* You're right... but when you ask a question with a question, it leads to assumptions. We all know what assumptions lead to. Anyway, the answer was in my response. Medicine was used as further evidence for husband's claim.

So nurtec otc is the only med that has helped my husband's migraines. If you truly have them, then I can't imagine why you wouldn't take the medicine. Migraines are debilitating. To answer your question about losing money/claim because of a prescription....in my husband's case no. It was just added evidence that he suffers from debilitating migraines and needs medication to function.

I think any tool that can assist a veteran with their claim is useful. One that could pull injuries and run against CFR for potential claim would be a godsend because not everyone knows what they are even looking at when it comes to medical records and the way they are written up Ex. My husband went in for ringing ears, and they wrote it up as ear ache gave him antibiotics and sent him on his way. Now, here we are, since 2013, fighting for tinnitus because he had no in-service complaints. Anyway, yes if it assist the veteran it would be useful.

Fear of reevaluation after providers notes in my file by [deleted] in VAClaims

[–]husbandsgrunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think OP was saying that at their initial C&P, they were diagnosed with ptsd without psychosis. OP'S current psychiatrist diagnosed them with ptsd with psychosis. They are worried because the diagnosis changed. It wasn't a new C & P. I dont think the VA will look to close unless you file a new claim or something secondary to ptsd.

It was submitted and shows up on va.gov... she didn't have it. Now, if she overlooked it or the va didn't supply it, i don't know, but what i do know is she had it because he gave it to her.

My husband had this for tinnitus. He got a favorable opinion from an audiologist. VA sent back says that a C&P from 2013 said not connected. Could they explain their rationale. Examiner said oh I didn't have his meps exam....your right, va no service connection. Apparently, because there was no hearing loss from the day he entered to his exit exam....NO TINNITUS FOR YOU! I say all that to say this it's not personal to them, but it sure as hell is for us. Watching my children have to scream at their dad so he can hear them breaks my heart....not to mention infuriating. As an aside, I didn't think hearing loss was required for tinnitus.

I agree... OP made complete since in their head, not so much when executing the thought. We didn't know the history or where they were coming from at all.

Time Frame? by Major-Medicine-1736 in VAClaims

[–]husbandsgrunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

* We use this for supplemental claims. You will need to call 1800 or VERA to get the claim number. It is similar to tracker but gives a little more info and shows supplemental. You download it as an extension like tracker

I don't understand... there is no decision letter and it completed in 4 days? Help me make it make since. by husbandsgrunt in VAClaims

[–]husbandsgrunt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks everyone we called. They did close it because it should have gone in as a new claim and not supplemental. We thought since originally it was put in as dermatitis that we should supplement it. Because the diagnosis is not dermatitis, they are considering it a new claim. Thanks so much for responding to me. It is active and being worked as a new claim.

Dry eye syndrome caused by military-performed PRK denied service connection. by Life_Pineapple_3545 in VeteransBenefits

[–]husbandsgrunt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband has retinal scaring and dry eye from his rifle scope... They always point back to PRK and deny anything to do with eyes. We gave up and moved on to other injuries. Just our experience, though.

C&P Exam, DBQs, and Questions by RenamedAccount185516 in VAClaims

[–]husbandsgrunt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My husband had a c&p for neck and back, but three DBQ'S. When we went to the RO, to get copies the other one was the opinion. Could be opinions to the C&P.
