In service malady, not chronic, later chronic.

Rate this question

Question

What is the proper remedy for this example.

1. Veteran has malady in service, treated, recovers, 2003.

2. Veteran claims malady within 1 year after service, denied, not chronic, 2008.

3. Veteran is diagnosed with malady by the VA, given medication twice daily, chronic, 2019.

In my example, the malady is GERD or esophagitits, but it could be a different malady.

Your prefered course of action?

Carl

Baby steps, first thing is to file a claim for GERD/ACID REFLUX/STOMACH PAIN and go from there, you know the deal if the claim is denied then file an appeal and if the claim is granted, if you have enough post service evidence, then file an appeal for a better effective date or rating percentage.

My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.

Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up.

I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

Also, consider if the Gerd is seconday to a service connected condition. Usually, medications for service connected conditions will cause gerd.

                                                                                I am not a lawyer so take my opinions with a grain of salt...

If I had listened to the nay sayers, I would never have acheived any ratings after I was awarded TDIU in 1999. Now I have not one but two 100% ratings, a TDIU  and 4 SMC awards !  I say JUST GO For It
