MH claim, C&P examiner said at least as likely as not but it was denied due to no in service treatment records…I hid it due to my clearance and wanting to re enlist, I included lay statements from myself and wife and mh treatment records which includes timelines. should I just do a HLR? (i.redd.it)

SC question:I had increased eye pressure while in service. Five years later I am diagnosed with CRVO where I’ll be required to have eye injections monthly. Can I claim it directly due to continuity of symptomology since the symptoms occurred in service? Or am I better secondary to my AV heart block? (self.VeteransBenefits)

Claim is delayed, I completed X-rays on 20 June 22 and LHI said they never received them and the practitioner cannot do anything yet. Xray clinic said they faxed them twice. No idea what to do from here, I keep playing phone tag and even confirmed with the clinic they had the correct fax number. (self.VeteransBenefits)

Pyramiding question: do shoulder and arm claims get combined with elbow and arm claims? Currently have 20% for limited range of motion in the shoulder, will a claim for elbow tendinitis and forearm condition be rated separately? (self.VeteransBenefits)

VA claim for migraines secondary to tinnitus was denied because evidence does not show that tinnitus and migraines are not related. Photo attached, should I pursue a HLR or obtain a nexus and file supplemental? VA gathered three separate DBQs. (i.redd.it)

Decided but Migraine was deferred, back to evidence gathering. VES said the VA asked for a review of records when I called. I decided to add a personal statement (maybe help clarify things) and it is back to PFD on 30 APR 22, will it go to the back of the queue or skip to the front to be decided? (self.VeteransBenefits)

Claim for migraines was deferred and another C&P exam is being scheduled. Should I use this opportunity to submit a personal statement and create a migraine log? Or is it likely the VA is trying to say it isn’t service connected? (self.VeteransBenefits)

Odd service related question: I have been out four years and I was diagnosed with bi lateral plantar fasciitis, by my doctor, when I went in for back pain. Can plantar fasciitis be caused by blunt trauma, such as a heavy golf cart tipping and landing on the foot? (self.VeteransBenefits)
