How Does the VA Test for Tinnitus!?
Hey folks! Today, we're diving into the buzzing world of tinnitus-sometimes called the "sound of silence," but way more annoying. Whether you say "tinnitus" or "tinnitus," it's all good, just like arguing over "tomato" or "to-mah-to."
I'll share my personal journey with this relentless ringing in my ears and how the VA’s Progressive Tinnitus Management program can help. This program offers strategies to manage tinnitus, even though there’s no magical cure. From using white noise to noise generators and specialized hearing aids, there are various ways to cope with the sound.
We’ll also discuss how tinnitus might affect your sleep and what you should know for compensation evaluations. Remember, being honest about your symptoms is crucial. Tinnitus can manifest as ringing, buzzing, or other sounds, and your experience is unique to you.
Join me as we explore how to deal with tinnitus and the resources available to help you manage it.

VA Disability: The 55 Year Rule!
Переглядів 5 тис.Місяць тому
Alright folks, let's break down the VA disability 55-year-old rule. The VA regularly checks up on veterans with disability ratings every two to five years, which can lead to changes in benefits. However, some ratings are protected, meaning they can't be downgraded, like the 10-year and 20-year rules. Specifically, the 55-plus rule generally prevents rating reductions for veterans over 55, but i...

Maximizing Tinnitus VA Claims Potential: Your Comprehensive Guide
This is the problem. I personally spent my career avoiding medical care because it made soldiers look bad during my time. 93-17. Some of my injuries were in my record but most were not. Until 2010 or so any mental health complaint would get your security clearance suspended. Now I’m fighting to survive on just my pension because I’m old and conditions worsen. It’s a total goat fuck
So, NOTHING HAS BEEN HIDDEN! Why sensationalise the headline? Just state VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATION WHEN FILING NEW OR FOLLOW-UP CLAIMS. In fact the VA hides ZERO, everything you need to know about claims and how the VA processes them can be found at VA.gov or in the Code of Federal Regulations.
Thanks!
Glad this helped
I WAS KILLED BY agent ORANGE in 69 and by the GRACE of CHRIST recovered so WHY ask for anything More--BUT 2014 VA destroyed my Athlete Lifestyle and have LIED constantly ever since They know MEDS came from Them and that CLINDAMYCIN does cause the deadly disease C. DIFF---SO MUST CON WORLD and COVER their MISTAKE in the LARGE CRACKS that they Develop. SO SAD WHAT A CURSE on Decent People an Organization that knows NO COMPASSION ALL reap the PIT with NO COMPASSION
YES I brushed it off and still did not SEEK HELP.. BUT VA poisoned me with those DAMN super anti biotics and they DESTROYED my LIFE more than NAM ever did--VA are True LIARS and Cheap People I ran into Not One but Many---Had good results for Years and Then SOMEONE did me in with Lies and KANGEROO Court and ITS All beem LIES since the WHOLE Management Refuses 6 Positive testings for C DIFF Cause by their Medicine BUT since they KNEW medicine was from THem THEY Have LIED about my COMPUTERIZED PROOF of that Deadly disease--Their NEW Trick THREATENING Me with RESTRICTIONS(NO HEALTH CARE) IF I mention C. DIFF LIKE I SAID COMPUTER WORK PROVES i had it many Months VA SAYS NO and WINS for NO CONGRESS PEOPLE NOBODY will take TIME---TOO BAD SO SAD WHAT WORMS THERE ARE EVEN IN AMERICA--True LIARS
Thank you for this information.
Glad it was helpful
I was rated at 53 years with all my conditions being “static”. However, there are people I speak to that says the VA could re-examine me even after the so-called 55 years. It’s all confusing and if true, the term “P&T” is a monomer. Great advice and any comment on my comment is appreciated in advance. APTTMHY
yes, the VA can still reexamine you after 55 and with P&T. Most times, it's unwarranted unless they are trying to prove fraud. I created a video that covers what to do if it happens.
ua-cam.com/video/NUFVCW8UUJg/v-deo.html
What if your 60?
Even better, there's now rules for that age particularly.
what are they where can i find information?
Welp, I will be 55 next year.
Nice
Thk u
You're welcome
How and where do I get my code sheet?
You request from the VA after you rating decision.
13E Artillery, tinnitus was my easiest claim, but not my 1st.
Nice
Good info. But, it should be *"TDIU"* status. Not, TDY...
Thanks lol
Great videos keep up the good work!! Thanks for making these too!
Glad your getting value from the content!
Every healthcare facility should have an office of information it makes both medical and benefit records quickly available
That doesn't sound like a bad idea.
There should be a simple rule any information helpful to veterans as patients should not be withheld
That makes too much sense!
If you ask for it, they have to give it to you, by law. They won't let you know that, they're going to sideline you, at least try to, but in the end they have to. Look at HIPPA laws.
Thanks for your helpful information!
Anytime!
The things I learn everyday. Appreciate your hard work , Thank you.
Thank you!
Great info…..Thanks
Glad it was helpful!
How do I get the CODE SHEET??
If you didn't get it with your denial, you have to request one from the VA.
Shalom. Yes, I just requested the VA code sheet from the VBA. Thanks for the great info. APTTMHY
Shalom, great job applying the info. Glad it helped.
They told me shipmate
Good, we need this info to get around.
Got to get your Claims file.
Correct
How do you get the code sheet? I have never received on in all of my denials. Thank you!
