Is Sciatica a form of radiculopathy? Or is that separate condition?
Hello! Yes it is a form of radiculopathy. And yes sciatic nerve conditions do have their own diagnostic codes! The sciatic nerve is rated under diagnostic codes 8520, 8620, and 8720. Have a great day!
More likely than not.
Do most rating decision letters include this kind of verbiage? My most recent decision letter from last year doesn’t have this kind of language anywhere on the DBQs. Neither the claims that were approved and the ones that were denied

My Evidence Appeal was submitted to BVA on December 31, 2020. I have 7 issues on this appeal. The status changed to A judge is reviewing your appeal on April 9, 2024 and the status continues to remain the same to this date. I have called VA on a regular weekly bases to only hear the same script- we are working on your appeal as quickly and accurately as possible, please verify your mailing and email address to ensure we have the correct information. Is it that they are so short staffed that it is taking so long? How long does it take a judge to review the issues and make a decision on my case? Evelyn Denise Nance

I have PTSD, no doubt about it. I was a witness to and subjected to brutal assault and other torturious methods while training in the military. The company was even court-martialed for abuse. The worse that came from this wasn't actually the abuse but the military taking away my opportunity to grow amongst a military career. I seriously believe if I had gone through a fair experience I would've not been injured and not sent out on medical and would've served my term, or even retired from the military in 2021.
Thank you, greatly appreciated
Thank you
It is simple when rated Totally and Permanently rated 100%. IF rated 100% without the totally and permanently words it is temporary
Good I’m in a boat I didn’t file till 2022. All denied. Later I did get hearing aids but now have gut and GERD issues and will be having my esophagus stretched for the 2nd time this year. Pancreas does not work or only at a minimal. Have to take enzymes every meal. But the gut dr won’t say agent orange. Because other patients have same disorder and we’re not in Vietnam. Ten year submarine veteran on old diesel boats and exposed to various chemicals in ten years and several visits to muddy water in Southeast Asia. My son in law told me to contact you about veteran’s lawyers. That settle when claim comes in on percentage of back pay.

How to get a Tera ! Haven’t heard of that!What is it
Toxic exposure risk activity, or TERA, is defined as “any activity that requires a corresponding entry in an exposure tracking record system, or that VA determines qualifies for purposes of this subsection when taking into account what is reasonably prudent to protect the health of veterans.” This exposure tracking record system refers to government programs that will track how service members or veterans have been exposed to various occupational or environmental hazards.

I've been struggling with the VA since 1983. Despite filing claims in 2014 and 2020, I was denied. Instead, I was granted a 30% disability rating for a scar on my forehead. I now have a 90% disability rating, but I believe I should have been rated at 90% back in 1983 due to the impact on my well-being and my demotion in rank.

I have had 30 plus years of issues with Kidney stones. I only this week found out that I could have claimed kidney stones as a presumptive within 1 year of separation. I obviously had no idea about this and am currently recovering from my latest bout. I am seeing a nephrologist right now and he is trying to figure out why I am producing so many stones. After 30 plus years is it to late to file a claim? I am concerned that this could turn into kidney disease. Let me also add that I was on Camp Lejune in 1984 for 10 weeks.

Why is it only film? My daughter had big beautiful white teeth- 4 years later after using this medication she has to have all teeth removed. 😢
Great video except it didn’t say anything about increasing your rating. It just said that it’s possible but unlikely and that’s the end of it. It didn’t help you find a way to boost your own disability rating the whole video to the point where she said that it’s basically in a nutshell strict. Almost impossible to get higher rating than 10%.
I means two 50%
I have three 50%, one 40% and three 10% .

You fail to mention that new (or overlooked) evidence cannot be entered at the CAVC level (even if that was what you were trying to enter at the lower court). It can apparrently only decide if a mistake can be made..

Why do all these VA claim YT channels have to read a script? It’s very distracting… makes me think they do not know the material
If you are putting out information, it is more important to relay it correctly, rather than trying to memorize it. There are countless policies, regulations, court cases, etc., and it is irrational to expect someone to memorize everything-especially because it changes.
