Max Rommel
One more question from a newbie. I applied for disability for hearing loss and Tinnitus. I was awarded 10% for Tinnitus but zero for hearing loss. In the denial letter for hearing loss the VA said that my hearing today is actually better than when I was separated 51 years ago! I am very skeptical. When I started my VA disability efforts they could not find my DD214. They said "We have no record of your service." So I gave them a copy of my DD214 and we went forward from there. So my question is: Should I believe that they really have my separation medical records when the VA couldn't even find my DD214? Should I appeal the hearing loss decision and ask to see a copy of my physical from my separation that they claim to have?
Thanks again,
Max

Thanks for your reply. I'll use your info to follow up. One thing that's amusing is they gave me a $4,000 pair of hearing aids and then followed up by denying my hearing claim.

That's typical of the VA
