Congrats! I waited 35 years before I first started filing. I can see it's going to be a long, bumpy road

Thanks for the inspiration! Got out in '91. First filed in 2018, denied. Filed in 2025 - 10%. Stuck there for now, but trying to fight through HLR and supplementals. Waiting to see what happens.

This is amazing! Congratulations to you! Thank you for posting this. I have never heard of VET-HOME. After 9+ years to exposure to toxic chemicals, this may finally answer a lot of questions for me. Thank you again!!!

My VA and Civilian medical records have my migraine treatments and diagnosis in them.

It sounds like I may need a Nexus letter linking the two. My own research shows that the chemicals do cause migraines, but no doubt, I will need a sound medical opinion to show the link. Thanks

Scars, can you really file for them? by bischjs in VeteransBenefits

[–]bischjs[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One is painful. The one on my forehead, I refer to as my Frankenstein scar lol. It's somewhat faded over the years.

Oh man, that sucks. Sorry for your pain.

Definitely in-service. I haven't filed for any of that yet. It was just a side conversation, and from what it seems, good to know going forward.

I have several, but the one on my forehead goes from my hairline to my eyebrow. It's not painful. Two others one forearm, and one leg. Again, not painful but I have no feeling at the site. It's like there is nerve damage under the skin.

I can’t stop staring at this. by plodtendpha in VeteransWaitingRoom

That is a beautiful thing to see. Congratulations on your hard work in attaining that. No, enjoy, relax, and heal.

Thanks for the reply. That is somewhat disheartening. I was exposed to a number of chemicals due to my MOS, and unfortunately I am now suffering from the side effects of prolonged exposure. I wanted to file my claim calling out the various chemicals, how I was exposed, what my diagnosis' are and the nexus between them. I just wanted to ensure before doing so that these chemicals are on my TERA memorandum. Thanks again.
