Good afternoon; I just wrote this letter on my behalf in my own words and I would like to request opinions on if I should include this letter, when I opt into RAMP(supplemental). I also have a previously submitted nexus from neurologist and additional letters from buddy's with regards to headaches as well. Will this letter help me? I plan on having it notarized as well
Please note that I have been on appeal since March of 2016 with my denial in April of 2015 in which a CP examiner stated SMR's absent of headaches when it in fact it's there.
To Whom It May Concern,
My name is and I served on active duty in the US Navy from March of 1990 to April 1997. I have previously written a statement with regards to my diagnosed migraine headaches.
With regards to my headaches, they have increased in intensity and I have had to miss work on numerous occasions due to my headaches. I have approximately 15 headaches per month and this includes weekly prostrating (physically and emotionally exhausted; incapacitated) headaches in which I must lay down in a dark room. They can last anywhere from 1 to 2 days and cause extreme nausea and very bad fatigue after the headache is gone. I can't be exposed to light or noise. I also keep a waste basket by the bed and must use for when I throw up due to the nausea. Up until the last 2 years I had 2 prostrating headaches per month for approximately 15 years but in the last 2 to 3 years they have increased to 4 to 5 per month. It has affected my ability to work affecting me and my family economically to the point where I have been laid off of jobs due to missing time. It has also been noticed when I am unable to perform certain duties at work after a headache due to extreme fatigue the next day. My family and social time is affected as well but I fear one day my headaches might get bad enough to where employers will not hire me severely affecting me economically.
I swear that this statement is true and correct under penalty of lying under oath.
The NP only seen me. It would have provided a positive paper trail for the claim. The facility provided me a letter saying that they do indeed dispose of records after 10 years. I have already provided the VA this letter in my appeal so perhaps I will leave that part out.
