I've haven't done anything since the 90's because the DAV in Baltimore is overwhelmed and I was frustrated. However this site has given me a new life to pick up the ball again. I started a new claim on 5/6/2015. Hopefully I'll get it right this time. My pes planus is service connected from the 80's.VA totally missed that. In addition I had sinus problems throughout my military service, now I have sleep apnea with a CPAP. I may not be 100% like many of my brothers, but I know I'm greater than 40%

Rootbeer; Don't put the cart before the horse so to speak...Like you said see what you are S/C for and what is denied and go from there. I too had several denials that should not have been denied

Rootbeer I got out in 1996 and never knew I should have been S/C all these years. I filed in May 2013 and finally got S/C for most of what I should be S/C for in 2014. I am still battling the VA
