Had to look up the image search and chuckled 😂
@@vaclaimsacademybro you serious? Jordan love is a dawg! Time to be a packers fan now! We will welcome you
Lmao Jordan Love 😅😅
Whoa!

I recently got increased from 30-70% on my PTSD, that and a couple other increase got me from 80%-100% P&T, so worth it🙏🏻
Good shit bro
Congratulations!
These videos got me to 90%. Now, I'm shooting that magic 100%. I have ten different finding, PTSD is only 30% the others are 10-20% with two being a found condition at 0%. Keep up the good work.
That’s awesome to hear Rod! Think I’m gonna make a video soon for folks like you, how to get over that 90% hump
@@vaclaimsacademyplease do cus I’m at 90% and I’m fighting to get that final 10% 😊
This is definitely the most helpful channel on RUclips, no fear mongering no complaining - straight to the point and very detailed. Your free guidance helped me go from 0 to 70 percent with 0 dollars spent.
I went for a increase I filed on a wednsday and had my c&p the next monday and went from 50 % to 70% in 15 days by letting it all out to him the paperwork came after I went to the c&p
Were you going to counseling at the time you reopened the claim? Or did you go to counseling before hand? I’m curious if I should go to counseling first or just submit a personal statement, I’m currently at 50% for ptsd and most definitely be at least 70%.
@@certsxinst55 I see a psychiatrist every 90 day's and have for the last 8 years
@@certsxinst55 the va is using a new form 21-0781 is the new form for ptsd
@@certsxinst55 it's definitely better to have a paper trail that you have been attending counseling for your issues. I filed an increase a couple weeks ago and have my C&P tmrw morning. I have been going to substance abuse groups at the VA as well as doing EMDR therapy with a counselor there as well
Same for me!@@certsxinst55
Your info is so welcomed. Thank you.
Wow, thank you so much. My c&p exam is scheduled for 3 weeks from now with Telehealth. I will definitely fill out a personal statement and make the bullet points card.
Perfect advice and instruction on how to put this together for submission. Thank you!
Your channel has been the most helpful I have seen. Thank you for your time and energy to provide us veterans with courage to pursue the benefits we deserve. my buddies have also found value in the information you provide.
I have watched so many videos, and I am currently waiting on a decision. I wish I would have seen this before I submitted anything!! I will definitely be suggesting Jordan to my fellow Battle Buddies!!!
I for years had 50% with adjustment disorder, recently was upgraded to 70% PTSD. No nexus letters or anything other than VA files
I just did a c&p exam today and found out I was diagnosed in service with adjustment disorder and the c&p examiner told me I have major depressive disorder currently
@@Roaddog223How long before you get the results?
@@RobertBallz I’m not sure my friend said his took 6 months after DBQs were submitted but I’ve also read it depends on your rater and could take 1-12 months
@@Roaddog223 So what percentage are you hoping for?
@@RobertBallz my claim took less than two months I got 90% for back pain, sciatica, headaches, and mental health. I was denied 4 others. I’m going to request a sleep study and see if I have sleep apnea secondary to MH
How did you know I zoned out? Thanks for this video. I have been procrastinating doing my VA disability, most likely due to anxiety and avoidance. Thanks for this video!
I have 80% total and one 70% mental illness I make a claim for a TDIU and I have a DBQ from my Psychology
I also have SSS for deshabilite. Of PTSD and depression
Awesome video. Thank you Jordan 🫡
SOS SOS and Thank you .Sir !!
I don’t know what you get paid but I know it will be $500 more when I get my records in. So thankful that I found you BEFORE I get out and file my claim. Thank you!
Go get em! 🫡
THANK YOU!
OUTSTANDING
Hello Jordan, I hope you are doing well. Good info and Great information. Thank You!
@moparheatman I hope you’re doing the same my friend, thank you for the kind words. Crisp salute to you
Question off topic. I’ve been to a chiropractor for about 4yrs now to treat sciatica. PCP says I also need to start seeing an orthopedic. For possible surgery. Would I need a nexus from both, chiropractor and ortho? Or can chiropractic be good enough? Thanks. Great videos
I let my private doc independent medical opinion speak for me and not write a personal statement. Worked very time😊
Nice BigTime! Always good to see you
Great information
Jordan, if my c&p exam was downplayed and has the 30% box checked, will my personal statement help me get a higher rating if the rater agrees and is also matches my medical records ? I did a BDD claim.
There was no mention of a Nexus letter, so would I need one or not? It seems that filing a supplemental claim for an increase would suffice, as long as I include a personal statement.
Thanks Jordan 👍🏽💯
You got it Marlon!
Thanks
Good info thanks 💪🏿
You bet Dennis
Why is your video length at 13:13? Weird. Other than that - always good info for us Vets! Appreciate you!