If you didn't get it with your denial, you have to request one from the VA.
Good content.... Keep up the good work! 👌
Appreciate it!
100% isn’t being issued anymore. I speak from experience.
source- Trust me bro
@@animalbeast6564 im not understanding your statement.i applied for tdiu and ssdi last august with the help of a va lawyer.im waiting for the va to render a decision.
When did they 🛑.
Oh okay.
If ptsd is getting worse, more medication is prescribed by VA, can I ask for an increase?
The simple answer is yes, make sure to look up the 38 CFR for PTSD to get an idea of what worse looks like in their definition.
@@KapRowley ok, thanks.
Best to be 100 pt so no more exams
Agreed
@@KapRowley but with Trump and project 2025 they will cut our benefits
Thank you for this information. I am a few years away from 55 (currently just turned 53) and was recently granted service connection today at 100% P%T. It states in the letter that it was 100% effective Jan 31, 2024. I think I just crossed the finish line. That is outside of unusual circumstances. APTTMHY
Fantastic!
Thanks. Nice job
I appreciate you
AND THE DEMOCRATS can't understand why no one wants to sign up for military service !
Lol
I just got my 70% rating for MH, im already 65yrs old...am i protected just from my age alone?
Nothing is protected until 20 years.
@@tdgdbs1 I've heard that as well... Nonetheless, we're dealing with a double edged sword.....
You should be good, but unfortunately you can still have a reexam. The VA has been known for giving unwarranted reexams here and there. I made a video about that and what you can do if you get in the situation. It's called "VA Forcing Unwarranted Reexams"
@@KapRowley Thank you for the info.? I'll check that out....
"the VA has a pretty chill standard"... No they don't, I fought them for 7 years to even get diagnosed.
You're right, context is key!
Millions a year are wasted on erroneous and poorly executed exams.
Tell me about it
So while reducing unnecessary C&P exams, the VBA could insure more veterans could be getting their claims adjudicated quicker by C&P examiners that could complete the required C&P exams. Wouldn’t that be a great thing? Good video thanks for sharing.
I agree
Welfare queens 😂
i never knew hypertension can be included 🤦🏾♂️!!!! ALWAYS finding out years later 🤬🤬🤬🤬!!!!
Never stop learning!
You'll never get compensation for hbp if you're on meds and your pressure is under control is 0%. I'm service connected with 0% cause I'm on meds. Good luck
Good video thanks
Thank you
"Tell us how your back got injured from your service " > I literally carried over 100 lbs, enough to dry off antitank mines for months > the VA has you rated for 0% I have been getting chiro therapy for 10 years now.😂
I claimed chronic pain from rucking and moving heavy equipment.
Your videos are a service to vets. Thank you 🫡
Thanks kind of you
Is dermatitis presumptive to Desert Storm?
Not that I could find on the VA website. Then again, their site isn't completely updated. I recommend you call the VA directly and ask.
@@KapRowley ok thanks!! I'll call and see!!
...look at Pact Act...
Tinnitus is 10%, what can I claim for Navy Diving School in 1979?
What conditions normally correlate with diving school?
I have 10% for Tinnitus.... I then filed a secondary condition of diagnosed Insomnia and my Dr wrote a nexus letter for me saying "it's as likely as not connected to his service connected tinnitus"..... And that secondary claim got rated 70%
Great info! Appreciate it. APTTMHY
Thanks
CSM of the Ordnance Corps told us (years ago), “they don’t want me, they want my Rolodex!”
Whoa
I got approved for tinnitus. I was a tanker, but anyone can write a convincing personal statement. You have to absolutely point out why you think this is service connected.
I agree, context is key.
I was a tanker also 19E/19K how did you win claim , I just filed a month ago
You can still get connected and 0%.
Yes! 0% Is a great thing! The VA is acknowledging your connection. You can always increase, in a couple years, is recommended.
You can claim almost anything, getting service connected is a major hurdle!
That's a fact and many other variables, like if your rater had a bad day!
Makes me wonder. I claimed tinnitus, but was denied. Makes no sense considering part of my job was listening to loud, scratchy, crappy comms constantly.
Reapply. I worked with demo and was denied twice.
I also worked with demo, but also had a concussion from an IED..... it was literally the easiest claim
The vet needs to make sure the v.a. already has all the records before you go for a exam. It’s not there job to read all your records. There only job is to examine you and turn in report to rater.
That's a fact!
Can Congested heart failure presumably from Agent Orange exposure eventually be considered a static disability? Right now i am 10 percent for open heart surgery; but I am fighting for more since my condition has worsened from my original claim. I was awarded 0 percent for MGUS a precursor to MM since currently I am not being treated for Multiple Myeloma I get no more. FYI: MGUS is obtained years ago from the toxic water I drank at Camp Lejeune. It is extremely frustrating and sometimes I wish I never knew about these VA benefits near the end of my life. But as embarrassing as this all is; I am going to keep on the fight Cheers
The Law was passed that you are eligible for a presumptive decision. They assume that you are correct if you meet the criteria. Maybe others can chime in.
I totally agree with @GSDUKE 's response
@@GSPDUKE I will do just just that. I called the VA and requested a 35 day extension to get all my new materials together to send to them. My final exam will be on Aug 1 when I take an exercise stress test which will show them that I cannot exercise to loose weight due to my congested heart failure and it being incurable So we will see what happens next. I am doing it for my family. Thanks
