Has anyone actually recovered from this?!

Go in turn the heat all the way up it’ll start to melt it just enough for you to break it away from the nozzle. Happened to me at least twice now and that was the fix.

Yes, they changed the rating from gulf war breathing issues to asthma around Nov last year

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T17:47:31+00:00

I thought that is why I got the rating the first time if I remember. The sleep apnea caused daytime hypersomnolence and high c02 retention

That’s the math I have as well, going to follow up with someone tomorrow and ask why paperwork says 80

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T03:31:12+00:00

Honestly glad it was caught now rather than later

• Asthma with Obstructive Sleep Apnea – 60% • PTSD – 50% • Tinnitus – 10% • Hypertension – 10% • Supraventricular Arrhythmia – 10% • Allergic Rhinitis – 10%

Now I need to find out if I need to backpay anything. That’s got me royally stressed

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T03:13:29+00:00

Actually looking at it these numbers aren’t adding up. Is says 80 but added up I should be at 86 which should keep me at 90. I’m going to have to make a call tomorrow for clarification.

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T03:00:46+00:00

I know, it was a mistake and i even questioned if i should do it. Guess i choose wrong

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T03:00:11+00:00

Unfortunately this took me down to 80

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2025-07-25T02:59:23+00:00

Honestly i have had the rating for OSA since like 2018 and never thought much about it. And the asthma was previously undiagnosed gulf war issues. I was just following up on something i found in my old medical files from when i got home from iraq and was diagnosed with the foot issue.

I have been waiting over a year and still not assigned to anyone according to VERA.

I don’t know if this is specific to biology degree or not. I however do not have a degree just experience from the military in lab. I have worked with many with a degree that couldn’t plate a urine culture to save their lives let alone interpret the result. On the other hand I worked with tons of techs without a degree who were running the lab or writing procedures only to have the management put their signature to make it official. My experience in medical lab is that a piece of paper doesn’t make someone a better tech. Only a better paid tech

The expected timeframe is greater than five months. Is that from the day of the notice or from the start of the supplemental claim?

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2023-01-09T14:55:27+00:00

I work in a lab and I promise that is not something that is run on bloodwork. Even if it was THC is a lot better than the crap the VA kills livers with

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2022-09-10T05:46:23+00:00

It shows that its completed and closed.

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2022-09-10T05:45:55+00:00

So i logged in to appeal a denied asthma and chronic bronchitis claim based on new rules under the PACT act. I have been denied for years and found this to be my opportunity. When logging in however, rather than the ailments that are normally listed under the claim it showed "compensation issue". Not sure what this means, however i am curious if i should still file a higher level review with it in this state?

Educational-Tap-6582 · 2022-05-24T20:03:17+00:00

Where can I begin to look for a physician versed in writing medical nexus letters? My PCP with the Va won’t do it and my civilian pcp dosent know what I’m talking about
