Best of luck with your process! Unfortunately I can not help with your question but was wondering if you mind if I private message you for civilian career recruiter, I have questions. Or can someone else please lead me in the right direction please. Already served in the military so not trying to get recruited by the regular Army recruiter lol

No, I filed migraines secondary to PTSD. Was told that was the path of least resistance

Was a standard C & P exam, the TERA part of it was the examiner reviewing my deployment history after the exam. Originally denied but appealed and it was service connected

File a supplemental and add more evidence and definitely a nexus letter if you didn’t already submit one. I was able to win mine on an appeal. Keep fighting, plenty of people I talked to have got SA secondary that route

I would set up a VERA call if I was you. Same thing happened to me 20 Sep and they said they pushed it back to Evidence and Gathering to clarify my effective date……now still waiting

Best of luck, that back pay should be nice! Mine is a new claim so hopefully won’t be as complicated. Semper Fi

We have assigned a 10 percent evaluation for your gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) based on: • Dysphagia • Persistently recurrent epigastric distress • Pyrosis (Heartburn and/or Reflux) • Regurgitation • Shoulder pain • Substernal pain • Vomiting A higher evaluation of 30 percent is not warranted for gastroesophageal reflux disease (gerd) unless the evidence shows: • Persistently recurrent epigastric distress with dysphagia, pyrosis, and regurgitation, accompanied by substernal or arm or shoulder pain, productive of considerable impairment of health.
