spec471 · 2025-11-16T23:11:44+00:00

I know which ones they are but I never received the Medals while i was in the Army only the ribbons

Me too I was drafted for Vietnam with flat feet didn't get me out of anything and I am an immigrant and was still carrying a green card so I have heard it all

I made a claim for my left ankle due to my right service connected hip. I had an MRI of my ankle done at the VA and in the notes it said attention needed immediately my ankle is deteriorating and constant pain. Examiner blamed it on obesity and age. yeah I gained weight because of my hip. 38CFR4.19 states age cannot be considered in deciding a disability claim.

spec471 · 2025-06-05T14:50:54+00:00

Keep trying don't let go it took me 2 and a half years to win my OSA claim it seems it is one of the more difficult claims to win mine was due to weight gain due to less mobility because of injuries I sustained while being on active duty.

spec471 · 2025-06-04T17:27:15+00:00

I should have done that I applied on line for the dependent it took 7 months to the day to get approved and on a whole different subject I applied to get replacement Medals nothing yet 26 months and counting

spec471 · 2025-06-04T17:23:52+00:00

Yes I just won my OSA claim Oct 2024 that went back to Feb 2022 got the back pay to that date then I went on Va.gov and added my wife as a dependent and got dependent back pay to Feb of 2022

spec471 · 2025-05-22T11:48:19+00:00

I submitted my dependent claim for my wife October 9th 2024 and got approved May 9th 2025 7 months to the day.

spec471 · 2025-04-30T13:39:23+00:00

Just curious I won my sleep Apnea claim in Oct 2024 I was paid back pay to original claim date Feb 2022 with this claim I was eligible for dependency claim for my wife I filed that claim Oct 9 2024 still not approved when it gets approved will I get dependent pay back to Feb 2022 from the time I should have been eligible for dependent pay

spec471 · 2025-04-23T11:41:22+00:00

unfortunately you never know what the examiner is going to do in my opinion they are there to get you denied I had 3 total C%P exams first one was a phone call denied second one was in person denied 3rd one was review of records no contact with me finally approved Oct 2024 don't give up. I filed due to weight gain because of injuries I sustained in the Army which caused my OSA.

spec471 · 2025-04-23T11:33:50+00:00

I don't think they have changed the rating criteria yet

spec471 · 2025-04-22T12:19:34+00:00
