I am 20% compensated for Retro Patella Pain Syndrome but I have been compensating with the other leg that has changed my walking gate and now I am diagnosed by a Pain Management Specialist with herniated disc at the L3/4 and the L5/S1 area with bone spurs and Lumbar Spinal Stenosis, unfortunately the VA is claiming that my back issues are not service connected. I throughly believe that I would not have these back issues if it were not for the compensation of the other leg. I am currently talking to a Law Office for appealing this decision. Also I was diagnosed with Left shoulder Tendinitis and had to have 3 level Cervical fusion in 2018 that one again they say is not service connected

I went to a Board of veterans appeal, the DAV did nothing, I did all the talking, the judge had nothing of all the evidence I had sent to the evidence center, there's a lack of communication between the department, I know veterans almost deaf, and only getting 30 pct. My own brother who fought in Vietnam with the 173rd was denied he has zero pct hearing loss, he carried the M60 machine gun. Sometimes I wonder who are the dummies that grade our papers. And I also know national guards who never been but to boot camp, getting 50 pct hearing loss. Isxa messed up system

Well read this..I had a hearing after waiting 8 long years, service connected eye loss (totally blind in right eye) and TBI and my DAV rep showed up with nothing in hand for my evidence I gave to him earlier on in my case, and did not have anything to say in my case to the judge, he just sat there, i was devastated, I did all the talking and fighting for myself only to be denied my benefits because in the judge's decision later received in the mail he mentioned I had "No visibility" ( as in physical evidence, papers, doctor reports, former law cases etc.) to prove my case. Then covid hit and still waiting to hear from the VA on an appeal..i have no attorney...I pray 🙏 that other vets get better help than what I did not get with D.A.V. Also the VA puts off your case for years, thinking you'll probably die before they give you any benefits, and a lot do die..smh The United States will give countries who even hate us BILLIONS $$$$ of aid all over the world but deny us veterans any benefits at all, or only chicken feed for some that do. Sorry I ever served.

70% disability rating awarded aprox. 5 yrs ago. Short version - went to a county resources facility to use computer to update my resume. Was asked if I was a veteran, said yes then met with a VA rep who explained all svcs avail to me as part of orientation to facility. In 1990 got a hernia fixed after boot camp. It reinjured over the yrs & got me rejected at a job interview physical. This I had forgotten till I was asked if ever rejected for a job because of the hernia. (carpenter for 23 yrs). VA did another repair surgery which failed. They offered another, I declined. 1 1/2 yrs later I got an award letter. Free healthcare for life including any prescriptions plus a check every month which Im grateful to have. Ive found the VA to be extremely professional & always very respectful. Have had a few unrelated procedures done since & encountered competent professional medical staff (at all levels) at S.F. VA medical center every time.

I just had an open heart, triple bypass operation last week and wondered if I would get a higher rating than my current 60%. I'll be seeing a VA disability volunteer on Monday and will provide all the necessary medical documentation. I have PTSD from Vietnam and also Agent Orange. It seems my current heart failure could be connected to these two. Thanks for providing this critical service to the Veterans.

I just wanted to say thank you and all the other Law Firms, and groups for all this free information you all share. It's truly invaluable to those like me who will listen and use it to get an increase in our disability claim. I just went from 20% for a few years, to 80% a month ago by listening to all the information you and various groups put out on KZfaq. I hope and pray I don't have to retain one of these legal firms to get my back money they seem not to recognize they owe me. I have a C&P Exam Monday Dec. 9th 2019 for my Unemployability Claim. Please know your work and video's are not in vain. Thank you all again.

I don't know how it would be classified, inner ear or whatever, but for my vertigo, falling, ear fullness, nausea, etc. my VA doctors diagnosed that I had Ménières Syndrome. For that I am taking "HCTZ" which helps lessen the "attacks." Anyway, the VBA rated Ménières Syndrome 100% P & T. Separately, I had the ubiquitous service-connected 10% tinnitus rating, and service connected hearing loss, rated at "0" percent.

I have been rated 90% since I retired from the Navy in 2007. Since then I acquired Meniere's, which forced me to retire early from my civilian career in Jan 2022. So did your Meniere's Syndrome result in a 100% disability rating permanently?

I enlisted in the Air Force in 1964 and trained as a an AGE Technician. By the way, the flight line ear protection back then must’ve been patented in 1920, 98% not effective( aged, hardened insulators. My biggest physical problem was that I caught the Polio virus at age 5. But I made a 95% recovery. I was left walking with my knees bent backwards when I walked. And because the polio chooses at random which muscles to paralyze makes things like in my case, my legs would completely fatigue while trying to run in basic training to a point of colapse.

I was on a training carrier in 1992....we we overhauling the ship , I was in a harness chipping paint with a grinder, part of the sanding disc snapped off and got me in the knee.... sometime later I was taken off my ship for three months. Fast forward years later I have had surgery to repair a meniscus tear and had a lot of arthritis cleaned up.... I have been told that knee replacement is inevitable. Should I file a claim. I really have thought about this for years.... but as I get older I have trouble getting out of chairs and bending..... could absolutely never run after that.

My BVA-remanded appeal was mishandled by the VARO. They were directed to roll my new MH SC - which they failed to adjudicate at all - & my open TDIU appeal together, or return to BVA if denied. They only readjudicated the SC issues (70%) and apparently ignored the TDIU appeal. I'm still awaiting the packet, but does it seem likely they're working on it & I should just be patient, or is another appeal going to be needed? Probably worth noting that the TDIU claim alleges 40-year CUE, which the C&P doc acknowledged. I'm represented by DAV.

