HLR for Barrett's and Hiatal Hernia

[Carl the Engineer]

Well,

I waited as long as practical, but I just submitted an online (all of 2 minutes) HLR for my denied Barrett's and Hiatal Hernia of Jun 4, 2021.  I was waiting for my C-File to come to see the exams etc., but it has not arrived yet.

Both were claimed by me as secondary to my medications for HBP, DDD and DJD of spine, etc.  I was denied because the Barrett's and Hiatal Hernia was not related to the conditions of HBP, DDD and DJD of spine, etc., etc.  

I am unsure if "conditions of" is the same or not the same as caused by medications.  And I will express that to the caller when I have my phone meeting.

That and the fact that I do not have access to my exams and evaluations (opinions) from the third pary examiners.

Wish me luck,

Carl

Then if denied, supplemental.  Hopefully I will have the C-File by then.

I have to do a bit of research while I wait for the letter to come.  The rating sheet now has a date for Barrett's as 2009, which would be my very first/original claims, and very strange, shows a date for Hernia as 2012.  Keep in mind, my secondary claims for both are from 2019, so not sure what the hecks going on.

What I do know, and I think, may have a bearing on this is, I was medevaced while in Iraq and sent to Kuwait City Hospital for about a week.  Those records were not available when I made my original '09 claim, but because of a congressional inquiry, they showed up at my house in '11 or '12, and I sent them to the VA at that time.

Maybe my denied gastroenteritis from '09 is what she is looking at?

IDK,

Carl

More work!

Latest,

On MyVA, it says,

"Your Higher Level Review was closed"

This review is now closed.

So, I will call my CVSO tomorrow and see if there is another letter in my file to explain this.

Dosen't look good,

Carl

Too quick!

Next,

"VA identified an error that must be corrected"

So, there is that,

Carl

Moving right along.....

They have been doing the error thing lately. The same thing happened to me. Then afterwards, got a call from LHI for a c&p exam. Decision letter came a month later. Denied. 

In my opinion, there error if for the examiner to write the report to justify the denial. We cannot see the report being that it's done by one of VA contractors.  

The phrase delay, deny until you die is in full affect.

Just got my LHI email today.  Updated my password on their portal, last one expired.  Should be good to go.

As the world turns,
