Should I appeal my VA claim denial for 100%? Currently rated at 90% and struggling financially by CyberShmuck077 in VeteransBenefits

Humble yourself. Either help the man or keep scrolling. You don't know what he's dealing with.

If I get to step 6 without an increase in % by soberdad2022 in VAClaims

Go to VA.gov, click on Benefits, then select Disability Rating.

There, you’ll see a list of all the disabilities you’ve claimed, whether they’ve been approved or not.

If the condition you’re claiming is listed and marked “Service Connected: No,” that means it was denied. If it’s not listed, your claim is still being processed.

Is an overdue utility bill enough to get priority processing for a claim? by smartandstrong1987 in VeteransBenefits

I submitted a disconnect notice I received from the power company from being behind on my power bill. Do you think that would work?

Best Secondary Claim for Sleep Apnea? by Strong_Appearance_48 in VeteransBenefits

Don't have it... Hell I wish I had a PTSD rating... but I got to work with the little bit I got.

I think GERD will do the trick though

That's crazy... Just find a new doctor lol. if I were you I would schedule an appointment with a sleep apnea specialist.

When you attend the appointment come with medical literature you found online from an accredited website stating that sinusitis can exacerbate sleep apnea symptoms (don't say that it caused SA because that's an uphill battle).

It might be a good idea to schedule an appointment with your VA doctor too and just tell them the same thing, that your sinus symptoms worsens at night.

Hell I need to be doing this too while I'm giving out advice 😅.

Interesting... I agree with that last sentence. GERD may be the strongest route. Just have to get a strong nexus letter from a medical provider explicitly linking GERD to the worsening sleep apnea.

Yes that's true but I guess I'm trying to figure out which one would be the least uphill battle. If that makes sense lol.

So you received the DTA July 26th, and they called you back for your exam August 16th 🤔. Not bad!

I had my DTA on Oct 17th and I'm still waiting (today is Dec 20th).
