Examples of Denials for Claims

[Kkinsey123]

Trying to get a consensus of what most of the common denials are. If anyone can give some examples and what their reasoning was..........

Failure to adhere to the three legs of the Caluza triangle.   https://www.hadit.com/caluza-triangle-defines-necessary-service-connection/

I agree with Todd, failure to get all 3 legs of the Caluza triangle is almost an "automatic" denial.  

There are at least 2 other denial reasons that are very very common:

1.  VA loses, or the Veteran fails to submit key evidence.  If the VA does not have "documentation" of your disability, then they will deny it.  

2.  VARO's inability to read.  In order to become a rating specialist, you need to be able to read at a kindergarten level or less.  The VA fires any rating specialist who can read, immediately, as this would cost them a bunch of money.  A perfect rating specialist is one who can rubber stamp "claim denied" on claims without reading them quickly.
