I was in the Air Force for 20 years. And I became deaf four years into my first enlistment. I already knew I was going to get a disability for being deaf in one ear. However, I have vertigo and tinnitus very badly and the VA only gave me 10% for each and only 10% for being deaf in my one year. I am older now and my good ear is starting to go deaf. So, these are great tips for me to go back to the VA and re-file a claim. Thank you very much.
You the man Jordan!
You’re the Beez Kneez ♟️
Can you make a video about TBIs and include a personal statement in the grandmaster course. It’s another high roller claim at least at a glance online.
Damn. Why do I feel attacked right now?😂
Hello there.. just saw an old benefits denial letter from a claim i filed the month that i ETS'd 8/2001 and it shows I was claim knee and back issues... I forget why it was denied, but most likely i didnt make the C&P appt is because the process was over a year at that time and I had already moved out of state.
OAN, I dont have my outpatient STRs only inpatient STRs because thats all national archives provided me... crazy part is VA is now saying I never complained about back pain in those days when clearly, I did. Maybe during those days they didnt have the, "you have up until 1 year to service connect injury rule"... I am still attempting to service connect with a nexus letter from a letter of intent filed 2/2023.... however, do you think that I can possibly win at the board of appeals to get the knees, back and dizziness back dated all the way to 8/2001? Your thoughts on that? My apologies on the length...
I’ve been denied several times for migraines AND clothing allowance. I’ve been to several migraine drs and they all have tried me to take every migraine cocktail drugs which didn’t work. But yet the VA denied me on my migraine file
Is it service connected? If not did you file for migraines as a primary claim or secondary?
I have 3/4 the conditions you outlined and I'm not even at 50%. I'm going to click on your link but do you have anyone I can connect with from your network, because I'm ready to do the work!
i'm at 30% for insomnia/ dysthymia (rated as depression). i knew somthing wasnt right
Is there a free template or a video of the structure of a personal statement? And how long does it have to be? Can it be a1-2 page statement?
Excellent
Thank you! Cheers!
Can you do a video on ROM for knees?
I was absolutely an Ignorant Igor. I thought you had to be blown up by IUDs or suffering debilitating PTSD to get any VA claims. I never knew what I was entitled to. It wasn't until a relative and fellow vet told me he went from 10 to 50 to 100% that I realized I wasn't getting what I deserved. I felt really dumb for not knowing and for not filing earlier. But you can't help what you don't know. You can help what you know and don't do anything about. Once I had the education I knew better. Once you know better you do better.
I have a legacy case, combat vet, on the books 20 plus years, I will die long before the VA pays me.
How to I get this Nexus letter form. I have all these symptoms. Let me know.
I thought you had to look like LT Dan 🤣🤣🤣 facts
Aha I got 2 conditions. My migraine is just 30 percent but I missed work at least once a week. My gerd is on my military medical records and my va doctor gives me a medication for those but not on my claims. But I got claims for Ibs 30 percent. I might claim my gerd and reclaim my migraine. And learn how to write a personal statement.
what about SMC's
I guess I was a cheap Charlie, but I didn't know any better, nor did I know how the system worked back in 2011.
Question for you:
Back in 05’ when I got out everything was snail mail. No internet claims etc. I snail mailed a claim that got denied. I had no evidence. Only what was in my record. I had an injury on duty and went to medical and was off of work. Back then I got denied for that injury not service connected. My question is today with in service records available to the Va and seeing the injury on their end, if I were to submit that claim and it gets service connected now, would it back pay me to the original file date back in 05’?
No. They will only backdate back to your intent to file date.
@@MZHERSHEYPRINCESS👆🏾👆🏾👆🏾Shes correct!
Yes
My bad I’m “ ignorant Igor” by just not wanting to be a “sick bay commando” and it’s not worth the price I paid mentally, physically and emotionally in AD 2024
Hi. I filled my last claim for 3 conditions. PTSD, OSA secondary to PTSD, and migraines secondary to PTSD. I won the PTSD claim and the OSA claim, but was denied my claim for migraines. The reason i was denied was because in my STR it was noted that i had taken Tylenol for a headache the night before going to MEPS. Would it still be possible to submit a new claim for migraines stating that this migraines are aggravated by my PTSD? Or, is it too late? I'm currently at 90%.
