Have you filed a PACT Act claim yet?
Etiology for JP8 JP5 findings?
Took me several filings for sleep apnea for another vet to mention ‘go for rhinitis’ and that was approved in 3 months.
I have not. I was deployed to bahrain in 1997 and kuwait in 1998. How would you go about finding a doc to go to. I have a hemroid and it want to pursue ibs. How would you go about finding a private doc?
I haven’t. I was deployed in Kuwait and Iraq. I was exposed to jet fuel on a daily basis. Idk if I should file or not, as I don’t have any conditions that I know of, but I was advised to file anyways.
Aren't we required to have a diagnosis condition for 6 + months or more plus treatments according to CFR , under the Pact Act? Then there's ❓ is a medical opinion needed? ❓What forms to file if it's A new diagnosis and we aren't SC previously for a pact act condition or we have a secondary condition now because of the Pact Act? 3rd When should a supplemental claim be filed?
just want say thank you for all information. Just got 100 p&t no vso never could get hold of one. Just me and information from your videos and couple others
I have filed my claim. Patiently waiting.
Jordan thank you for everything you do. With your tips and tools from your videos and your website, I am now at 60 percent!
Amazing job Tim! I’m so glad you’ve applied the information
I appreciate all that you do.
Just had a C&P exam today... JP-5 and AFFF have absolutely caused me to have some serious neurology conditions. I spent 20 of my 27 years on flight decks
How's claim going? I served on aircraft carrier too, Afff shop. Trying to put in a claim for issues.
Worked around aircraft and fueled equipment daily during 4 yrs in the Air Force
Me too! 10 years
@georgiagirl8734 I filed a claim using William Collins Jet Fuel Exposure Act for conditions I have been denied for years ....claim went str8 to decision phase...denial was due to a nexus so time will tell if I need more
Great Pact Act info..
Excellent video
i was an ABF and needed this video
Me too I’m at 80 and fighting for my 100
I was exposed to many toxic chemicals during service as a Jet Engine Mech on the USS Ranger. We mech's had chemicals on our clothes/bodies all the time (JP fuels, TEC, MEK, Freon, Eng oils, Hydraulic fluids, AFFF and asbestos to name a few). We had JP in the ships freshwater supply all the time. Thus we had to drink and shower in it. I filed for two claims related to hearing loss and Diabetics issues. Was denied at first. Filed for HLR review. HLR agreed that VA caused an error. VA Lawyer found in my records hearing loss each year after audio tests plus C&P Exam people did not take in effect my toxic exposures. Many toxic chemicals do indeed effect both hearing loss and diabetic issues. As of 6/20/2024 it has been in HLP status for almost a year. Currently I am at 90% with these two claims in work.
Which Ranger cruise had the JP-5 contamination in the water?
@robertlucke4132 I was ships company as a AIMD Jet Engine Mech 1976 to 1980. So we had it all the time while out to sea. Including all the other Chemicals we used. Plus in dry dock in Bermerton Wash for almost a year. All kinds of crap there too.
@@jamesmanuel9938 I believe it was like that on the USS.Cleveland on my float in the 80s. I was on the Ranger on its last ride in 92.
@@jamesmanuel9938 Did you file toxic exposure as to the chemicals used daily and did you present any studies related to health issues?
Yes I did.
Dropping knowledge on a Sunday.
Cheers to you. Enjoy your Sunday 🫡
Between jet fuel, chemical, radiation exposure and burn pit I'm pretty much living on borrowed time, damn
I served in the army at Ft Lewis, WA I was deployed to Mt
St Helens in 1980 post eruption without personal protection equipment in toxic ash exposure. Have you heard anything on this?
Jordan, Gulf war veteran here... I was diagnosed with Chronic Bronchitis by my personal DR.(2017) Chronic Bronchitis is considered a presumptive condition from the Pact Act that was signed into law. I was in the areas(Persian Gulf) that was considered presumptive within the right time frame(1991According to everything I've read about the Pact Act). Is a diagnosis with my personal records enough to get service connected. I've been reading where people is getting denied in this same presumptive situation. Just want to make sure that they have enough info to service connect me before I submit my claim. I have already started an intent to file. I'm currently @ 20%. Thanks for any info.
We need a personal statement for a presumptive? I have a diagnosis shouldn’t that be good enough?
Questions? I served in the US Navy and deployed during Enduring Freedom 100 miles from afghanistan we support the army,marines, and special forces that aboard in our ship that time. 2001 and 2002 thats consider we on the area of afghanistan ? I'm an Aviation Electronic Technician. Also during the war for Iraq 2003 deployed near Iraq.
Didn't the ships Moore anchor at the ports? Bahrain & Yemen for refueling
Hi sir sounds fantastic but my claim presumptive conditions take too long please VA help me.
what if you are already 0% for asthma and chronic multi symptom . Does signing up for the pact act actually worth it in my case as I already have a covered disability even though it is 0%
My ITF ends June I haven't completed any forms I went to VSO I was told to file for increase for back When I asked about filling for presumptive conditions No response I don't know what to do! I have med records from private Dr butDo not have statement at least likely than not I'm afraid I'll lose out
Gulf war vet. Exposed to burn pits. Had melanomas cancer,do i have a case under the pac act?
What about mucmi causing gout. I've got out of the navy in 08 at 25 years old and got gout at 30. Work in fuels (ABF) and no one in my family has ever had .
Jordan, I still don't understand this. If you served at this place at this time, is that enough, or do you have to know about the existence of burn pits where you were, or see them personally?
