Wrong MOS listed

[joseM1964]

Hello,

I got a copy of my C and P of my tinnitus exam, and the doctor listed why he thought I was service connected. Listed my MOS that I had in the Army. Ok good.

I read on and then he listed and MOS I never held and stated that since I held this MOS, I should be service connected too.

So my question is, will anyone ever notice this incorrect additional MOS listed on my exam and go back and remove my 10% they gave me?

Thank you

99% of Tinnitus claims are for Subjectivie Tinnitus which cannot be tested so often as long as the claim is made and the MOS matches they grant it. sometimes they require you to go to a audiologist to say "yes i hear ringing" or its mentioned during a hearing loss exam.

Right, JoseM1964 Mention it (rigging in the ears) when he took his Hearing test  and Veterans need to mention this ringing in the ears (known as Tinnitus) to the  Audiologist When /After they take the Hearing test, this is what I had to do several years ago 1998-99 2000, approved for 50%in 2000 and increase to 90% in 2003

I had no Ideal what that ringing in my ears was and its subjective to hard of hearing Veterans  and depending on MOS if the Veteran was around loud noise during his military time  MOS ,  for me it was Rocket fire heavy artillery fire and incoming mortars  all most every night from Vietnam .

MY Hearing loss was bilateral (both ears) plus tinnitus  ''severe tinnitus''

They do look at that but also a Veteran can have a Temp MOS Assigned to him from his unit. as long as his Temporary MOS is on his DD 214 along with HIS original MOS.   if the Temp MOS is not on his DD -214  The veteran can put his unit name location and date close to 10/30 days or within that time  they will check it out and if what the veteran mention was truthful  then they concede his hearing loss was caused from his military service.  he can also use Buddy statements  if he can remember the names he served with.

The loss of hearing is called noise induced hearing loss (EAR DRUM DAMAGE FROM LOUD SUDDEN NOISE) and it gets worse as the years go by  for me it took about 7&10 years before I started have problems hearing  and my spouse had me to take a hearing test  and at a younger age around 28/29 years old we thought it was odd my hearing getting bad at that age??  but stupid old me I never thought about the noise induced hearing loss caused by loud sudden noise while I was in the military, I found this out from a VAMC Audiologist  and he told me to file a claim for it  so I did.  I only went to the VA to get hearing aids  and found out VA Would pay for them   so I did that too.

Just remember they only pay 10% for tinnitus for both ears no matter how severe ...and more % if your hearing loss is profound or greater 10 % all the way up to 100% and with VA Criteria  a Veteran needs to be damn near deaf to get a compensation any %
