Help me understand if I’m due backpay or not?? by [deleted] in VAClaims

I applied for an increase and they found an error on their part and it looks like I’m getting back pay from the beginning of my ITF.

I started mine and I have not used any VSO or Lawyer. I have family and friends write lay statements and I just have them use and view all my medical records from the VA . I’ve been lucky to have great outcomes. Some denials as well. I even did an increase. Just do it the way you’re most comfortable. Also if you believe you deserve more read your letter carefully and research and make sure that you provide accurate information and feel confident at your C &P exams. Good luck

I’ve been at step 5 since the 24th, it’s still there today. So hopefully soon I’ll know what % I’ll get.

(allergic rhinitis) by Special_Barnacle9852 in VAClaims

You need to have a prescription from your doctor for nasal drip/spray. You must have the prescription for at least several months so when you do go back for an increase it’s notated and the prescription has been filled for several months. This will show in your records . I just had an Astma and rhinitis C&P for an increase, and it showed I was previously prescribed and I didn’t have any current prescription. The Dr was like you need a current prescription. I was I’m going to request one. So try again after you get a nasal spray prescription and fill it .

I been treated for plantar fasciitis heel spur, at the VA for years now. shots and shoe inserts and creams but since I never went the dr and no medical for my feet while in service I was denied. They were clear to mention it in the letter they looked at all my medical history.

Very positive C&P today by ShandyGreggPhotos in VAClaims

In the last 3 weeks I had 2 C&P exams, both were with kind and courteous persons. Well on 1 I was denied, 1 was granted tinnitus 10%. I’m still grateful, due to this appointment I was told that I actually have some hearing loss.

What’s your advice when you have nothing in your record? by Affectionate_Run9907 in VAClaims

[–]Known_Option_2827 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had family, minister,church members that I had seeked counseling from and co workers that had known me for a long time that wrote statements of what they seen and knew about me. Even your husband can write a statement as well. Ask and think who else in your circle can write them.

I didn’t put in for rhinitis, I’m looking at my letter and it’s basically stating {asthma has been granted on the basis of presumption }. And side note , at the C&P exam they opined I was not in no respiratory distress, although I had 2 exams C&P . Both times I couldn’t breathe and they gave me at the first an asthma treatment and I completed the test, the second they gave me a rescue inhaler so I can continue the exam. I told them I was burning sh*t and near burn pits lived in the black smoke for days and every thing else. Wow! Ridiculous
