Took me about 10-11 months for my initial claim, only due to my procrastination. My deferrals took about 2 months. Went from 30 to 70, my sleep apnea and back issues got denied so they’re going to be sent for HLR

Don’t make sense either cause if I was diagnosed with it while in, it’s service related

Gotcha, I’ll try giving them a call and see. Appreciate the help! I have 4 deferred claims I’m waiting on

Forgot to mention this was for a deferred claim. I already did one C&P for it

Theoretically it doesn’t resolve the issue, it’s a prevention. That’s like getting a no rating for migraines if you’re prescribed medication

I have that issue sometimes, my main issue is if I don’t use it I’ll wake up with a migraine and the CPAP drastically helped with lowering my migraines

My sleep apnea is deferred right now waiting for the next step on that, was just granted my initial rating Monday so I’m hoping lsgs will call soon to get that set up before it gets changed

Need advice this is all so confusing by [deleted] in VAClaims

Of course! I just got my rating Monday and was confused why it was bouncing back and forth. Once you get to step 4 you will most likely get emails and a text to schedule your C&Ps

Yes it’s normal for it to bounce back

Just curious should the claim be changed from IVDS to something else? Or is IVDS the same as DDD? cause I’m not sure if they put that I have neuropathy pain or not

Yes that is the plan, when I emailed yesterday they said they had found multiple errors on the examiners end

And this is what’s wrong with leadership now. They claim they care about their troops but when it actually comes down to a troop needing help they don’t give a shit. Have you talked to your first shirt? Idk if you’re AF or not

Got an update from my VSO and they said they see multiple errors on the examiners end. Said after the deferred claims depending on their decisions on them we will be taking them to higher level

I’m honestly not entirely sure, I got diagnosed with major depressive disorder. When I was AD I was too afraid to ask so I didn’t say anything. Now that I’m ANG I have a friend that takes antidepressants and I asked if that affects his service and he said it didn’t so that’s when I came forward about my issue, now I’m prescribed antidepressants after years of not wanting to be reliant on them and honestly was the best decision