So i had my left knee replace 06/2022, and when i go my new rating, they dropped the % on the right knee to keep me under 100%! There was no procedure done on the right knee. They also denied my back, and hip conditions that should of been connected as secondary to the knee problems from the major limp i had and messed all that up. Plus denied my PTSD when i had a traumatic fall in boot camp, which ended my career and life- long dream. i am now at 90%, but i also have paperwork in from a increase, and unemployability, plus SSi claim. Pending the decision ,i may be in touch SOON !

When I got out of the Military I filled for disability for a back I injury that happened while on active duty. And it was turned down. But I filed again. A little time past ,but my condition started to fliar up severely. I had problems trying to hold down jobs. I also had severe stomach problems along with server depression. I filed again and was awarded nonservice connect because i had to stop work. I recueive benefits while in Martinsburg VA hospital for homelessness and back problems in around 2005 -6 . While there I had to recieve shots in my back. Later when back here in Baltimore some years later i was diagnosed with syatic lower left back pain. Since then I've been experiencing serious problems all through out my left hip,leg,nee and anchor. Three are times I've not been able get out of bed. Depression,tress,and anxiety had set in which caused me to go Social Security that I am steal presently on. I work at to VA here in Baltimore now where I am steal being treated for all the above. I was discharged back in 1973 April and steal today I'm walking with a lamp which I get worse as I walk. For years I treated myself with alcohol and drugs just to keep working from the time I got out of the military. But received treatment at theVA many times,and now been totally clean and sober since December 1992. Still taking lots of meds and working through VA. But need help filling for disability again. All records are in the VA system.

My husband served in Vietnam from 1966-68. VA paid him for prostate cancer 100% rate for about 3 years and downrated to 20% due to improvement and had 10% for hearing loss. He died in Jan 2020 but as his serving wife, I filed for his colon cancer, bladder cancer, and denied before the PACT act. I later went back in 2022 to file on colon cancer and bladder cancer. Do you think I will get the 5 months of his existence with the illness paid? I later find out that HBP is covered. He was always treated by the VA for HBP. Can I file under the pact act for HBP?

Good day all, I am working on going through a MED board for compartment syndrome from an injury suffered during a surgical procedure. I was undergoing a tibial osteotomy and the surgeon severed my vein and artery, the artery was repaired just not the vein. Now I have compartment syndrome that ortho stated is not readable due to my age and where the compartment syndrome is most prevalent. This injury was caused by jumping of an house landing while being fired upon in Iraq. I would like guidance from anyone. Thanks

If the VA gave a rating for hearing loss, then tell you to get a particular test that is not know to audiologist in the VA system or civilian sector. Then the VA has you get another C&P for hearing and determine that your hearing improved and reduces your rating. During the C&P the audiologist gives you the list of words to repeat because you can't hear the words said to you. How can a person's hearing get better?

After returning from Iraq in 2004, I was awarded 80% disabled by the VA. Those being 90% orthopedic in nature. In 2009 I claimed deterioration and walking problems in both knees. I received a zero disability for that claim. In 2019 I had knee joint replacement of the left knee. Currently to date, findings of deteriorating of the right knee is on going. Also, I have been diagnosis with Rheumatoid/Psoriatic Arthritis, have lost 40% of hand dexterity due to crippling deformation the joints of the hands. My question is, is it worthy to claim 100% disability?

OMG ABSOLUTELY!! There are a large number of benefits given, not just by the VA, but also by the state and I think federal gov. 1. You AND YOUR FAMILY are granted free health care. Depending on your state, you don’t have to pay for property taxes, nor vehicle registration fees. Handicap plates for your vehicles... for starters.

When I did my PHA 2 months prior to deployment to Iraq, I was not diagnosed nor did I have any medical condition to stop me from deploying. I returned from Iraq in June of 08, August of the same year I went to a PHA. When I left that day I was told that I have Diabetes, and began treatment for that the following month. Will I be able to file on this for my disability claim. Also will I be able to claim Sleep Apnea. I have been tested and have the paperwork showing that I have a very serious case of sleep apnea. My document says that my breathing drops way below the normal level. Thank you for what y'all do to help tell us Veterans

I am just discovering your information discussions on KZfaq which is excellent to hear. I am at this time concerned about can a family member apply for a dead parent who was directly in contact with Agent Orange ? My father was in the Air Force, stationed at DaNang Vietnam, loading Agent Orange on the plane’s for spraying. My father passed away, with many medical conditions that were destroying his health. I was just beginning to help him with applying for service connected when he died March 2021. So, can I apply for him after his death ?

Hi Mr. Harring, Veterans cannot be directly service-connected for alcoholism; however, they can be service-connected on a secondary basis for conditions that arise from alcoholism, if the alcoholism is due to a service-connected condition. There is more about this on our blog here: cck-law.com/blog/va-disability-and-alcoholism/

I have filed a claim for Agent Orange Diabetes Benefits. The VA has Veterans Evaluation Services doing all my testing. VES has my name spelled incorrectly (both 1st & last). I have spoken with them 3 times about this and cannot get them to correct the spelling. Anyone know of where I can go to get this corrected? I have a bad feeling that this will create a big problem with the VA. Thanks
