    Have Questions? Get Answers.

    Tips on posting on the forums.

    1. Post a clear title like ‘Need help preparing PTSD claim’ or “VA med center won’t schedule my surgery instead of ‘I have a question.
       
    2. Knowledgeable people who don’t have time to read all posts may skip yours if your need isn’t clear in the title.
      I don’t read all posts every login and will gravitate towards those I have more info on.
       
    3. Use paragraphs instead of one massive, rambling introduction or story.
       
      Again – You want to make it easy for others to help. If your question is buried in a monster paragraph, there are fewer who will investigate to dig it out.
     
    Leading too:

    exclamation-point.pngPost straightforward questions and then post background information.
     
     
    Examples:
     
    • Question A. I was previously denied for apnea – Should I refile a claim?
      • Adding Background information in your post will help members understand what information you are looking for so they can assist you in finding it.
    Rephrase the question: I was diagnosed with apnea in service and received a CPAP machine, but the claim was denied in 2008. Should I refile?
     
    • Question B. I may have PTSD- how can I be sure?
      • See how the details below give us a better understanding of what you’re claiming.
    Rephrase the question: I was involved in a traumatic incident on base in 1974 and have had nightmares ever since, but I did not go to mental health while enlisted. How can I get help?
     
    This gives members a starting point to ask clarifying questions like “Can you post the Reasons for Denial of your claim?”

We really need a way to edit our status on the waiting time on a decision. I misunderstood the question and put that I had not received a decision yet when actually I have received three since 1997. One in 2002, one in 2004, one in May of 2007, filed the NOD with a De Nova in May of 2007 with new evidence and more since. Ater filing the NDO with the DeNova I have found that an audio C&P exam on hearing was evidently not considered because the exam showed a sever hearing loss and the hearing loss exam was perform only a few days prior to the rendered denial. In requested all VA medical records from Little Rock and in them was a document of the April 27, 2007 exam summary saying my hearing loss was moderate to severe and could be treated, but I have not received any appointments to treat the hearing loss as of yet in September 13, 2007.

Since the decision I was sent to a VA doctor and was has diagnosed me with PTSD and I have already began treatments with a social worker and soon to see the shrink for medication and still no decision on the NOD with the De Nova.

Also I an iris request the VA regional office informed me that a audio exam was used in their determination that was done on April 30 2007. My exam was the April 27, 2007. I have written followup questioned on the iris to the regional office. They also would not comment on the diagnosis and treatment for PTSD already in progress. Ten years is a long time right to establish PTSD.

Anyone got any answers on the NOD and De Nova, my next move or how to edit my messup on the waiting period counter on hadit.com.

Below is the iris communication less the personal info contained in it.

From ME:

I want to further add to my comment I notived on the iris a number -------------. If that is a number referring to my case it is wrong. My claim number is -----------which also has a number of ----------- and also the audio hearing was in April, but was on April 27, 2007 as the appointment information letter that I faxed to you stated. Did they use the wrong test information? My test that I faxed show a hearing loss that is treatable but I have not received any information or appointment in treating it as to date. Please help me in obtaing if any wrong information or missing information was used to make a determination in May 10th 2007 decision.

Respectfully,

----------------- Me Again:09/13/2007 03:47 PM Thanks your prompt reply. I have sent a fax tody 09/13/07 to

your office with the fax number provided on the iris. A 10 page fax that confirms I did indeed have an audiology exam in May of 07 with a

hearing los that the reveiw board evidently did not receive before making the denial decsion on hearing loss. I also am trying to insure

that the same occurance does not happen in the diagnosis of PTSD from Dr.-------------. These document on the hearing exam were in my C-file that I obtained upon request. I also have requested a report from C&P on Dr. Siegel's diagnosis of PTSD in August 23, 2007. I also will request a report from the Hot Springs Arkansas Clinic for a report on the ongoing treatment of PTSD that began on September with ----------- who is referring me to a metal Dr.________ for medication for PTSD. Please advise me if the fax was received and readable. Thank you for your help. Please

assist me in any way that you can in validating the information needed to prove my entitlement in PTSD, hearing loss and other secondary conditions that sten from those and also exposure to agent orange in my in country duty from August 1968 to August 1969.

Thank you

VA response:

Response (Department of Veterans Affairs)09/13/2007 11:59 AM Our records do not yet reflect that we have the received the results of your most recent C&P examination. It typically takes approximately 30 days from the time the examination is conducted before the results are made available. Rest assured that we will obtain these results before further action is taken on your appeal.

It is further noted that there is no evidence of record which indicates that you had a C&P examination in May 2007. However, we do have the results of your examination which was held on April 30, 2007. This evidence was considered in our Rating Decision dated May 10, 2007.

me again.

My question if is was given on the APRIL 27 2007 AND THERE WAS A HEARING LOSS. Did they use the right test or was it somone elses test???
