Jordan, just hit 100% the other day as grandmaster member. Thank you so much for your great business. All said and done I was at 260% to truly get that 100. A lot of work but your program helped me go from 70-100. Thanks bro
Since my PCP has refused to send me to the clinics I need I called the PACT office at the VA. The lady there said if I have the symptoms to file. I have a C&P with full exam and xrays week after next. The VAMC isn't making this any easier and you would think that if you are trying to get into ENT and you've already been diagnosed with excessive apnea and chronic fatigue, that the PCP would send you to any of those clinics... But no. That intent to file is very very important. It's a year back pay if you get approved on your claim and it's an increase.
I went back and forth for months with the VA hospital over getting a diagnoses and finally they said to submit a claim and have the C & P examiner do it. I submitted a claim and they should have contacted me by now for a C & P exam. They said two business days.
My wife's intent to file for the pact act expired today so the she needs to start from scratch. I was able to submit mine before the deadline today. Im currently at 80% and have been denied the last two claims for my knee neck and migraines.
Wish I saw this video before I filled. Wrote a personal statement but didn’t mention my year long exposure to burnpits in Iraq because I assumed they knew about it and can look it up easily…I’m realizing we shouldn’t give the VA any credit haha
@@vaclaimsacademy thanks for the response! Submitted my first claim 3 months ago and so far crickets… your videos have been insanely helpful. Keep doing what you do for our community!💪🏼
I was a firearms instructor for 19 years. The PACT listed lead exposure as one of the toxins exposed to. I have plenty of documentation proving how often I was at the gun range. What would I need from a doctor? Or is what I have sufficient?
Im getting the run around on getting my medical records. I go to one place, they tell me to go another place, then that place tells me to go to the place I was at before. Its frustrating.
The exact same thing happen to me I had to request my records 5 times before I finally got them, I would make a copy of each letter they sent me and resend them with a copy of my DD 214, don’t give up.
If you have medical records, military or VAMC, you can go to your local state VA and request a FOIA and get everything the VA has, which will include all military records and VAMC records. If you only want military records and they are "recorded" then you can get those from NORA ( National Records Archive. ) Some records might not be available if you are old enough that they were stored in one of the archives that burned down or you are a special case, like mine, where records are kept by a 3rd party and unavailable to anyone. In that case the best you got is a Certificate of Service, which I got from Congress, and it will only show you served. Bubby records, which I use, are also a best bet.
I will never get diagnosed ive had acute bronchitis for a year now. Ive been to the VA 5 times for it. My last appointment they said i have to exercise more.
A toxic exposure screening? What do they test for? It is well known that Lackland AFB had asbestos in the barracks at the time I was there for boot camp and Kessler AFB the 10 months I was there, but no cancer. Can I do anything?
What if I went to the hospital for breathing in a burning battery in the back of an LMTV?, as well as a Humvee that caught fire and breathed in the smoke.
I wasn’t in the gulf war or near burn pits, but I was at a base that I had to constantly go through X-ray machines to get to my post and top side was nothing but dust sand and wind storms. Would I be a candidate for the pact act. Acute bronchitis is in my records
I have that noted in my notes but made sure to mention the recent aggravation in symptoms or that they are chronic now after your exposure. I filed my claim almost 3 months ago for rhinitis… so far just crickets
Has the VA approved claims for migraines tied to burn pit exposure? Am already rated for sinusitis through the PACT Act, as well as tinnitus. Wondering if it would be worth trying to obtain a nexus linking the exposure in conjunction with tinnitus for migraines?
Nope, only headaches via Gulf War, which was denied. I have severe Migraines and am about to go on injections due to blackouts and other bad issues. I have tried tying it to Tinitus and PTSD as well and all were denied. Hope you have better luck.
I submitted, and was approved 50 percent, for “migraines due to Gulf War presumptive”. Got out in 2002 and did NOT have any medical documentation in service. I did have documentation for headaches for the past couple of years from the VAMC, so I submitted those, along with a personal statement that outlined everything, as well a migraine log. They originally gave me service connected at 0 percent, but I applied for an HLR because it didn’t seem like they looked at my migraine log. Few months later, boom, 50 percent!
I have had my PACT ACT claim in for over one year. They just say editing for information. I 90% disabled and need this final rating. How do I move it to conclusion?
I started the online application so I have the intent to file. I didn't see in the application where you let the VA know that this is a PACT act claim?

Pact office at the Va? I’ve been having the same issues. Now I gotta query that one, thanks !😎

That's one hell of a link. It took me a while. Thanks for the information 👍.

Haha no worries, hopefully you get a good rating team, but spoon feeding them will indeed produce more consistently favorable results

Incredibly frustrating… I’m guessing you’re going between the national archives and the VA records center

When Filing Under The Pact Act, Is It Advisable To Mention If Allergies & Sinus Issues Were An Issue, Before Service Time? Thank You!
I have that noted in my notes but made sure to mention the recent aggravation in symptoms or that they are chronic now after your exposure. I filed my claim almost 3 months ago for rhinitis… so far just crickets

@@ivumh593 Migraine log? just a personal calendar of dates you had them? or is this something official
I have had my PACT ACT claim in for over one year. They just say editing for information. I 90% disabled and need this final rating. How do I move it to conclusion?
How can I get out of my va claims insider contract ? I haven’t gotten any increases from them yet ..
how do I sign up for your services?
I got zero rated for sinusitis.
I have 30%, make an appointment with the VA and speak to the pain etc that it is causing - ask for medication.
I started the online application so I have the intent to file. I didn't see in the application where you let the VA know that this is a PACT act claim?
Write a personal statement and say that this disability is PACT act presumptive disability
The VA took my diagnosis date of march 2024 as my effective date instead of a of intent to file date of Nov 2023😢😢😢
Always a heartbreaker, you may need to file a notice of disagreement if they got your date mixed up
