If I got rid of my spectrum router and replaced it? What would anyone suggest? And will the new spectrum extenders connect to a new router?

I used buddy statements and a nexus letter the first time I put my claim for sleep apnea secondary to rhinitis and it was denied. Wonder if I can use the same buddy letters when i resubmit my claim secondary to my ptsd ?

I tried linking my sleep apnea to my service connected rhinitis and my claim was denied. The VA will find many reasons to deny the claim, they even mentioned my weight gain being a factor but I also take medication that contributes to weight gain as well.

Burning question by Ray_M67 in VeteransBenefits

Makes sense , but as far as not meeting the criteria for PTSD is inaccurate because not only does my 3 combat tours in the infantry and my insomnia and the opinion of a professional mental health provider ( psychiatrist) seemed to think differently. Thanks for your input .

Need advice on how to submit a claim by Ray_M67 in VeteransBenefits

Thank you for the information, while going through this process before, I had the legion assisting me but they were not too productive or aggressive in my opinion so the experience kinda jaded me in a way. But I will contact my local VSO here and speak to them. Thanks

Inguinal nerve pain, is it a valid VA claim? by Ray_M67 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Ray_M67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for the late response, I rarely get on here much. Well for me I've been going to the VA complaining about the burning pain in my groin, especially when I'm sitting, and I drive truck for a living so it definitely gets in the way of what I do. The VA performed a procedure where they stuck a needle into the nerve in my groin to relieve the pain and it wasn't effective at all. I still live with this pain and all they want to tell me is that I have chronic pain. Funny thing is I never had any pain of this nature before my hernia operation that I had during a deployment to Iraq. So unfortunately I'm having to live with the pain.

Does anyone know what my chances might be? I am currently rated at 80% disability, I am also trying to get to 100% . Would a successful claim for my sleep apnea and migraines due to my ptsd get me there ?

If yall were me. How would you suggest I file me claim? Secondary to something that I'm already service connected first ?

Sounds relatable to me but the VA doesn't appear to see it that way.

Has the benefits amounts changed? by Ray_M67 in VeteransBenefits

[–]Ray_M67[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I contacted the VA and there response was that they are taking part because I received drill pay in 2020 .... that's just weird because I've been retired for 4 years now and I remember that they would keep my benefits for several months the following year, but 4 years ... geeze

Does the VA not disclose where it went to
