I was 30% since I got out in 2007. I just went through the process and was awarded 100%. The key was looking up each item by code BEFORE filing my claim. I made sure the evidence was irrefutable with the verbiage needed to be awarded what I needed and deserved. Had three items in 2007, now I have 9. It was pretty straight forward because I came in prepared. I didn't file and then prepare, which is how many approach this. Good luck everyone!

Can i ask how in the world you managed to get to 100% I am in the process of researching because my feet and ankles are so bad that it even hurts to sit in a chair with the feet on the floor most of the time.

@@toddhill8543 From my experience with the VA you are better off having your own private Doctor's diagnosis and Nexus. The Lawyers can help with that Nexus and DBQ for your particular disability. IF the VA's C&P exam says one thing and your Dr.'s says another the VA has to go with your Doctors opinion. If you file for a disability and 'trust the VA' you'll likely never get where you need to be.

I left the service in 1996. Prior to this time, I was undergoing treatment for Gallstones on active duty. My further treatment was denied because I was already being treated at a military hospital. Then was told by the VA doctor when it was time to have surgery to come back. At the VA hospital, I was tested for Sleep Apnea. The VA claimed they couldn't read the results. In 2001, My wife got on Tricare at the nearby military hospital. I had immediate follow-up appointments for my gallstones and after one visit to test for Sleep Apnea. I was already diagnosed. All my disabilities claims were denied by VA.

I'm so glad I found this video. I was going to file a sinusitis claim as a secondary to my rhinitis claim on the 21-526ez. I thought I could do this because it was one of the PACT act presumptive conditions. Sinusitis was on my original claim, and they said it was not service related. I will now file it separately on the 20-0995.

Great video. I'm just starting out, as I just recently found out about Thailand. I had 2 tours at NKP and tdys to Korat and Ubon. I was a Security Police augmented on perimeter and also delivered lighting equipment to the perimeter. I gave up checking on Agent Orange years ago because Thailand was denied even though we saw them spraying it. ( I was just told it was weed killer). I've had three, possibly four of the presumptive conditions for many years and have been unable to work for the last ten. I am very thankful to have found your website and have watched many of your videos. I have been advised by ret. military friend that I should immediately go see a VSO, but from what I've read I may be better off getting a hold of all my civilian records. ( Various Hospitals in various states) than rely on VA to find everything. I'm 70 now and would like to get some benefits before I croak. I also have a dependant spouse, disabled adult child and a 10 year old adopted child. My social security is $513.00 a month ----- Wish me luck!

I applied for plantar fasciitis secondary to my service connected pes planus, which was also Static on the code sheet. After the C&P exam for my plantar fasciitis, I received a reduction. Long story short, they claimed that I submitted an increase and that my pes planus was not static, therefore I was subject to a reexamination for that condition as well. My point is, even with a static disability, they still went ahead and conducted a reexamination.

Continuing the VA keeps tons of secrets like any Hospital does. The most important secrets are the complication rate for both surgical facilities and surgeons as individuals, it's impossible for the veteran to make a decision based on fact when the facts are being withheld. When there isn't teamwork patients suffer. When the veteran doesn't meet and talk with the surgeon before the day of surgery he's not in a good position to decide if this is a surgeon for him. The whole of services are a little bit to factory like.

He also had a denial for Unemployability which is not listed on the Rating Code Sheet. On the Rating Code Sheet, they also denied Hypertension as indicated on the Rating Code Sheet. Can you tell me what form I need to request an updated Rating Code Sheet. Since the PACT ACT added Hypertension to the Agent Orange Presumptive Disability list, he will be filing a supplemental claim for Hypertension.

What about the pact act and agent orange service connection? Can I also sue on top of my va claim?

If I was denied for “neck and back pain” in 2010, but was granted a rating for Psoriatic Arthritis and Spondylitis I’m 2023. Will they look back at that claim and deem it rateable?

Is there a way to get a code sheet from va? My last decision was 20+ years ago and I have moved through several states since then.

Question? I am a veteran that is 100% disabled. I have an SCI at the C-5 Asia C Incomplete Tetraplegic. I had a bulging disc at the C-5 that I had surgery on and the fellow drilled too far and hit my Spinal cord. I have been told by a couple other Veteran quads that I should have the higher R-1 or R-2 rating that would pay me a lot more than the 100% rating I have now. The VA does not have me as permanent and totally disabled but I have been in a wheelchair since May 2011. I was also granted the unemployability rating as well. My question is: How do I get the permanent and totally unemployability rating and the higher paying R-1 or R-2 rating?

Hi, I served the Army on Vietnam era, had an accident, right leg and knee, was sent to hospital for 10 day. Next thing I know I was on a plain back home. It was a service connection injury. This was in 1974. I file claims like for ever. After I submitted a claim they always ask for more evidence. They already had the evidence since day 1. After more than 8 surgeries and a lifetime of claiming they gave me a 30% for right knee. They only pay me back pay for 3 years. I waited for this 40 plus years. Can I make a claim for the lost years?

You only get benefits back to your original claim date , a new law went into effect and stops back pay to 1998 , but that may only be in my case , I originally applied in 1980 on injuries from 1977. VA " lost ".all my medical files after 2 years post service, it has taken me 40 years to find evidence of my injuries.

The VA said I was not eligible for disability claim since I out processed with no health issue. Five strokes later and tinnitus I question their decision.

2 questions on the video, 1 : you said that back in the 70s they had a different sheet, then Peter said that in the past 20 years this was what was used… what about the 30 years between the 70s and the past 20 years? When did they go to the new approach? I was rated in 1990 or so and don’t have a copy of one… is there one for me or do I fall in the old one sheet approach. (Or something different?) 2: the sheet shows things that are service connected, and things you have, but are not service connected… what about things that you applied for, but the VA did not agree that you had at all. Would that be a third section? Or is it lumped in with the second? And do those kinds of denied claims also need to be on a different form? Thanks,
