Are there any PDHRA vets here? question for you

Rate this question

Question

PDHRA Post Deployment  Health Re Assessment .

If so was the MEDPRO PDHRA used as evidence for your claim?

If so did it help determine your EED?

Do you know what happens after this exam is done- meaning does it go into your SMRs or  Military Personnel file after your discharge?

 

Thanks for any reply-  Obviously I am  asking in regard to Blahsaysme2U's issue here.

I found some BVA cases with PDHRA in them-

THANKS!!!!!!!!  Because it seems like our member Blahsaysme2U got one after his discharge but still within one year after his discharged for a condition diagnosed in 2008.

Sorry for doubles-----weather

I see that sometimes. The DPRIS we get automatically, I never assume its complete. If I come across a vet that im working on within a year out I re-run a DPRIS request on them. They are pretty quick, and sometimes they are duplicates of what we already have.....but sometimes they are not.

 

So.....request twice, cut one. 🙂

Ideally, yes. We/the raters are supposed to look at everything. If it isn't included in your evidence list you can use that to base a supplemental claim as 'new and relevant'.

It was used to deny my claim for tinnitus in 2008. I explained, and sent in a buddy letter to back up the fact, that the medical officer in 2003 made it abundantly clear that that form was only to be answered regarding injuries or conditions that were suffered while in country. Being that my MOS was artillery, but that's not what I did while overseas, I checked the "no" box for tinnitus. Thus, the VA referenced that fact when they denied my claim. However, after a DRO review and supplying my statements, it was quickly granted.

Funny that form doesn't appear anywhere in my STRs or my medical records but the VA has a copy of it...
