VA Disability Claims: 5 Game-Changing Precedential Decisions You Need to Know
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
These decisions have made a big impact on how VA disability claims are handled, giving veterans more chances to get benefits and clearing up important issues.
Service Connection
Frost v. Shulkin (2017)
This case established that for secondary service connection claims, the primary service-connected disability does not need to be service-connected or diagnosed at the time the secondary condition is incurred 1. This allows veterans to potentially receive secondary service connection for conditions that developed before their primary condition was officially service-connected.
Saunders v. Wilkie (2018)
The Federal Circuit ruled that pain alone, without an accompanying diagnosed condition, can constitute a disability for VA compensation purposes if it results in functional impairment 1. This overturned previous precedent that required an underlying pathology for pain to be considered a disability.
Effective Dates
Martinez v. McDonough (2023)
This case dealt with the denial of an earlier effective date for a total disability rating based on individual unemployability (TDIU) 2. It addressed issues around the validity of appeal withdrawals and the consideration of cognitive impairment in such decisions.

Are all military medical records on file at the VA?
RichardZ posted a topic in How to's on filing a Claim,
I met with a VSO today at my VA Hospital who was very knowledgeable and very helpful. We decided I should submit a few new claims which we did. He told me that he didn't need copies of my military records that showed my sick call notations related to any of the claims. He said that the VA now has entire military medical record on file and would find the record(s) in their own file. It seemed odd to me as my service dates back to 1981 and spans 34 years through my retirement in 2015. It sure seemed to make more sense for me to give him copies of my military medical record pages that document the injuries as I'd already had them with me. He didn't want my copies. Anyone have any information on this. Much thanks in advance.-

Caluza Triangle defines what is necessary for service connection
Tbird posted a record in VA Claims and Benefits Information,
Caluza Triangle – Caluza vs Brown defined what is necessary for service connection. See COVA– CALUZA V. BROWN–TOTAL RECALL
This has to be MEDICALLY Documented in your records:
Current Diagnosis. (No diagnosis, no Service Connection.)
In-Service Event or Aggravation.
Nexus (link- cause and effect- connection) or Doctor’s Statement close to: “The Veteran’s (current diagnosis) is at least as likely due to x Event in military service”-

Question
Josephine
My first C&P was by a PHD Psychologist with a More Likely than Not Anxiety began in service.
My file was transferred to another Regional Office, when the C&P results came in, as my niece is a DRO at that R.O.
She had always told me that she had signed off when I was in the rating board. Not true.
5 months after I was transferred to another R.O for rating. I was send before a Board of Two Psychiatrist, Male and Female.
The C&P was full of lies and slanderous accusations, none to be backed up by any of my Private or Military records. She committed fraud with the intent to deceive.
I will if I have to, turn her in to the Virginia Board Of License.
The male Psychiatrist would not sign the C&P.
Their determination nothing bothered her in service.
The C&P was so full of lies that I sent a rebuttal to the R.O and the Medical Center and requested a new C&P.
I did not receive one.
8 months later, I received by denial.
We place our weight with the Psychiatrist, because they are Psychiatrist.
I had received my Statement of the Case before I received my first C&P with a form 9 to turn in. I did this.
With the form 9 being at the BVA months before my denial, when I received the denial, my time at the BVA was only a couple of months.
I made sure that everyone knew about the legalities of my claim and the slanderous lies written in the C&P and drew a child proof map for the BVA to locate the lies. From Military to Private medical records, to compare with what she had typed.
The remand states -
After the above development has been completed, the veteran's claims file
should returned to the board of VA psychiatrists who participated in the
April 2005 examination for clarification of the provided opinion. They should be
requested to review the record and reconcile their opinion as to etiology in
light of the evidence added since their examination of the veteran, including the
May 2005 statement of Dr. B C. C and the January 2006 statement of
Dr. M P.
The Mangement Center also had the choice to send me for another examination, but they have chosen the fair route.
I fill this is victory for me.
Now my file is back at The Medical Center on the desk of the Male Psychiatrist. He has had it since Tuesday.
I was told by the BVA that my examination is the first one to be send back to the Psychiatrist to explain why they did what they did in 25 years.
I know that he refused to sign it the first time, what can I expect from him this time? Will I be allowed to pick up a copy of his write- up at the Medical Center.
I will not allow that lady psychiatrist tell me that the medical records state that I have 3 children, but that I claim to have only 2. That is a dern lie. I have two daughters and my medical records state this.
Eating disorder is severe diabetic.
Self - Inflicted wounds- never.
I know that the board has disagreed with my doctor of 29 years being a Board Certified Internist, but he knows me better than they do in their 45 minutes.
I will not let that lady lie about me and my character.
The BVA wants to know" What was the reason for her early discharge of 13 months"? I was taking Librium for my nerves and Caffergot for headaches.
I have a letter from the commanding Officer that only states Unsuitability ( No reason).
I know that I filed in 1978 and again in 2002 and received a pension of being 100% disabled as of 1983. The Va never secured my Psychiatric Records from the Archives, I did this myself in 2004.
My DD214 Code 460
Does it appear that my claim is finally getting on the right track?
Thanks,
Josephine
