I know that this question might have been asked 100 times or more but here's the questions I bring to you. Back in 2003 I applied for disability for my migraine headaches and my rheumatoid arthritis at the time I was denied for service connection and by 2005 I was out of applies so I did nothing else about it,fast forward to 2012 I filed another claim for PTSD due to MST was granted 100% I used mt records from SSDI which I have been getting since 2002 In 2014 I requested to reopen my claim for RA and Migraines to be reopen they were reopened and within 4 months I was granted 100% for the rheumatoid arthritis and 50% for the migraines which now I am getting 100% with SMC and being housebound (which don't understand that either).I want to know can I request that the VA go back to an EED for the PTSD/MSt even though I only applied in 2012 and can I request an EED for the RA and Headaches, I feel that for years the VA has done me wrong caused my family a lot of hardship and pain I don't really know how to go about doing this even though all the claims thus far I did do on my own without the help of anyone because i was afraid no one would help me can someone here in this group pleas tell me what you think Thank you in advance
