    SUPPLEMENTAL CLAIM FORM (20-0995) www.vba.va.gov/pubs/forms/vba...
    If you're a veteran whose VA disability claim has been denied, don't despair! In this video, we'll reveal why a denial could actually be a normal step on the path to getting your claim approved. We'll walk you through the process of analyzing your VA decision letter to identify the reason behind your denial, which could be one of three things:
    Insufficient evidence provided by the veteran (best resolved with a supplemental claim)
    Errors made by the compensation and pension examiner (also best addressed with a supplemental claim)
    Mistakes made by the VA rater (in this case, a higher level review is the optimal course of action)
    By understanding the reason for your denial and taking the appropriate steps, you can significantly increase your chances of ultimately getting your VA disability claim approved.
    Don't let a denial deter you from pursuing the benefits you've earned through your service. Watch this video to gain a deeper understanding of the VA disability claims process and learn effective strategies for overcoming a denial.

    They recognized my service connection for back injury but denied benefits, also denied Timitus as " hearing loss" prior to service, I didn't develop ringing/ buzz in ears until almost 6 months after leaving flight line to ship Deck Dept

    Spot on as usual! I recently did an HLR informal conference because the examiner based their decision on the wrong evidence I brought forward for the claim. I spoke with a senior rater, and she agreed that they made a mistake. I got the favorable rating! This was due to a strong personal statement and an amazing Nexus provided on your website (which i revised)!

    What do you do if the VA rater goes against the C&P exam opinion that states “you have a diagnosis of the claimed condition & the nexus is established” then the rater still denies the claim!?! It’s like they totally ignored the rater’s opinion! Are there any regulations in 38CFR like under the “Duty to Assist” that covers BS like this?

    Since FOIA requests take 6-8 months and alot of these claims are getting banged out in 3-6, would you say that it may not be necessary to get CFILE since the raters feedback will probably tell us whether we need a supplemental for a new DBQ, or an HLR etc?

  • @patrickhoward4080
    @patrickhoward4080 Před 2 měsíci +1

    Are these C&P examiners typically told to reject claims by their superiors? Like…to find any tiny reason to reject it and reject the claim? It seems the examiner is so vital and if they are biased toward denial…which could be the reason why so many vets get denied all the fringin time

    SSi diagnosed me in 2017 with Trauma and Stressor Disorder, Anxiety Disorder and I was awarded SSDI. A VA Psychologist in San Francisco during therapy diagnosed me in 2020 with C-PTSD and major depression and wrote me a Nexus letter stating my C-PTSD IS service connected from 1975. Filed an" Intent to File" in 2020 thru a VSO that screwed it up. Waited over two years for a C&P exam. I had a Video C&P exam with a Doctor here in the Philippines where I live on my $800 a month SSI in Dec. 2023. The Doctor here didn't go over my DBQ or DSM-5 (rated at 60) from my Psychologist in the US. His only interest was my childhood which I explained was a normal upbringing in a Military family. The Dr conclusion was "NO Medical Opinion". WTF does that mean? I thought the reason for a C&P exam was for A medical opinion.
    What can I expect now??

    Greetings Legend here is some info about why third parties examiners can't release a copy of the c&p exam to the veteran - in the third party contracts it states that the C&P exam is not a medical exam it's a legal document therefore the veterans got to file a foyer request - The VA contract is violating the HIPPA law the law states 3 business days or 30 days at the most - Funny how the VA uses the 30 day for a VA employee c&p examiner also the VA health care system releases your doctor notes in 36 hours after being completed -
