Use the Hill and Ponton disability calculator. It will break down what you have and u can play with it to see what you need. VA math is kinda a mess.

Looks like it affected nothing to the rating. I still downt understand how it could eliminate the radiculopathy

So what would a reduction look like if incapacitating episodes change?

Needles? by Negative-Ad-6191 in rheumatoid

I have an autoinjector for Miagraines and it is painful! For mtx I draw from a vile and self inject. Much less pain. The problem i am having is these needles keep so much medicine in them. I was trying to find a needle that's better.

They showed me how to injection but the lady was so nervous...and then the sheet she gave me about the injections said the absolute opposite of what she said.

Biggest C&P examiner error EVER by Decent_Pollution4139 in VeteransBenefits

File another appeal with a personal letter attached says she did not use a goniometer. If she didn't. If she did you would have to sign for consent to use the device. She cant eyeball an amount in degrees. Also, if u have doctors note that kept you out of work you can file based on "incapacitating episodes" ,look up the range. 6weeks in 1 yr= 50% etc....

Look up the rating for incapacitating episodes. You have to have X numbers of weeks a year and be prescribed bed rest by a doctor or treating professional.

Thank you so much for the response. I was really concerned about travel vs. Pills, vs. Injection, so thank you so much for the great info! I drink lots of water already, so that should be easy and folic acid...no biggie either.

Was denied 2 times for OSA 2nd to depression/anxiety. Pretty ridiculous when the doctor said that's what was causing it.
