WVSERVER Posted November 2, 2018 Share Posted November 2, 2018 (edited) Long time lurker just stopping by to say thanks. Everything I have learned about VA claims has been learned here. Recently I ask the VA to reopen my claim for migraines secondary to major depressive disorder. They reopened it and I had a C&P exam. I was expecting to be denied secondary connection again. I was super surprised when I found out the VA had granted connection at 30%. Not only did that move me to 100% combined put the VA granted permanent and total with no future exams. Plus they went back 1 year to the date when I first ask for secondary service connection instead of the date I asked them to reopen. Maybe this is the new VA. I also won an 8 year battle for service connection to fybromaliga a few months before this . Someone at the finally stopped to read the same evidence I have been giving them for the last 8 years. I revived 40% on that one which did not change my rating at the time. once again hadit veterans thanks for sharing your knowledge.

paulstrgn Posted November 3, 2018 Share Posted November 3, 2018 Congratulations!! I am not an attorney or an a credited VA rep. These are my personal opinions and experiences, always remember what worked for me may not work for you. You as the veteran are your own best advocate and no one knows your disabilities better than you. It is highly recommended that you as the veteran research and verify that any opinion given meets your specific situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
