 24, 2013 I wasn't aware that you could get rated for Hypogonadism. I have it and I take meds daily for it, but was denied SC even though it was in my service record and started in service. Although I did get SMC K. I was under the impression that it wasn't rateable? Is this something I should appeal? I am still within my first year of their decision? Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

carlie Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I'm considering appealing for P&T, does anyone know if their could be a drawback to a appeal? (such as lowering my rating) cg, If P&T status has not yet been considered by VBA and denied - then the issue is not ripe to begin an appeal on. In other words, we can't appeal an issue until the issue has been denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlie Posted May 25, 2013 Share Posted May 25, 2013 I found this interesting, I logged in to pay my Federal Student Loan today and on 3/28/13 it was paid in full, no details as to where the payment came from. I can only assume that the VA made this payment, whats odd is I have not filed any paperwork in regards to my student loan with the VA. Would they take the initiative to do this on their own? I personally would check into this further and request a letter of loan satisfaction or waiver of balance,whatever they refer to this as legally.
