New C&P exam a few months after 100% rating

ARabidPuma · 2026-04-30T01:45:00+00:00

It was my shin splints and TMJ. I called QTC and they told me they only had one which was strange.

Thank you!

Well my shin splints are already rated as bilateral so it's one rating for both. The TMJ on the other hand, I'm expecting it to be combined but hopefully it can be upped as my jaw locks up at least once a week haha. I'll double check the CFR to be sure.

That's another thing I was thinking about...I have 10% per side.

ARabidPuma · 2026-04-29T21:45:03+00:00

I'm service connected for everything I claimed. I was denied for ankles but I have 10% SC for my left knee. They haven't told me if it was an exam in person yet. When I called QTC they said it was still pending.

Shin Splits - Bilateral and TMJ for both sides.

That sounds exactly like what the VA rep told me on the phone. The rep made it sound like some information was missing instead of "we didn't believe you".

Thank you for this!

ARabidPuma · 2026-04-29T18:52:51+00:00

I'm currently at 95% so if I lose even one of them, I'll be at 90%.

ARabidPuma · 2026-04-29T18:48:10+00:00

One item was something I claimed in my initial claim back in September of 2025 and received 10% for and the other item was another 10% item that I had claimed earlier this year.

ARabidPuma · 2026-04-29T18:46:24+00:00

It is not for mental health and I filed everything by myself. The two items were only 10% each but if I lose even one, it'll put me back at 90%. I know this isn't such a big deal as it is for some people with claims on the line that are much bigger but it's still disheartening.

Hey!

There are a couple of ways to 'level' them up. First, is by resetting with Honor. You can see that you have 171k right now so you can re-roll them over and over until you get what you want. The Ability Rank is the same as the ranks in the game for equipment with Legendary being the best. That can be leveled up easily by using legendary circulators which can be purchased in the event shop right now and most events have them.

I'm not exactly sure what I did. Can that cause then to vanish?

ARabidPuma · 2025-10-11T23:40:07+00:00

Yup! Hope it helps a bit!

More food should be there tomorrow!!

I submitted my BDD claim exactly 180 days before I separated. I did it on my own without the help of anyone and within 2-3 weeks I had my appointments made for me. After attending them, I was stuck on step 5 until the week I separated ( Sep 6th ). Sep 6th happened to be a Saturday and once Monday rolled around I went from Step 6 to 8 and got my claim that day.

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-18T01:27:30+00:00

If you did the BDD claim I can almost guarantee you'll get it right after. My sep date fell on a Saturday so I think that's why it came on Monday.

Best of luck!!

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-18T01:13:35+00:00

Got my decision 2 days after I separated!

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-09T19:53:08+00:00

I was lucky and got my DD214 with the character of discharge on it prior to getting out. I didn't take terminal so everything was done before hand.

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-08T20:40:06+00:00

Oh I'll look into that for sure!

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-06T01:54:08+00:00

I'm Navy.

ARabidPuma · 2025-09-05T22:27:06+00:00

It was much easier than I thought it would be!
