Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

erax- do you have a legal citation on the lack of future C & Ps for AO P & T presumptives?
I have a vet- 2 PHs , and AO cancer, also Sec tion 1151-
50% PTSD
40 GSW and scarring
100% AO due to Sec 1151 medical screw up -
and SMC under "S" award
I cannot get the vet to comprehend- even though I got him the 100% under 1151- that his AO NHL lymphoma has been acknowledged and rated by VA at 100% with resulting SMC for colostomy-BUT they VA has NEVER paid him any hospialization benefit ,nor any convalenscence and NEVER paid him any AO SC comp. They just gave him the 100% because they almost killed him.
It is difficult to deal with him and he said the AO claim I wrote for him 3 years ago still sits on his dresssor and maybe-when I win-he will file his- we have the same Vet rep.
Luckily-since he is Nehmer class action- he can get retro whenever he files the claim.
He never nodded their decision under 1151 because he was afraid to yet it was wrong-
He got a letter for a Re-evualuation and cannot tell me what disability it is for-
of course he is so stressed out but yet cannot find it to read it to me- and cannot remember what it said- just set for re evaluation--he just calls me and gets angry and political etc ----
he has called his rep so many times about the re-evaluation but cannot remember what the rep said it was for and will not contact the rep again-
I cannot imagine- based on his overall SC picture why this is happening to him.
Dont get me wrong- I have been friends with this vet for 20 years- and I like him a lot-
and accept his difficult nature due to his PTSD-I guess I could ask our mutual vet rep what the re eval is for- but it might take hours to explain it to the vet-I dont think he should even be getting this eval and I think his PTSD is as "catastrophic" as they said Rod's was (my husband) and should be 100% too.
Can you give me the citation for what you stated?

When thousands of Americans faced annihilation in the 1800s Chief Osceola's response to his people, the Seminoles, was
simply "They(the US Army)have guns, but so do we."
Sameo to us -They (VA) have 38 CFR ,38 USC, and M21-1- but so do we.
