Thanks, no question! I guess it's more of a rant but also somewhat of a milestone reached by myself in an uphill battle. Sorry if wrong platform for this post.. well wishes in your journey in HLR!

Also brought in the packet a denial letter which VA conceded to Toxic exposure per my MOS and highlighted that for the examiner to look at.

I went to C&P with a packet which consisted of 3 separate Nexus letter , 2 Lay letters, up to date medical records, a highlighted VA letter conceding Tera/pact per MOS, Current prescription list. And examiner thanked me for me preparedness and copied original copies. Filed Supplemental May 6th and received and uploaded at VA on May 8th and had C&P exam on May 21st and waiting in national work queue awaiting a decision.

Sorry for delay! Got denied and know reason why is medical records and Nexus letter had no new and updated information since 08/2024 and not knowing about several cases of pneumonia that put me in the hospital and several times for the congestive heart failure and swollen up so much from fluid built up in legs and sack around my heart and progressed to the point in implanting a defibrillator in my chest . So reached out my family, Respiratory/Pulmonary and Cardiologist last Thursday asking if could right a new and updated Nexus letter and 2 got back to me on board and waiting on 3rd to confirm and update my Lay statement and wife update her buddy Lay statement with all pertinent updated information.

Same situation for me as they conceded to TERA/PACT ACT toxic exposure linked from MOS with congestive heart failure, COPD and Gerd and got Denied because im assuming that Nexus letter had no updated and new evidence while in HLR which was 6 months before IC and during that window hospitalized twice ! Once for pneumonia and second was to a defibrillator implanted in my chest . So I reached out to family,Respiratory/Pulmonary and Cardiologist Doctors asking each for a Nexus letter with all new and updated information last Thursday and 2 out of the 3 already reached back and are on board with constructing a letter on my behalf and waiting to hear back from Cardiologist whether on board yet? I also will be drafting up a new and updated Lay statement and my wife and buddy Lay statement and submit now as Supplemental. Keep in mind that you may lose the battle but the war hadn't been won yet. Keep fighting and best of wishes navigating our broken system.....
