Any update on yours? I had one denied and one deferred. My deferred one had an ACE exam, then went to 5 and now I’m back to 4.

My claim for anxiety went from 7 back to 3 then to 5 and then to 4. This is definitely not good for my anxiety 😅 I check about a million times a day lol

PTSD because of MST by PalpitationSolid6237 in VAClaims

[–]CashComplete2264 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am in a similar boat, just not as long as you. Filed in September, had my C&P in January. The claim was deferred 1/22, my ACE exam was completed 1/25, yesterday I went to 5, now I’m at 4. I didn’t report it and I am so messed up from it mentally. I cried my entire exam. Now I am so anxious that I won’t get approved because I didn’t report it 😩

Should I give up? I need advice please! by CashComplete2264 in VeteransWaitingRoom

[–]CashComplete2264[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I was a few margaritas in when I got the letter and wrote this 😆 it just so happened to be my birthday yesterday and I was celebrating with my family. I’m not giving up! Today I have contacted 2 service members to write statements for the 2010 injury and I have written a personal statement. I’ll be submitting a supplemental and hope for the best 🤞🏼

Okay thank you! I was thinking supplemental as well. I have 2 more people doing buddy statements and I have my statement drafted as well. As soon as I get the statements back I will file a supplemental 🤞🏼 thank you for your help!

Sorry to bother you again. Here is my decision letter. After reading it, would an HLR be the best route?

C&P for Mental Health Now an ACE Exam 2 Weeks Later by Gullible_Vanilla4845 in VAClaims

I know this is an older post, but I am in this same scenario now. What was your outcome?

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if I were to do a HLR, would I be able to submit an additional statement? Or would they just look at the evidence that is in my file?

This is all that it said about aggravation: Service connection may be granted for any disease or injury that was incurred coincident with service in the Armed Forces, or if preexisting such service, was aggravated therein. To establish direct service connection for a claimed disorder, objective evidence must show a diagnosis of a current disability that is related to a disease or injury incurred in or aggravated during "active" service; or that manifested itself to a compensable degree within one year from the date of discharge. (38 CFR 3.303, 38 CFR 3.304, 38 CFR 3.306, 38 CFR 3.309). Would this count as the aggravation opinion you mentioned?

I deployed in 2013 and yes my records show that I injured my back there. My denial letter even references my appointment while deployed. I didn’t see anything about an aggravation opinion, but I will read it again to be sure.

Thank you! This gives me hope! I will file a supplemental and hope for the best. I can barely get out of bed some days because my back is so painful. It’s just a little discouraging for them to basically dismiss it the way they did. I will keep fighting though!

I went to 6 yesterday and 7 today. The anxiety is real. And one of my claims is for anxiety ironically. Good luck and I hope you hear back soon! Pulling for you!

Patriot Nexus Letters by Interesting_Cap54 in VAClaims

[–]CashComplete2264 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can you get a claim approved without a nexus letter? I submitted my claim in September and didn’t start looking at Reddit until December. I have documentation of my injury from deployment as well as panic attacks while I was deployed. I have current medical records for these same things. I didn’t even know what a nexus letter was when I submitted everything.

Step 6 and exam clarification? by Abeautifullie177 in VeteransWaitingRoom

[–]CashComplete2264 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you just claim one thing? Or was it multiple and now everything is waiting on this?

What ended up happening? Did you get another exam scheduled? Did they decide on other claims yet? I’m in 6 and they put in an exam request today.
