I had a Claim in 1996 for Dizziness and Respiratory Issues. I was denied in 1997 stating that there was no evidence that these were Service Connected. Also said that Dizziness was as symptom not a diagnosis. I didn't pursue this till 2015 and discovered that is what the American Legion had listed. A New Claim was open up for me by the New Orleans Regional Office for
Disabilities Claimed: head injury with residual equilibrium problems/possible Meniere's syndrome or vertigo (New), acute respiratory distress condition (New), bilateral ankle injury (New), chronic sinusitis (New), Seizures, grand mal (New), tinnitus (New), rhinitis (New)
The VA contracted Logistic Health Inc to handle my C&P Exams. I just got back from my Exam and the Nurse Practioner stated they were only looking at my Ankle Issues, Chrominc Bronchitis, Chronic Sinusitis and Rhinitis. That they were not asked to look at the Other Issues of Vertigo, possible Menieres / Seizures and Tinnitus. I called LHI and they stated that the VA didnt ask them to look at these issues.
Will the VA issue a C&P for these? I assume they do not have too but wouldnt they want too? The NP didnt do any measurements on my ankle, honestly barley touched them. Did XRays on Ankles, Sinus and Chest.
I have requeted my C-File from 1996 but only received the Decsion and Denial. I requested it again and still have not received it. I have also requested my SMR 4 months ago and have not gotten them. I know in my SMR there is I developed Acute Respiratory Disease in 1987. I complained of Dizziness in 1989. (I didnt know that Vertigo, Disequallibirum and Dizzness are different things). I know the Ankle issues are in my SMR. As for Menieres no diagonisis, all though the VA did an ENG test that showed I had Bilatteral Weakness to the Greatest Degree, supported Bilatteral Periphial Dysfuntion. (I attributed this from the Penmonia and ARD i was hospitalized in 1987 for 4 days with). This supports Vestibular Dysfuntion also associated with Menieres Disease. Also VA XRays that show I have Chronic Sinitius and Moderate Restrtive Respiratory issues.
