Question
Rakkasan
Forgive me I am a novice at this.
I got out of the army almost a year ago and immediately began my disability claim for hearing loss, stiffness in my knees and PTSD. Did two tours in Iraq as an 11B. I just received my letter from the VA giving me 10% for tinnitus and denying everything else. Explanation was pretty much lack of evidence. I submitted my ARCOM award recommendations that detailed what all had happened. Was told they believe I was in a hostile environment but no evidence that a condition manifest during service. Was told no reason why I was denied for hearing loss even though I can hear perfectly out of my left ear but can't hear jack out of my right. As for my stiffness I had submitted a sick call slip and a prescription from the PA in which I have been taking 800mg ibuprofen almost everyday. It is so extremely hard to get out of bed in the morning and it takes me about 40 minutes to be able to move around. Explanation said that treatment records show that I was seen for it but I was never clinically diagnosed with a problem. I have just typed up a NOD and requested for a DRO review. Other than that is there anything else I can do to better my chances. Any help would be really appreciative. Thank you.