How the hell did they know you took a Tylenol the night before MEPS?
@@IamonepercentYour meps medical records goes into your military service treatment record at least they did for my navy service treatment record.
You might be able to file for aggravation unless it is noted in MEPS that you specifically had a migraine, but what you can do is say your headache got worse and became a migraine while in service. You can also make a new claim for migraine secondary to OSA.
@@member828What this guy said 👆🏾👆🏾 because if you had a preexisting condition and the military made it worse that counts to.
I have a question - I was diagnosed with IBS, but they said I received it outside of the military. How can I fight that. I do have in my medical record I had to go to the doctor a few times, but they will not grant me anything. Do I have a case?
You need to claim IBS secondary to another service connected disability if you can’t secure direct connection.
If it was during your active duty time it still is implicitly service connected. If not, then you will need a nexus letter unless you qualify under the PACT act
I got out in 2009. I just filed and got a percentage for tinnitus, and now waiting for my claim for ptsd due to mst....I dont really have any evidence except my meds im on currently and in my C and P exam i broke down and cried uncontrollably, when talking about it. Do you have any advice????
As always keep watching more of Jordan and Combat Craig on what your trying to claim. You breaking down at the C&P exam may have gotten the examiner to diagnose you. You’ll have to read the DBQ the examiner filled out and see how they rated you and if they diagnosed you.
To get your DBQs you have to request a copy of your c file if it your C&P was done by a contractor and not the VA.
It was done by a contractor, tele c and p, which I was glad about because of my episodes I couldn't drive out
@@teamnewbyfitness That’s good mines was a telehealth as well I’m still active duty. So when I read the DBQ from TRICARE online I seen the examiner checked me off for 70% mental health and gave me a diagnosis so we’ll see when the results come. But I have have my records and diagnosis all with me in a binder.
Keep me updated on how it goes for you bro I’ll be praying.
If I could afford $197.00 I would certainly use your Nexus letter template, but... you priced me out.
Hi I claim supplement claim for a secondary insomnia for tinnitus and anxiety for secondary for tinnitus I have a support claim and 3 nexus this a new claim for secondary what you think Thank
You can only be service connected for one mental disability (insomnia and anxiety) but it doesn't mean you can't file for both you'll just be service connected for one the higher of the two, if you win.
Willie is right, it’s a tad redundant but shouldn’t hurt you. I’d feel pretty good about your odds although secondary claims are never as reliable as a good old fashion primary claim. Less moving parts
Do I need to see a VA doc to get diagnosed for my headaches and insomnia
No, it doesnt have to be a VA Doctor
I put in a claim through my VSO for migraines. I have in service records about having headaches and was recently diagnosed for migraines by a Neurologist at the VA, But, my claim was denied - because I wasn't diagnosed with migraines in service. What can I do? I first received a 30% rating for Asthma and made a secondary claim for sleep apnea and now I'm at 50%
Did you have the VSO upload with your claim the documented proof that you reported your migraines while in service and your diagnosis?
Also I would use the migraine buddy app to document your migraines, print out the migraine report, write a personal statement, and get the doctor who diagnosed you to fill out a migraine DBQ and upload all of this with your claim.
@@shotgunkingj1670 Thanks for the info! I'll do that. I'm going to appeal their denial.
@@weilerenterprises2673 Yes sir you totally should don’t give up.
This is all good and well but how do let ahold of you. I have many things could be claiming give me a web site or a phone number We are both missing out of a lot of money. It should be on all your CZcams posts. 😮
do you coach long term claims ?
I’d be lying if I knew what you were referring to my friend, are you referring to static conditions?
@@vaclaimsacademy more like I’m fighting one claim. And eventually I’ll be adding secondary’s to it. So more like just long term coaching and guiding
Also can you have an 2 exact same copy paste personal statements let's say for rhinitis and sinusitis?
