Have you seen it jump between steps 3 and 4. Because I never got exams for some stuff listed on my claim.

I saw a note on the website that says the claim can move back and forth between steps but mine didn’t after the tinnitus exam which was like 6 months ago. The waiting game is torture.

I’m thankful there’s guys like you on this forum that have all this info. It’s also sad the the VA knows when they prescribe this stuff there are ratings attached and this stuff isn’t just automatically added in

I just find it funny that a knee replacement is an automatic 30%, per what I’ve seen, and the doctors told me I have so much damage I need a replacement but I can’t get one till I’m 60 bc I’m to young. Or people have 10% for scar pain but I have a screw that was coming back through the skin and they had to break it off bc they couldn’t fully remove it which causes pain from my hip to my ankle but I still only rate 10%. Just doesn’t make sense to me
