0 NavyWife Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) In order for a VA claim to be approved, it generally has to have three parts. Part one --something happened in service. In your medical records you would have an event, symptoms, treatment or a diagnosis of an issue. Part two-- Something is bothering you right now. You are currently undergoing treatment for an issue or have a diagnosis of a current issue. Part three--a Dr. can tie parts part 1 & part 2 together. This is called a Nexus statement. An example would look something like this, " The veterans deviated septum -incurred in service- more likely than not caused his obstructive sleep apnea." This can come from either a VA doctor or a private doctor. For most direct service connection claims you will need all three of these parts for an approval. If your claim is secondary or presumptive then the rules are a little bit different. What stage is your claim in right now? If you do not have a copy of your Service Medical Records (SMRs or STRs) that is the first thing you need to get. If you do have a copy of your SMRs, then you need to read through them and find the notes for things that happened while in service.

0 Fat Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 To have a claim service connected for compensation, you need to complete the triangle set forth by the VA. 1. Must have documented incident in service medical records. 2. Must have a current diagnosis by a physician. 3. To complete the triangle one the following must happen: a. Disease or incident must be considered chronic in nature b. Veteran must be able to show continuity of car since leaving service. c. Veteran can get nexus letter showing connection between current situation and military duty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
