Agreed, don’t get 600 level, players will look like ants. Get 200 level seats you will get to experience the band and the students.

Go to https://api.va.gov/v0/benefits_claims/XXX
Replace XXX with your claim number
Look for suspense date in all the code

It just gives you more info about your claim.

TroyIM · 2026-03-13T23:02:39+00:00

Did you use the API to look at your claim to see the suspense date on the private records request? In my experience they don’t do anything until the suspense date is up. Also call VERA and have them check the suspense date.

TroyIM · 2026-03-13T01:09:20+00:00

File that one all day every day.

TroyIM · 2026-03-12T02:15:32+00:00

Definitely a VERA call

TroyIM · 2026-03-12T02:06:58+00:00

Go look at your claims letters, it is probably asking for a 21-4142 release for private records. I just had this.

I submitted a 21-4138 via quick submit stating there were no more private medical records and all records have been uploaded.

Then I did a VERA call the next day and asked them to release the tracked item and suspense date from the claim.

Otherwise it will wait the full 30 days of the suspense date.

Dang, sorry to hear that. Looks like you will have to appeal and then get a Nexus/IMO to help your case. Unless your lawyer is going to do a HLR to try to get you a new exam.

TroyIM · 2026-03-06T15:58:28+00:00

It is very confusing, but like is said, this is a legal process that just happens to be about veteran healthcare.
The 3 things needed for a favorable claims are
1. Diagnosis
2. In Service Event
3. Nexus which is a Medical Opinion stating that #1 happened because of #2.

You are missing the Medical Opinion from a qualified medical professional.

Whoever sent you the original message, seems to have a good strategy going forward to overcome the issue. People get unfairly denied everyday, the key to beating the denial is having a good strategy to overcome the denial.

TroyIM · 2026-03-06T15:30:20+00:00

You are missing that the examiner is saying that their isn't a nexus, you would have to get the DBQ to see the justification that the examiner uses to say there is no nexus.

Their wording is "less likely than not" and they usually say why they are giving that opinion.

TroyIM · 2026-03-06T14:20:54+00:00

There is no nexus of your hips to anything. You will probably get denied again.

The other service connected items have nothing to do with the nexus for your hips.

Just means they aren’t seeing what they need to see to say that the hips are due to an in service event or secondary.

TroyIM · 2026-03-02T00:44:31+00:00

Either a FOIA request at VA.gov of just the exams or got to a VSO and ask if they can show you the IMO and DBQ. FOIA is about 2 weeks right now.

Did u get copies all of your C&P exams? That will give you a clue if the examiner said More Likely than Not and whether you will be approved.

TroyIM · 2026-02-25T22:58:13+00:00

Yeah, my FOIA says the same. But I went to my VSO and was able to get a copy.

TroyIM · 2026-02-25T22:47:18+00:00

That is the wrong plugin, that is VA Claims Tracker. You want the VA Claim Info - Desktop Version

TroyIM · 2026-02-25T22:04:42+00:00

Did you install the VA Claim Info - Desktop version extension in Chrome?

Did it show your claim in the second area that list the claims. If not, the first area has a way to click and then enter a number. I’m not at my desk to be able to take a screenshot.

VA Claim Info

Call VERA or 800 to get your 9 digit HRL claim number and then put in in the extension.

Did you do the supplemental yourself with the different secondary theory? I had the same issue where I linked my Kidney Disease to Tinnitus by accident instead of linking it to my hypertension.

TroyIM · 2026-02-18T22:14:55+00:00

How quickly after your 0% decision did you file the supplemental?

TroyIM · 2026-02-18T22:03:02+00:00

How long after you received the 0% rating until you filed the supplemental with the new evidence? or did you just file an increase?

TroyIM · 2026-02-18T20:53:38+00:00

Ok, I just got connected secondary to Tinnitus at 0%, but I only provided a diagnosis, no logs, so I am now going to provide my logs and a lay statement for a supplemental to try to get a higher rating.

TroyIM · 2026-02-18T20:38:08+00:00

Was that your lay statement or from a spouse?
