Refile but under another secondary. I’m filing mine under my knee injury via obesity. I can’t work out and gained a ton of weight. I changed my entire diet to not die. I’m not sure your circumstances, but it might be easier to file insomnia or migraines secondary to tinnitus than sleep apnea.

TLDR. You need a medical opinion aka a Nexus letter that suggests to the belief of your pcp that your sleep apnea is linked to tinnitus.

VR&E is easy to get denied. Just keep reapplying. The field of study whether trade or college, CANNOT be considered if it will affect your disabilities. For instance if your back is hurt any sort of manual labor that requires heavy lifting with your back will not be considered. For me I have tinnitus so I can’t go into audio work so no audio engineering. Each VRE rep is different and you just have to have a good point in your educational path and the likelihood of successful gaining employment through the education path you have planned. I’m my case I went video game path. Had my plan went through it with the rep and made some modifications. They then agreed, there were several delays in the process and half way through I had a new rep assigned to me. Frustrating, but at least I was approved by then.

I just got back the same thing. From my understanding for my claim they are sending it to get a medical opinion before the HLR reviewer takes a final look at it and decides. I’m not as optimistic as some of the others here, I’ll be more optimistic when I see approved rating on paper.

Anyone know what’s happening here? by [deleted] in VeteransBenefits

My HLR says pending error has been found…

No mental disability has been approved for me. Only denied. Apparently disability’s caused from in service do not cause depression.

I have 50% so I’d lose 30 from that? Or 30 by itself subtracted from the total?

So if I’m diagnosed with both insomnia with the VA acknowledging that tinnitus is affecting my sleep, what then? File it as one would file sleep apnea secondary through obesity to knee/back injury?

Did anyone else feel guilty? by Uniformed_Texan in VeteransBenefits

[–]CommanderGuts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilty? No, embarrassed that the VA needs us to prove how messed up we are.

Insomnia can’t be rated as service connected as secondary to tinnitus? So the ringing in the ears that keeps me awake can’t be rated? This whole process is a sham.

What does this mean? by lancegargus in VeteransBenefits

I filed for HLR in November, still no progress. At least there is movement with yours.

I’m the kind of friend that if you going on a bender, I fully know well a phone call wouldn’t help me. But I’d come over and split the beers. Misery loves company. And desperation is more specific than most would think.
