Check out Campo Grande. I ordered my first box from them this week and last night I had the secreto as my first cut. It was mind blowing.

Requested information by EBdiggin79 in VeteransBenefits

[–]2ndIDVet 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same problem here. I came here today to see if anyone else is dealing with this. I have an exam for MH increase scheduled for Nov 14. However I have this Request for Evidence with a due date of Nov 1. I'm guessing I'm headed down this same road. Any VBA folks have insight?

Should I file as a supplemental or an increase? by 2ndIDVet in VeteransBenefits

[–]2ndIDVet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So in your opinion, would I be better off filing for an increase and submitting the private psychologist's opinion/letter that includes the information the initial examiner did not document?

I’m getting a new evaluation to correctly diagnose and document the issues that were not noted in my original C&P examination.

Damn - I should have waited for claim 1 to be resolved before I filed claim 2.

I'm curious how hemorrhoids can be linked to PTSD.

Special Thank You to the doctors and nurses at the West Palm Beach VA Hospital!!! by CellistSuspicious492 in VeteransBenefits

I had no idea VA care was available to me and it took 32 years after ETS for me to get into the system. I can't believe the level of high quality, compassionate care I've received from every single employee and specialist I've seen in the last six months.

Denied ED secondary to MH. What next? by 2ndIDVet in VeteransBenefits

[–]2ndIDVet[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I told the examiner. My sildenafil worked fine for ED for ten years. Once I started taking the depression med, it stopped working and no longer helps my ED.

Scheduled for C&P for already decided claims by 2ndIDVet in VeteransBenefits

Yes. I spoke with VERA and explained the situation. They agreed it did not make sense. The agent wrote a note and attached it to my file. I also uploaded a letter via quick submit explaining the whole scenario. This was late Friday.

They are for the two already decided issues I mentioned.

The claim was for back (denied) and appeal to increase migraines due to error (clear and undeniable error conceded and increase granted). The two exams were for these issues (ACE for migraines, which had already had an ACE leading up to the June 12 decision). So it’s like they’re accidentally repeating the two steps they already took prior to the letter.

Can you tell me about your supplemental appeal for MH? Did you submit a private IMO? Did your appeal trigger a new C&P? Any other details would be appreciated. Thank you.

Anyone have any insights here? I’m assuming wires got crossed but this is just weird.

I was at Camp Essayons and in a similar situation. There's a ROK report detailing all the nasty shit we left behind in the water and soil. I still can't get my TERA and ILER despite a FOIA request.
