I just joined the forums and I'm new to navigating the VA system. So far it hasn't been that bad. I filed a claim in March 2017 for the following:
Left ankle-sprained on an airborne jump. Claimed approved at 10% rating
Skin condition from Desert Storm- Claim denied as I was never treated when I was in.
Left wrist/hand- Broke hand during an airborne jump and went to the hospital on Ft. Bragg and was in a cast. Claim was denied, VA said not service connected.
so here's my issue. I had a C&P exam for the ankle and my medical,records supported it. I never had a C&P for my wrist or an exam and I'm sure since it was in a cast it should be in my records. The doctor was really helpful and when I asked,him he said he was just looking at the ankle.
I am thinking I want and shou,d do a NOD appeal as I know I had a broken hand and it was in a cast. I feel as though they should have done a C&P exam. Not sure what I should say in my appeal........? Obviously I wou,d re-state the circumstances and point out the lack of an exam being done, I'm not sure how they can reach that conclusion.........
