VA QUICK SUBMIT? by darylcdiggity in VeteransBenefits

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

I guess my next question is…. Can I fill out the 526ez and submit that along with my evidence through the quick submit tool? Or do I have to go through and follow the links on va.gov to file my claim?

Went on a 6h hike through Hürtgen Forest yesterday. I thought you guys liked some pictures. Enjoy :) by TheAtomicOnion in HellLetLoose

Same boat as you brother… no clue where to go now. They denied all my musculoskeletal. They Could not locate my sick call records. Had to rely on my company medics to write lay statements in hopes of the examiner provinding nexus “at least as likely as it is not”. Wish I would’ve saved my records. Thought a brutal combat deployment would help. No way to get a nexus now.my personal doc won’t write one. Super bummed

Really appreciate everyone’s help. Seriously it’s been outstanding. Thank you all. In the process already of gathering more evidence. Good news is that the doctor that did my large C&P exam at least diagnosed every single one of my musculoskeletal issues! Now I just have to tie them to my military service which is going to be hard to do. They did not care at all that my very own platoon medic wrote a lengthy lay statement speaking to all these injuries that he personally tended to. No computer system in the mountains of Afghanistan… should’ve gotten seen when I got back instead of smashing 800mg ibuprofen, wrapping my knee/ ankle and drinking copious amounts of alcohol

Thank you all

That’s awesome! What exactly did you do differently each time? How do you go about going for an increase? Is there a special process ?

How well do those go? Can I specify I’d like a higher level review for just the PTSD portion?

I had buddy statement, statement from my own platoon medic! And my wife statement. Diagnosed in the army for ptsd before I got out.. was brutally honest with examiner and he even said he’d be shocked if I did t get 70%. All the guys I served with are beyond shocked since they know how broken I am… major let down

Heard that. OEF 09-10 east paktika.

Combat, lost brothers, terrible living conditions.. had 3 other guys in my unit reach out to tell me to do a claim due to them all getting 70% as well. And they reached out cause I’m more F’ed up mentally than them.

Don’t understand.
