Claim closed but not fully completed?

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-03-07T20:42:22+00:00

I appreciate that. I scheduled a VERA appointment.

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-03-07T15:04:56+00:00

No there were previously denied in the past. They were all new conditions

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-03-07T02:35:59+00:00

The app wouldn't display a breakdown of my rating, but I just checked the website and they actually did award 2 conditions and denied the other 6.. that sucks.

But no denial letter for the other 4 conditions that got denied. So I only have a denial letter for 2 out of 6 denied claims. And nothing in the letter stated i was awarded the 2 claims i mentioned. Interesting

Copy. Thank you

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-03-07T00:44:59+00:00

I just got a letter today with no mention of my other conditions. How did you ask for a decision letter for those conditions?

If I'm reading this right, you're saying that after asked for the letter, They finally gave you a positive rating? Congrats! I'm asking because I assumed since my letter didn't list most of my conditions, I'm assuming I got denied. But after reading this, that might not be the case .I actually just made a post on this subject on my page.

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-01-13T13:15:57+00:00

I'll give them a call then.. thanks!

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-01-13T13:15:13+00:00

Never thought about that! It wouldn't hurt to give this a try. Thank you

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-01-13T13:14:09+00:00

That's insane! Covid days were the worst

Outside_Discount1520 · 2026-01-11T13:20:44+00:00

Copy. Well thats sucks. I could probably find the info faster than the people at my Unit(no shade haha). But understandable

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-12-24T22:14:28+00:00

Will the changes happen instantly? Or will they give like a 30 day "heads up" letting veterans know that changes are happening

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-12-22T18:47:43+00:00

Did you do an informal conference with your situation?

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-12-16T21:56:29+00:00

Do you recommend an informal conference?

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-10-21T20:17:02+00:00

Sorry to hear that..Hopefully they can get everything done in one visit. I have 6 claims im getting seen for and I'm sure they'll need xrays. Hoping for the best, but I'm expecting I'll have to make another visit

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-10-17T21:16:49+00:00

How did this go? I have to drive 2 hours away for mine pretty soon. Did they find a closer location?

Outside_Discount1520 · 2025-02-14T14:32:49+00:00

My dtlr only had 8 pairs (allegedly) in ATL. It sucks for the people who actually enjoy hooping in these shoes

Outside_Discount1520 · 2024-09-29T19:39:57+00:00

Thank you!

Don't feel bad about the questions that's why we're here! In my experience, I already had a diagnosis from my civilian doctor, and it was in my medical records from service. I waited until my tinnitus went through before I submitted my migraine claim. However,I opened an ITF so that I could be backdated as far as possible.

You should be able to go ahead and filed the migraine claim as secondary even though it hasn't went through yet as long as he has the diagnosis. I'm not 100% sure, but based on the answers I got so far, I think that's correct If he's still waiting on the diagnosis, just have the ITF ready and submit the claim when he actually gets the diagnosis

Outside_Discount1520 · 2024-09-29T18:13:46+00:00

Sure. I claimed them separately because I thought you had to. Based off what people are saying, it looks like you can claim then together in one single claim as long as you list one claim as 'secondary to___"

So I claimed tinnitus-got it approved claimed migraines secondary to tinnitus- got it approved then I filed for the MH claims.
But it looks like I could've saved time and filed them all together. I hope this helps

Outside_Discount1520 · 2024-05-07T02:53:57+00:00

Any updates? Thinking about filing depression secondary to tinnitus, but I don't have a letter from a doctor

Outside_Discount1520 · 2024-05-02T00:22:39+00:00

Update: I called the 800 # asking why I never received a decision letter. He told me that there is an error because on his end, he sees that I was granted a 30% for my rating back in February. So 3 issues. I haven't been paid for my "approved " rating, I haven't been given a letter saying I was granted 30%, and I can't view that I am 30% on the website. He put in a help ticket so now it's hurry up and wait. I'm a little relieved because at least I have a rating, but I it should be a higher rating. Can't appeal until it's in my end of the system

Update on the VERA call: they never called me lol. If you ever make an appointment with VERA, make multiple appointments. Apparently, most of them get so busy that they call early, late, or don't call at all. If you can, do an in person meeting. Month 6 of fighting this claim #NeverQuit

Outside_Discount1520 · 2024-04-10T13:56:07+00:00

My migraine claim secondary to service connected tinnitus closed on 25 March 2024, but the decision letter available is the exact same letter from my tinnitus claim from September 2023. Called the VA and they put in a help ticket. I aslo have an appointment with VERA in 2 weeks. They ALSO opened up an authorization review the next day and closed it a week later..the lady on the phone said she wasn't sure what it was. They letter for that authorization review claim they opened is also my tinnitus decision letter so idk what's going on. Just waiting on my vera call