Thank you, glad it’s helping
Vets like me put all the rating critera in our personal statement that is minimum 70% and tell the C&P examnier the same things but still get rated at 50%. Sometimes it doesn't matter, the VA rater just low balls you. For instance, i should be minimum 50% for IBS and Gerd based on symptoms and personal statement and what I said at CP expam. But the rater gave me 10%... So frustrating.
Keep fighting, get Drs appointments for the same conditions over and over. I know it sucks and takes time but it's worth it in the end. Talk to the benefits advisor inside your local VA and ask him questions. He will look into your med file and square you away. Set up appointment with VSO so they can help you submit your claims. If you don't currently have an intent to file, do it now and start making appointments. Everything you tell them has to involve your service. ( When I was in military, deployed etc . Always.
@@faronhemlock thank you for the reply brother 🙏 amazing advice
Do a higher level review, this is what helps when raters mess up.
Would be really helpful for a 70-100 if possible. Thanks
Can you do a video on the schedule of rating? Can my VA treatment be used to increase my claim? Thanks.
I used nothing but going to the VA as my primary care and went from a 0 to 70, no nexus just personal statements tying in my treatment - prescriptions - symptoms etc. Be very careful what you say during your appointments, if you pull your VA medical record you can see that the doctors type everything you say and how you appear - never say you are doing good, you are never good as you have so many different disabilities that you can never become a normal persona again.
@@raiderjedi4160 thank you so much. I have for example varicose veins, no family history, and I asked my VA primary care if he could give a medical opinion that it could be from service and he said he is not allowed to do it. How were you able to leverage your current VA primary care for the increase. Thanks for the response.
@@danielmchugh8231 I never got any letters from my doctor, I wrote a personal statement (va form) and included when I reported to the VA to be seen.
I filed a personal statement, had a DBQ filled out by psychologist that suggested a higher rating, C&P examiner looked at my last low balled last DBQ, and I still got continued for my low balled rating.
How recent was this?
@@BallinOutOfControl08 2 weeks ago
@@michaelstandefer9169 C &P guy just refused the new evidence? I come with a binder of what i submitted & go over it with them. Dont let them just run over you without going through everything. It's your money at stake. I just did C&P three weeks ago for SMC claim & got awarded within a week.Also only took me less than 6 months from my intent to file to get rated 100% cuz of all the info i presented. It was my first time filing after seperating from service 15 years ago. You can do this too.
HLR
@@KingSixburgh I did supplemental and gave them more evidence while they still low balled me
Would the letter cause another C&P for the increase? Thanks
Do you recommend getting lay statements from spouse and or friends that have seen evidence of MH decline?
I submitted 2 from my sister and aunt and it helped me
@@Roaddog223 did you file those at the same time as your claim? Did your family fill out form 4138 also?
@@mgarcia2883 I had them fill out Va form 21-10210 I submitted both statements on behalf of mental health before my c&p exam but not the same time I submitted the claim because I didn’t find out about it till after I submitted it
Hey Brother, looking for some hope…I got back from Iraq deployment in 2020 put in my claim for lower back and PTSD April of this year. I was in the IRR for 3 years trying to get back in the fight but after realizing I couldn’t I filed for the claim. I am worried it is too late for me. I filed with two sick call slips for my back injury but not much more and recent MRI results. Do you think I have a shot? I also submitted my diagnosis for PTSD and meds. All this was done this year and I really didn’t have anything in service paperwork wise other then two sick call slips for back injury I am just scared that I waited too long.
❤Heard if you do intent to file and have a compensation and pension exam done in phillipines, the philipino doctors are more favorable than usa doc exams. Also, va Manila regional office rates claims quickly because low case load. When I was in phillipines there were many companies and and veterans that say getting va claims approved in Phillipines is easier and quicker than usa is this true?😊
I have heard that from numerous clients in the Philippines so it’s either true or just a really widespread rumor
I don’t have a mental rating but I’m currently being seen for PTSD and insomnia by a therapist at the VA. What help do I need?
I would like to know this answer also.
Good info brother. I got a low MH rating but had documents, nexus letter, and DBQ that should've got me a higher rating. I'm within a year of decision, should I file a HLR and argue my evidence?
If you are confident you meet the criteria do a higher level review immediately
@@Boxdude8409 does it say you have suicidal thoughts on your DBQ from your c&p exam
Hey Jordan what should I do if I got service connected for GERD 0% with an effective date in 2023 but rated with the new GERD criteria?
You’re under the 2023 criteria, your date says it. You need medical evidence, like a prescription etc - I go to the VA to build up my evidence, some people prefer private.
is a Mst claim and Combat ptsd claim considered the same? would those both be 2 seperate ratings?
They are rated under mental health. Doesn’t matter which one u use
SOS still at 40%😡
👍
I submitted for an increase and followed these steps. The C&P and DBQ for the VA examiner demonstrates I meet at least the 70% for PTSD. Don’t know what that rater was about…. I have just submitted an HLR, your thoughts 🫡
