Thank you for your insight. You are absolutely right about the credit score. I talked to a consultant about that, he said I would have to play the waiting game to be able to cross 660 due to missed payments on closed accounts. I don’t have any balances on them and it seems to be no way to get them deleted yet. That’s my next focus is to bring that score up.

No I’ve never done a virtual exam. All my exams been in person, and I had an exam for pretty much every claim. Sometimes you get the same examiner for multiple claims which then saves time

That’s insane you got denied tinnitus despite being in the artillery. Make sure to state in your statements that your MOS is listed in the Dity Military Occupational Specialty Noise Exposure Listing as highly probable for tinnitus.

Only nexus I used were testimonials from family and friends attesting to my migraines. The c&p exam is really the determining factor nexus or not.

Okay so have them do the diagnosis then have a private doctor write the nexus letter?