What about experimental anthrax shots from back in 2000? Any possible claims from that?
Nope, nothing for the malaria experiment either.
@@southpaw-777I got IBS related to Malaria when I was in from 08-12
I was a mechanic and inhaled diesel fumes and worked with solvents all day every day while active duty. Now got sinus problems and headaches all the time. Can I claim sinusitis or allergic rhinitis and directly service connect it to my MOS as mechanic?
There is no credit at VO or Agent in the state of Arizona. None of them know how to file for a free lunch.
💯💯💯💯
How do you get a Nexus letter?
Thank you for the information. I currently have no polyps, but a Cyst
Was found as well as a Deviated Septumduring the Catscan. In your opinion is there a chance of better than a 0% rating?
Thanks
Deviated septum is a great condition to win Sleep Apnea as a secondary to. You can get 10% for DS if both nasal cavities are blocked 50% or one is blocked 100% of the way.
How do you file without any evidence or symptoms? I was in some of these areas and exposed to certain things
I wonder if brain aneurysms can be covered under Mucmi ? The VA is currently treating me since 2022
Currently at rated at 90%, was an open turret gunner for 10 months 08-09 in Iraq. Need a cpap to sleep. Should I file?
Look at JP-7 additives and see what you missed.
I got denied for a claim for asthma and i do get prescriptions for asthma. I was a fueler and i worked with JP8 fuel to fuel 5 tons trucks and a bunch of stuff that was needed to fuel almost everything. I started fueling al kinds of different birds in Iraq during OIF 2008-2009. I was a MOS Petroleum Supply Specialist.
that is crazy , you are really exposed to fuels. Did you fileas an PACT ACT?
@@rickkane8043no, I didn't file for the Pact Act .
file again and also ask for advice to write it up better with 'key' terminology also find a doctor to write you up something civilian side helps telling them hey I need some help here to get my benefits but i need professional proof that i have a condition. Let em know you have to be your own lawyer here and they should help
@@whiskey4609thanks for responding to my message on here . I can see how these videos on CZcams is really reaching out to other veterans and or civilians that did work on military ships and in general. This is the video that we as veterans are helping each other. We have been cheated over the years for our benefits .
I have a question. Can I go to college using GI bill if I am on TDIU? I can’t find anything that says no.
I think so cause education benefits is different from your disability benefits. I will apply for tdiu cause I cant work as an electrician no more because of health issue and I will go back to school using my post 9-11 GI bill and I applied for VRE.
If I had an toxic exposure screening at the va hospital and the pcm noted jp-8/burn pits, is that enough or do I need to go through the actual registry thing?
100% do the registry! It’s a pain but you need to sign up for it.
Do the registry as well. This way, you're in the system. CYA.
where is this registry? I just started my claim for pact act but looks like its same as doing a normal claim.
Jet fuel claims?
I need some help on this. I have already sat down with the VA and fillled out the PACT ACT paperwork and turned it in. I have not heard anything back from the VA regarding status of my PACT ACT submission
Did you file a claim? The VA medical side is not going to tell the VBA side. You have to file claim. I did the same PACT and TERA questions at the VA medical center.
Agree with @johnandstephanie377 make sure you file a claim
funny how they done even mention Anthrax as if they never involuntary made us take these shots or worse ro get kicked out the military
and small pox haha i remember how useless that was, like didn't we figure saddam didn't have wmds we sold him? lmao he musta used it all before we got there on the kurds and Iranians haha.
🛩️ ⛽️
How about AFFF exposure? Dealt with it in training and in actual use.
They approved mine for bladder cancer.
Sorry you experienced that. How's it going?
Afff what is that?
What's that
@@gracesmith9125 Aqueous Film Forming Foam - a firefighting agent, especially around aircraft / feul.
No VA or civilian doctor in my area will do an Nexxus letter DBQ anything they’re so checking out the VA did they won’t do it.
I’m sorry to hear that, it’s no wonder the paid nexus letter services are getting away with such crazy prices, we’re pretty much a captive audience when that happens
What's the liklihood of getting a percentage rating for rhinitis. I had burn pits
Depends on the severity, do u have polyp?
@@jollygreen4662 no pollyp just obstruction when I sleep and runny nose
how about TERA claims? I never deployed but inhaled BALL propellant mortar charge gases while in the Army 11C
Mortarmen usually get TBI from the out going blast
4 deuce mortars

@@jollygreen4662 I just filed yesterday for TBI....waiting on a TBI assessment from the VA.
@@jollygreen4662 how do you get tbi claim from this? you need a doctor note saying you have legit tbi? i've been in so many mortar shoots, rocket shoots, demo ranges. But I don't think I have tbi symptoms yet, do you file anyway?
First!
Im already maxed out on my rating with P & T with IU . That pays me at a 💯 % . Is to bad i cant file for a Pact Act . Or can i ? 🤔
Yes you can file for a Pact Act related condition and I suggest you do so in order to start getting treatment if for no other reason.
My PACT ACT TERA Claim that was FDC took the VA 158 days to rate and I got a 0%😂😂😂😂
try again man, get help to write the claim up better you need to add the lingo and key words to help your case. doctor notes also help from a professional saying you have xyz condition. sorry to hear, but don't quit now other people have gotten it for less.
What treatment the VA stop treating me five years ago, they were refused to send me to civilian doctors and they refused to treat me and the veterans hotline and Congress and senators. Allow them to get away with it..
@vaclaimsacademy where is this registry? I just started my claim for pact act but looks like its same as doing a normal claim.
