I was denied secondary conditions of gout,kidney disease, and sleep apnea to anxiety, which I have a diagnosis for all. I was recently service connected for hypertension, gerd, and hemmroids secondary to anxiety. Can I now file a supplemental claim of gout,kidney disease, and sleep apnea to hypertension

The VA at Lake Nona Orlando refuses to comply with VHA Directive 1134 and assist veterans with DBQs, Nexus letters, and Medical Statements. They claim that is the job of the C&P examiner. They also violate HIPAA laws.

Former infantry. Diagnosed and medically discharged for Sinus Tarsi Syndrome L ankle, in 1994. Documented antalgic gait while in service and ever since. Obtained a Nexus letter from a Doctor to secondary connected my diagnosed Rt ankle traumatic arthritis, bilat knee arthritis, pain and instability, bilat hip osteorarthritis and lower back arthritis. Two years in and they just connected the lower back, but have denied the knees and hips twice now. I also have in service documentation on discharge of PFPS on one exam, then five days later it says, "Not currently". They have also increased my back from 10% to 20%, yet sent me a letter saying they are reducing my overall rating because the back shows improvement. Even though the same letter says my last exam showed worsening of symptoms. The VA sucks.

Not really related but I had a therapy session with a psychologist back in 2021 and I disclosed that I was adopted when I was younger and had bad grades in school. From 2022-present I’ve been dealing with mentally taxing depression and anxiety that stemmed from a few in-service events. I’ve sought out mental therapy for almost three years now, have been checked in to the psych-ward, and am currently doing out-patient therapy (all in Service treatment records, along with ICD diagnosis). My question would be, am I screwed in my Mental Health claim because I disclosed my adoption during my childhood and also stated that I felt bad for a few months? Current diagnosis of MDD, GAD, and Adjustment Disorder within the past 12-months. Currently on active duty and will be utility BDD in 3-months. Thanks in advance

Please do some videos on PFAS used by the military since the 1940's. The VA has nothing on health problems caused by PFAS while the civilian community has overwhelming evidence, movies, and documentaries. The movies "Dark Waters" and "Erin Brockovich" are just two with great evidence. The VA won't even test your blood.

I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD and I'm about to start therapy. Plus I have 15 years of evidence. Chronic homelessness, Under employed. 5150 holds. Isolation and AUD issues and treatment. My question is, should I file a fully developed claim or a supplemental claim to my PTSD claim in 2009? Now i'm adding AUD, General Anxiety Disorder and Insomnia to the claim along with PTSD.
