    I had this happen when I first got denied for sleep apnea. A positive finding was listed from the C&P examiner, saying it was related to service,but the claim got denied. I was gonna try it as a secondary to sinusitis next. Within a month of getting the initial denial, it somehow got opened back up and then I got awarded the sleep apnea claim. Not sure what triggered that, maybe a random check on files and I happened to be one that got looked at.

    They denied me for sleep apnea. In my favorable findings, they acknowledged that I had it and used a cpap. Also that I was in Iraq and had toxic exposure. In the description, they told me why they denied it but also stated that it would've been rewarded secondary to ptsd with nightmares. At the time, my ptsd claim hadn't gone through, but as soon as it did, I filed a supplemental claim for sleep apnea secondary to ptsd. I'm hoping it goes through this time. I believe this is an example of how you can use your favorable findings to your advantage. The process can be stressful because you know the things you're dealing with are from service but you have to go through multiple attempts to get it service connected even when you think you have the evidence to show it. Hang in there, Vets and keep trying!

    • @DewayneKimble
      @DewayneKimble  6 місяців тому +1

      Favorable findings is only saying that you have sleep apnea but where does it fall under the five ways of service connection and does it meet that criteria. Also, if you had a C & P exam, when you submitted a FOIA request to get the C & P exam why did the examiner say no.

    My favorable findings were different. I was diagnosed with migraines to include migraine variance by my examiner.

    Put in for increase for my lower back, legs and feet.
    My C&P exam did not go will I don't think. Totally different from the first one I had. From the start the doctor wouldn't answer any of my questions, got ether I can't answer that, or I don't know. He was using a computer and typing as he was doing the exam. I ask if the form he was using was a BDQ, he said he had no idea what a BDQ was. I ask how long he had been doing C&P for VA he said 4 year.
    He started checking my feet, wouldn't listen when I was telling him what he was doing was hurting me badly his commit was I'll get over it. Same when checking my knees. When doing my back keep telling me you can bend over more you need to do more, finely I said no more you're hurting me. At the end of the exam, I told him he had hurt me he turn around going out the door and said that he didn't do that.
    The exam took maybe 13 minutes and him working on the computer took up the other time about 25 minutes. What really got me was he didn't ask one question about any of my pain that I was having. I walk out in so much pain I had to stop 3 times before getting back to my truck.
    Should I report this to VA or wait until after the C&P finding comes out.

      If a doctor purposely causes a patient pain, it could constitute medical malpractice or professional misconduct. Additionally, the doctor could face disciplinary action from their licensing board, if you report it, which could result in penalties ranging from fines to suspension or revocation of their medical license.

    I am a gulf war veteran (1995-2008) and was denied service connection for cervical spine condition but in favorable findings I was diagnosed for cervical strain and designated TERA while I was deployed in Bahrain. Does the Pact Act under the Gulf War Illness in Southeast Asia apply for muscle and joint pain presumptive Dx? I submitted a supplemental claim to my denial for that reason Pact Act presumptive dx due to a muscle and joint pain dx and have been ill for over six months

      Where does that condition fall under the five ways of service connection. Also, you can find all the new conditions under the PACT Act on the VA's website. Also, the VA has a list of conditions for Gulf War in their 38CFR.

    Dewayne,
    Please address the following. I just saw a video from a well known law firm that specializes in VA Disability claims state that new increase claim filers must use the 520 EZ and if an increase claim was filed previously (for the condition) that filers must use the supplemental form, but what if a veteran is in a situation like my situation?
    In 2010, I was VA Disability rated at 80%. In 2023, a 30-year VA rater, at my regional office recommended that I allow them to submit for increases (on my behalf) considering that I never filed for an increases in 13 years. I agreed, but later contacted the VA and requested that VA withdraw the increase claim. Why? Because I saw several of your videos mentioning that veteran's should never submit for increases without current medical evidence.
    (Fast forward to today)...I now have current medical evidence, etc, and I'm ready to properly submit an increase claim; however, the law firm's statement induced concerns.
    Question:
    Considering the above scenrio, do I submit for an increases on a 520 EZ or supplemental form? Technically, I previously submitted an increase claim; however, techically, I didn't because I withdrew the claim and didn't fully go through the claims process.
    Note 1: I received notifications for C&P exams but quickly canceled them, properly notified VA, and submitted a form for VA to withdraw the claim.
    Note 2: After VA withdrew the claim, the VA listed the withdrawn claim (under my VA claim's history area) as a decided claim with a decision letter; however, there is/was no decision letter attached.
    I am so confused and this challenge is holding me up from submitting the claim. Do you have any videos that addresse situations like this situation? Thank you in advance for responding.

    • @DewayneKimble
      @DewayneKimble  6 місяців тому +2

      I will take the 1st part. If you file an increase, the prescribed claim form is VA Form 21-526EZ, if you are denied, you will need a VA Form 20-0995 with new and relevant evidence. If may need to take a few steps back and start with the 5 ways of service and how the conditions fall under those five ways.

      You stated, "....all denied for SC because I have nothing in my service records", then later stated that the C&P diagnosed with back problems. Are you saying that you were denied because radiculopathy wasn't in your service records due to the type of claim filed? It's not clear if you filed a direct radiculopathy claim or secondary claim.

    I am a gulf war veteran (1995-2008) and was denied service connection for cervical spine condition but in favorable findings I was diagnosed for cervical strain and designated TERA while I was deployed in Bahrain. Does the Pact Act under the Gulf War Illness in Southeast Asia apply for muscle and joint pain presumptive Dx? I submitted a supplemental claim to my denial for that reason Pact Act presumptive dx due to a muscle and joint pain dx and have been ill for over six months

      Where does that condition fall under the five ways of service connection. Also, you can find all the new conditions under the PACT Act on the VA's website. Also, the VA has a list of conditions for Gulf War in their 38CFR.
