Throat

Rate this question

Question

Am helping a vet., with throat issue(s). Been having problems with his voice. He has severe damage to his voice box, and is receiving injections. Recently had throat surgery at a VA facility, but to no avail.  We have applied for Disability, but as usual been denied.  Am wondering if any out there has had similar problems, and if any has been approved for Disability, on this. His Primary has stated that (probably) it might have been started while in service.  Vet, was in the Navy, and worked the flight line.

1. What issues was applied for. (technical name)

Thanks

As usual, tell the Vet you are helping to have "Documented" the 3 Caluza elements:

1.  Current diagnosis of (throat) condition.

2.  In service event or aggravation (which caused the throat condition).

3.  Nexus or doctors opinion linking 1 and 2.

It would help if we knew the 'technical "name for his condition.

Did he ever have larynx surgery prior to this happening?( loss of voice)

Was it done at the VA prior to the last surgery they did?

Was the claim filed for "throat" problems....that is very vague-

Can you scan and attach the denial as to the evidence they had and their rationale for the denial?

Cover C file # and name, address prior to scanning it-

Make sure the vet gives you their permission to scan and attach it here.

Would his primary doc be able to give an IMo on what he said?

Does this vet have GERD?
