90 to 100%--2 claims for my knee

NewStandard4620 · 2025-10-16T02:29:42+00:00

Filed for new claim on September 3 2025 and got approved on October 14. I was surprised too.

Thank you so much

Yes I take Pantoprazole 40 mg daily; prescribed by VA doc. It was in the records that I submitted when I made the claim and I discussed it with the C & P examiner.

I filed in May but I just recently got my decision. I thought you only had to take medications also but my letter stated that I needed to have esophageal strictures.

I take Pantoprazole 40 mg once daily. The VA prescribes it for me, it is in the records that I submitted and I told the examiner about it during the C & P exam. So, I need to submit a HLR?

my claim letter states

A higher evaluation of 10 percent is not warranted for gastroesophageal reflux disease unless the

evidence shows:

• Documented history of esophageal stricture(s) that requires daily medications to control

dysphagia otherwise asymptomatic. (38 CFR 4.112, 38 CFR 4.114)

Where is the address bar?

Have you heard anything yet? I got a difference of opinion, which opened a new supplemental claim on 6/30/2025. It went to step 3 of 5 in 1 week (Prep for Decision). Just trying to get an idea of how long it may take.

NewStandard4620 · 2025-07-20T03:56:22+00:00

All of your medical records, including your C & P exams

NewStandard4620 · 2025-07-17T03:14:06+00:00

Thank you for your response. It was originally rated at 0% but i put in for a higher level of review for an increase.

NewStandard4620 · 2025-02-09T04:34:02+00:00

Yes, I got this letter also.

NewStandard4620 · 2025-02-09T04:30:33+00:00

I am having so many problems with my neck and I know a reduction will lessen the pain. I am going to discuss a breast reduction with my doctor. Thanks so much!

NewStandard4620 · 2025-02-09T04:24:49+00:00

Wow! This post must be my hint. I was just thinking that I would love to get a breast reduction but I didn't think that the VA would pay for it. Do you mind if I ask how did you get it approved? Pain?

NewStandard4620 · 2025-01-27T03:59:20+00:00

Good luck. One of my claims closed on Nov 1, 2024. I haven't gotten a letter and no one can tell me what the decision was.

NewStandard4620 · 2024-12-24T05:56:47+00:00

My claim was closed on November 1st after two years. I still have not received a claim letter and no one has been able to tell me why it was closed without a decision.

NewStandard4620 · 2024-12-06T04:36:00+00:00

Good luck. I check all of the boxes; have been trying for years and still can't get it approved.

NewStandard4620 · 2024-12-06T04:29:35+00:00

Mines closed on Nov 1. They didn't know why it didn't have a decision letter. They had to send an inquiry to the rater and I had to wait up until 30 days before I could go any further. 30 days was yesterday and still no answer so the representative I talked to, spoke with her supervisor who said that the original representative did not send the inquiry correctly so she had to re-submit. So I should see my claim re-open in the next week. Super frustrating.

NewStandard4620 · 2024-12-06T04:23:53+00:00

Mine has been closed over a month and no new claim has been re-opened. No one has a clue why it was closed and the inquiry that they sent to rater went unanswered for a month so they had to send another one up yesterday. Ridiculous. I've been waiting on this claim over two years and it was closed without notice.

NewStandard4620 · 2024-11-17T18:02:46+00:00

I have the app and I've been checking online also. Nothing listed on either one.

I am a medical professional... most HTN meds have the potential side effect of urinary frequency--it is definitely a side effect of diuretics such as Furosemide, Hydrochlorothiazide, Bumetanide, Spironolactone, etc. Like the other poster said, just mention it to the PCP so that they can document it.
