I sent in the supplemental claim form with attached statement in support of claim and added evidence. It took only five days or less to deny my requests on several issues. I don't think they looked at anything other than supplemental claim form and nothing else. I did not use a VSO although the american legion is listed as my VSO (i tried contacting them but never got any appointments, etc, they ignored me and same with DAV, and others too). I did my original claims on my own, no help from anyone (I recently found you site searching about this). I managed to get 60% disability. I suffer from IBS and was told by the examiner I needed proof of a diagnosis. I had a diagnosis from a specialist who has moved around and no longer has records for me as they were from over years ago. I found a record of being sent to him and being prescribed meds for IBS and then getting another drug as the first was causing issues. I don't like drugs and so over the years i would get a prescription from a doc in the box when IBS was flared up. I had to this in July as I was stressed, upset as I lost a brother and nephew to covid in June. I sent this in with my claim and proof that I still suffer daily and get meds when it is really bad, as i thought when in doubt the VA gives the vet the benefit of the doubt. IBS then would benefit my claim of auto immune disease and other odd illnesses that all started in same time frame. I guess they don't want that as I am a Gulf War vet and that mean gulf war illness and harder to deny associated illnesses like skin cancer, pre cancerous lesions, unexplained rashes, Reynolds syndrome, etc. I served in guam, california, on board uss missouri. It just seems odd they got my claim and decided in record time, is this common these days? What can i do as I don't want to start over as that would mean losing that time and payments if given high enough ratings. Some things i just asked to get service connected like my ankles but they said there is record of it but not an issue today. VSO is that good route if there are any good ones that could help. Of should i try the legal route with a lawyer? any suggestions and experiences . thank you

datart Welcome to Hadit brother. Here's the deal. To receive an approved disability claim you need the Caluza Triangle: a current diagnosis, an event or illness of the injury in-service, and a connect
