I have documented evidence in my service medical record that I partially tore my right bicep or had a "Grade II bicep strain" and the VA denied the SC!!! Their reasoning is that I did not have any residual effects from the injury... WTF!!! How can that be??? How can I be denied for something that was CLEARLY evident in my medical records??? But, anyway I filed a NOD in Feb 2015 to appeal the decision (still waiting on the VA) and I sought and got an medical exam and a medical opinion for the injury. The medical exam x-ray showed "3 views right elbow show slight degenerative changes of the radiocapitellar articulation" and the medical opinion from the doctor stated that my partially right bicep tear was "more likely than not" an injury that was due to military service. However, the x-ray shows something else in addition to my bicep injury.
Will the VA SC me for the partially right bicep tear or the degenerative right elbow or both? Any information will be helpful in determining what my chances are with getting SC.
