I searched my medical files and found a document stating my seizures were witnessed by ER medical staff at Tripler Medical Hospital in 2012.  Should I submit that report to the VA now or wait until I get their decision letter first. Currently,  eBenefits show that I was rated for TIA at 10 percent with no seizure activity. Please see attached document.

That document is good but I guess VA never received a copy of it-

Have you had any seizures since, that are documented? I feel since a decision had been made  that you should wait for their decision and you could use that document on appeal ,if you have to.

Did you mention this to any C & P examiner ,in the past, regarding the TIAs?

Also Lee, you did not redact the personal names etc on that download. I hope you can redact the personal identifiers to include any numerical references,and your name, etc by covering that info with a index card or something, and then deleting the first download and then scanning and re attaching the medical download.

We have hundreds of guest during the day reading the forums,

I imagine however, that some, from time to time , are not legit veterans and some only read our profiles an never join.

Long ago a widow I was helping here and I, at the same time got hit with a Trojan virus and luckily we both had the same anti virus  program and it was quarantined and deleted.

And a past member had started an email widow/widowers of vets group, and within  weeks, we all got hit with lots of email porn.

That is when she closed the email group and came here.

Greetings 

I haven't received my rating decision letter yet. They could be waiting on a C&P exam for my three remanded claims. I'm scheduled for an examination of my legs and feet next week.  Everything takes time.  I'm still curious about the attached document which a seizure condition was witnessed by ER medical team that may have been overlooked when the BVA granted my TIA claim. Everything bit of evidence is important.

Greetings

I was able to find more medical treatment records pertaining to my seizures in 2012 that may have been overlooked during my C&P and rating decision.  I am still waiting on my ration decision letter before doing anything else at this moment.  Please review attachment and give me your comments.
