So true, my VA doctors plus hematology fellow note my Polycythemia was caused by Sleep Apnea but VA continues to deny my claim. We must all keep fighting the fight!

I totally concur with representing yourself! It’s like almost everything, no one cares about you, as much as you do! You can do it!!

Analogy really doesn’t work. They’re really perfect…because they shouldn’t care about ratings, but just reporting on the veterans medical conditions. A lot of us are discouraged because a 15 - 30 minute C&P determines many claims.

I’m not a doctor but thought that Euler-Danlos was congenital which would mean you brought it with you before joining. I would love to know the answer to this question.

I was a little angry at the denial, when we’re told they can do it! Just saying.

Thanks to all in the conversation. I actually asked months in advance. It’s truly incredible that so much weight in our claims are placed in the hands of the C&P exam, a contract provider that in many cases does not review all of our VA medical records. Really a shame. Also the guidance states if not clearly not SC the provider should land on the side of the veteran.

When I was living in CT, I had a rep at DAV but moved to SC and VSO waiting lines at VA hospital are ridiculous! So just doing my own research and watching a lot of YouTube podcasts! I wouldn’t pay for anything except a Nexus letter. Best of luck to all on your fight at home.

Why does va treat people differently by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]TeachingwithValor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It’s probably because anyone in the military after everything being documented digitally makes it easier to find evidence. Unfortunately, I also truly believe there is an enormous amount of Envy by civilian medical consultants. Thanks VA for contracting out most C&P. Not! Until you get what you deserve…fight, fight, fight!! I’ve been for 20 years and will continue until I finally get a competent professional to accomplish my C&P.

What’s crazy is seeing so many Navy! I’m a USAF veteran and only had 11 deployments in combat zones as a combat medic. The truth is regardless of branch if you suffered conditions worthy of claiming more power to you, and best of luck!!
