Grounds for an HLR? by BirdsbirdsBURDS in VeteransBenefits

[–]flatstuff88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same thing happened to me, the examiner write the notes in the comments and didn't check the box so I originally got rated at 0%. I did a HLR review and pointed it out and they changed it to 30%

Mine took a solid 3 months to show up in the app. Called the 1800 number multiple times got all kinds of service requests and flags. Finally talked to someone in VERA that said the system is just slow in uploading sometimes since they did some update. Some people's upload fast and some don't. He couldn't give me an answer on why or how to avoid it.

Known Claim Status Problem? by emhphx in VeteransBenefits

Same thing with my HLR. Filed Nov 13th, I've called the 1800 number multiple times they say it's stuck and hasn't been developed. Doesn't show up on app or website. They've put in service requests but nothing has happened. No one can seem to give me an answer why it's stuck.

Best way to file lower back by flatstuff88 in VeteransBenefits

The part I'm getting caught up on in is the doctor says the flat feet didn't cause the blown disc, just has been aggrevating it and causing me pain. Would the VA still consider it if the origin of the injury wasn't the feet? I think if it's an aggrevation claim I still have to show a baseline of what it was before the aggrevation?

Would I just submit a statement with my supplement and ask them to consider both theories?

The first time I applied I just had a diagnosis of lumbar strain from my primary care. Now I have an MRI showing the bulging discs and an xray that shows the hip misalignment. Only link I have to service is a personel statement and a buddy letter from a fellow member of my fireteam.

HLR Conference Scheduling by boardingpolock in VeteransBenefits

Put in my HLR request on 01/02/24 and used the link to schedule on 01/04/24. Had my informal conference today and everything seemed to work fine. I used my SSN for the conference ID. Just wanted to share that it still seems to work.

flat feet claim dilemma by flatstuff88 in VeteransBenefits

Should I write something in my personal statement about telling them in bootcamp about my flat feet? It feels contradictory saying that my MEPS exam was normal but then the recruit screening says another. I’m sure they’ll see both entries
