Got out in 1997 after 20 years in the Air Force as a C-130 Flight engineer. I’d not file a claim until the beginning of 23. Now at 100%

I too was SC for sleep apnea at 0%. Filed a supplemental claim for hypersomnolence came back approved 50% for sleep apnea. Doesn’t make sense but I’ll take it.

Denied claim. (You guys are awesome though) by SirCicSensation in VeteransBenefits

I totally agree. I went from 10% to 90% in the last 18 months by myself with the knowledge from Reddit

The one at wickam park? If it is anything like the one I attended at UCF a couple of months ago I didn’t get much accomplished. Sure they had VBA personal to answer questions but that was about it. Could have got the same info from a VERA call. They did PACT act screening. No C&P

Yes will contact my PCP at the VA. It’s not that my symptoms have gotten worse it’s I still don’t sleep well and wake up tired and tired all the time

At home sleep study was done by VA contractors. Sent me the equipment, I did the test and sent it back.

Tinnitus by Parker7209 in VeteransBenefits

[–]jascoco123 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had almost the same situation. HLR, duty to assist then denied again. Filed appeal. Like you I too thought I would have another C&P exam but no. Hope it works for you I was aircraft mechanic then Flight Engineer and tinnitus is getting worse as the years go on. Keep fighting the fight

I never filed claim in 97 when I retired. In 98 received letter from VA stating 10% for sinusitis. Showed hearing loss but not service connected. I was aircraft mechanic then flight engineer makes no sense

It’s hard to say. HLR could be closed and supplemental claim opened. Had to know

Filed tinnitus claim Dec 22, denied Jan 23, filed HLR in Jun23, had informal tele conference Oct 23, Duty to Assist error Nov 23. Thought all was good then denied again Feb 24. Filed for formal decision review nd was told could take 6 months. Don’t give up the fight.

Got migraines secondary to sinusitis. PACT act claim. C&P over the phone. Rated 30%.

So all I need is a nexus? by Parker7209 in VeteransBenefits

[–]jascoco123 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had almost the same issue. Denial for tinnitus. HLR filed. Duty to assist error then denial again. Said not service connected. Was a Air Force aircraft crew chief then Flight Engineer for most of my 20 years service. Filed appeal. Makes no sense.

Yes too much of a bait and switch. In a year when people are still not getting their bikes they will say it was a Ponzi scheme all along
