Topayton Posted July 18, 2014 Share Posted July 18, 2014 Today was a good day; I received the direct deposit on today. 30% DAV with twelve months of back pay. Not bad for my first claim. 10% chronic bronchitis 10% tinnitus 10% Pseudofolliculitis barbae I have also been diagnosed with sleep apnea, diabetes II and high blood pressure by the VA. I am also currently starting the PTSD counseling class recommended by my primary counselor. I am looking at advice on the direction for any claims on the above. I didn’t have any while in service, but feel are aggravated by the chronic bronchitis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
