ya dude its really fucked up, you submit paperwork and wait a year for a reply thats say please send these forms then wait another year. sent all the shit they wanted then totally forgot. year later they wanted more paperwork and I forgot about it again and gave up on it. 2 years later I got a letter that said they lost my entire case please resubmit, I finally found a person here that actualy knew what I needed and she put an entire package together for me, I didnt expect anything to happen at this time but after a year of waiting they scheduled me to see their doctors for a re-evaluation and they said I would get approved during my visit, so I waited almost a year again and one day out of the blue BAM! a check for almost $18K arrived 6 years of back pay7 years, holy shit
well I was trying to get my back at the time but I figured I would go for the slam dunk that only got me 20%that's it for 6 yrs?!?
hubs is 60% service connected-herniated disc and back strain, dislocated shoulder with nerve damage (dangled from a troop strap bouncing off the bumper of a humvee while taking small arms fire- could have been worse- dude next to him in the humvee was cut in two by an rpg) and nasal polyps- pollution from burnt trash and oil fields
what he is flagged for over and over and over for in his records but they absolutely will not acknowledge or treat in anyway is a TBI and PTSD - he literally fails every one of their questionnaires and its like they just couldn't care less if he goes and visits a mall with an uzi because of it, hell years back the IRR tried recalling and reclassing him as infantry (he was a combat engineer, not a big stretch) with the 60% rating. I buried them with paperwork till they tapped out and removed him from the IRR.
how did you get them rated without a service connection? what were they if you dont mind tellingYeah im 80% and my wife is 100%. I did for sure, but these were issues i hadnt ever seen a doc for

Because the military cant prove you had it before the military if there arent any medical documents showing you got care before the military so they assume that the mil caused itI'm gonna do a sleep study, how did you get that connected?
