Very professional and very well done. This video packs a punch of information and clarification. A lot of tips and insight that you provide is priceless. You guys have a world you have a volume of knowledge and anyone that you represent I would surely say is in fantastic hands.
@@1kenpachi210 I had the similar situation before like what you have with the left and right hip. It was also deferred but most of the time when the VA have to defer something I was seeing and I knew I had to do a little bit more on my claim because most of the time they will come back with not service-related or claim denied. I went and got fresh x-rays and also the diagnosis of my x-rays was well explained and also I got a letter from a certified orthopedic. I was granted 20% for the left hip and 30% for the right hip. I hope this helps and don't stop fighting👍
The State VA Accredited Veteran Service Officers (VFW, American Legion, DAV etc) can help all veterans out with filing claims and getting information and records. They are also free of charge.
Lost records...appeal.....remand....deferral...2 FOIAs.....6 C&P/2 DBQ and 7 years later many of my claims were just sitting there....called the White House Veterans hotline and now I'm getting a partial award for those claims that are complete......All the missing medical records that the VA could not find, I found in my C/File ....this happened twice. I could not find anyone to represent me....I've been on SSDI this whole time and I have finally received 10% 10% 20% and 70%....don't know how to file TDIU
Not sure where your located but witchita kansas va has the vso regional headquarters for all of them. The guys that go yearly and learn in DC. Get with vfw or dav and they can find you a good vso. Missing medical records seem to always pop up always get a copy every visit and submit with your claim
Claim submitted a year ago. Did my C&P exams in October '19. Last change was 5-6 months ago. Been in "499" waiting on service treatment records. Does this normally take 5-6 months? I don't understand how.
Michael, how do a contact you? I submitted a fully developed claim for OSA that the VA denied. C&P was performed by a contractor who spent less than 15 minutes on the phone.
The VA requested my disability medical records from the SSA. I have never filed for disability with the SSA. What is the reason the VA would do that? I did apply for IU and currently rated at 90%.

@@commonsensepatriot9450 Then get with the VFW rep. Or American Legion rep. They know more than outside lawyers. Also, with covid, not all the VSO's are working in their offices at the VA. I am a VSO. I should also point out that the veteran also has to stay on top of what is going on too by getting in touch with the VSO on a regular basis

Claims would be smoother if voetnam veterans of America would do their job. Not go on the news and say we have to many so we just deny 80% they need to do their job correctly not just be douchbags
Thanks for watching with us today, please leave us your questions or comments here!
Thank you so much for explaining the VA Disability Claims Process! This is incredibly helpful for my military retirement planning.
Thank you guys. What does a status of “claim status is closed now”. Following evidence gathering and C&P exam?

I've got right and left "hip strain" deferred by VA. What does that mean and what should I expect or do?

How long was it for you ?

What actual help or assistance do you actually provide us veterans with? All i see is "Contact your vso". What use is that?
The State VA Accredited Veteran Service Officers (VFW, American Legion, DAV etc) can help all veterans out with filing claims and getting information and records. They are also free of charge.
So VA is just an employment opportunity for those that work at the va - does not really help vets only until they are at their deathbed
We closed the notice for Request 7. What does mean?
All Bs meaning they didnt look for your information. They want you to send in to them. They are lazy as Hell but make over 100k a year. smh.

What ever happened to this? At 6 months now after C&P for one contention. The other 3 i've heard nothing. What happened with you?
I'm on day 565 since I first filed.
The VA website says the average wait is 131.5 days. Safe to assume that they are lying?
Michael, how do a contact you? I submitted a fully developed claim for OSA that the VA denied. C&P was performed by a contractor who spent less than 15 minutes on the phone.
@@realchris3472 tell me about it 😑
Awesome video! Than you!
Could a claim that was denied for tremors possibly be secondary connected to Tinnitus?

Where is your firm located or can you assist Veterans from every state?
We are located in Providence, Rhode Island, but have the capacity to assist Veterans nationwide.