You can, yes
@vaclaimsacademy sweet think you. Because I literally did that with a few different things on both sinusitis and rhinitis. I didn't know how long tho. So I just put in a format that I got from multiple research and self education since asylum videos, combat craigs....Its a good 1 1/2 pages long
If you are displaying the flag behind you, it needs to be displayed the correct way!!!!
can you do a Intent To File for an Increase?
Yes
Absolutely
@vaclaimsacademy thanks!!! I am so lost trying to do a increase for my service connected mental health and knee. If I join the grandmaster will I be able to learn the process of what to do next so I can get my increase going forward? The only thing I did so far is filed for the intent to file, but I don't know what to do on the next step to let the VA know that I'm ready for a c&p exam
@@fishfever5923 read the 38cfr and the M-21 manual to know how they rate your disabilities. Then match up your symptoms to the rating you’re going for. Prepare personal and buddy statements and any extra medical evidence you have (you had better have that evidence or filing for an increase is useless). Upload everything, then wait for them to contact you for the exam. Download the DBQs they will use on you for the exams so you can anticipate what they’ll ask you. You can even have your civilian doctors look at a DBQ and fill it out in your favor but I’d say that’s not necessary. IF you DID have your own doctor fill the DBQ out then that would give your claim more weight over their C&P goons.
Once you submit your intent to file, the va will automatically schedule you for your c&p exams
no all va situations will grant a higher rating if you have sleep apneia you only get 50 precent rated i was rated at 60 precent should of been rated at 80 at first because I was given a zero precent rate for type 2 diabities on meds for it but hey I was new type 2 with oral meds is 20 precent but 12 years latter it came a bit the va in the ass I was hospilitzed with renal kidney renal failure as a result of type2 dieabietes and hypertension anyway i got back pay in the amount of 18 k
I separated from the Marine Corps with an honorable discharge after serving 12 years, I had zero clue I was eligible for anything until 2019 and I was not aware that I was eligible for any kind of VA compensation till 2022, I am so PO'd at the fact that I was struggling to make ends meet and pay my bills for over 35 years when I could have been living a relatively comfortable life for the past 35 years and while I am now aware that I am eligible for probably 100% VA disability I still have no clue how to start the paperwork to get what I am due. Does anyone have any real suggestions or help I can turn to?
Well you’re on the right track William, I would say your best next move is to get to the doctor for the things you were diagnosed with during your active duty service to update those diagnoses
Hey Marine to get help you can go to a veteran service officer called a vso or call the dav or vfw or american legion to name a few. They'll point you in the right direction. Hope this helps.
@@user-lw7ro1qe4j Pay attention, dude. VSOs are generally low-energy skeletons. Learn the process and do it yourself.
Don’t go to no dam VSO before getting educated. You don’t want someone just throwing spaghetti at the wall with your claim. I recommend ordering your c-file first. Once received, comb through it with a fine tooth comb.
Well you should've reached out and gave your 2 cents the person asking for advice; Don't wait to throw shade for someone giving advice!
Preston??? Lol
Jordan, you are named by the VA now may want to check on this. You are being labeled a VA shark.
Haha I saw that. Thanks Frankie J
Bro please say tinnitus the right way 😭😭😭
He is pronouncing it in the non-GED manner.
😂
@@RobertLinthicum bro, if you can’t get past a 10% don’t take it out on me. Some of us are trying to learn here. You Should have payed more attention at your non-GED school.
Not trying to be s***** or anything, but I think your flag is backwards.
Your flag is hanging wrong
True
True
Unpatriotic VA Claims Academy with the U.S. Flag displayed improperly
You are confusing... Last video you were blasting Private companies for charging fees and telling everyone that they charge too much.
Now you are telling us not to be cheap charlies...
Which one is it buddy?
You are boxing yourself in here.
Are you saying that we are all IDIOTS if we pay more than you charge or pay less than you charge?
Basically we should ONLY work with you because you are the best thing that has ever happened to us?
Don’t pay anything to anybody for ratings! They’re scammers operating illegally. Going to the DAV, VFW, or American Legion is legitimate.
What about SMC's
Good one Antwan, I’ll make a vid on this to make it super easy to understand
