Winning VA Disability Rating for Migraines

[@betzaidarubio6827]

I used to get migraines 4 times a week or 3 times a day and nothing helped me but prayed to God with all my heart and Glory to God 3 years of migraines free 😊😊

[@NJFireBuff]

What kind of doctor should I be seeing? I’ve been to the ent and just complained that my tinnitus is accompanied by bad headaches. I’ve also kept a headache log, is this going to be enough for a rating? I just separated from active service a couple months ago. Can’t the C&P also just write me up for headaches if I tell him my headaches are really bad with the ringing in my ears

[@sandratanner4470]

It's a shame that even when you meet all VA's requirements, evaluated by their people for Migraine TDIU they still deny claims. I had to hire a lawyer to get approved! Save yourself years of jumping through VA hoops and give the % to the lawyer to push VA to do the right thing, totally worth using a professional! Good luck fellow suffers!

@@uppercumberlanddrone4164 I went and my VSO sat on scanning in my medical records for 2 months. I finally retrieved them and filed my first claim by myself. I understand that I'm not the only Vet needing assistance but to just sit on paperwork and later not being truthful of the status is wrong

[@eduardoxanchez2870]

Please can you take the time to explain how one can file a claim for sleep apnea as secondary to TBI? Everyone always talks about sleep apnea as secondary to PTSD but never secondary to TBI and migraines. This would be much appreciated.

[@piezoman79]

Not to point out the obvious, but you’d file it the same way as any secondary condition. As long as you can provide or demonstrate a medical nexus between diagnosed conditions A and B that’s all you need.

[@kyanpepper92teller97]

No body ever mentions how to get services connection if you have no medical records from when you were in service .

Thank you

[@jackierobertson1528]

Can a veteran claim TDIU and get awarded for this if they are already considered totally disabled through the social security administration ?

[@amissy5876]

Good info!

[@CCK_Law]

Thanks for tuning in!

Is this the same if I file as a secondary?

Hey ,, I have a question. So i went for my C&P exam yesterday and it was with a private party Doctor /Audiologist for my Tinnitus claim. It went astonishing well and he told me he was ruling in my favor and giving me the "service Connection". I was given a hearing test and he said it exactly matched the private party hearing test I was given months ago, and he said that's impossible to fake. But he also said that I have hearing loss and further said I should've filed for that along with my Tinnitus claim. He also said that if I decide to add the hearing loss claim within 3 months it would be approved and service-connected due to yesterday's C&P report he prepared and the fact that I was a NAVY Builder (BU) which is on the DOD Tinnitus presumption list. But he said it MAY not get me above the 10% threshold. So is it worth it to add the hearing loss claim and having it approved even if it doesnt raise my percentage? He also said I should go to the VA and get hearing aids. Thank you for your time .

[@redmama1365]

Yea

[@johnnyc5587]

Thank u. I got my letter. I was awarded the 10 %

[@johnnyc5587]

Yes to what ?

[@johnnyc5587]

Along with my Service-connected Tinnitus I was also diagnosed with Severe migraines and Hyperacusis as directly related to my Tinnitus . I will be filing secondary claims for each as I have Nexus letters for both as well. Any advise for me ? Also on the VA form where it asks how to decriibe that your Migraines are connected to my Tinnitus. What should I write? Thank you ,.

Are all headaches rated the same way. Migraines vs cervicogenic headache

[@65Acura]

I wish You would have given some guidance on headaches (migraines) as one of the presumptive undiagnosed desert storm Gulf war illnesses that are getting denied by the VA

[@thinkforyourself9334]

If you have.a diagnosis for migraines then it's not presumptive. Headaches can be presumptive if they are undiagnosed as migraines.

[@65Acura]

@@thinkforyourself9334 I hope you are not giving Veterans advice on VA claims. The VA system is bad enough. Please do not make your replies personal.

[@johnnyc5587]

Hello. I Hope all is well. I have a question for you or anyone watching. I have 10 percent for Tinnitus and during my C&P exam the doctor told me that I was going to be awarded the 10% and additionally he told me to file for hearing loss because my hearing loss was substantial and that he was linking it to my incident on active duty. He further told me to file within the next 3 months so they will have to use the report he was preparing. So I filed for the hearing loss and they attempted to schedule me for another C&P exam through "Veterans evaluations services" . Its a private company the VA uses to do exams. I then I called the VA and they agreed with me that they will go off the first C&P exam. The term they used was to "Use original exam findings". But they they asked me to cancel the exam. I thought that was odd and they said it was because they would be able to cancel it in time and that if they didnt cancel it in time I wouldve had a no show on my record. So I went along and cancelled it. My question is - have you seen this before and does me cancelling it look bad for me?? I know Hearing loss is probably going to be a zero percentage, but since the C& P Doc told me to file i figured I had nothing to lose and I thought it wold be good to have the Hearing Loss service connected regardless of the percentage because I have Migraines and Anxiety ready to go as "Secondary" conditions to my service connected Tinnitus. Would love to know your thoughts. Oh , one more thing , My MOS was (BU) Builder in the Navy and thats on the DOD Presumption list for noise and hearing related conditions . Thank you. I appreciate you .

. Ya know for how much attorney’s charge per hour you might consider procuring decent microphones to use if you’re making these videos remotely ? The ones done at your firm’s offices are always Crystal Clear ! One of the three’s voice was so muddled because she can talk Fast yet it’s extremely hard to even follow as it sounds like coming from a huge & deep Tin Bucket ! The other problem is the “How” of the claims process. You touch on things but never lay out exactly how to accomplish getting a copy of a negative C&P Exam, etc. Called Nat Records in St Louis to get both Svc Records & Medical and was told they’re 100’s of Thousands of requests behind and they don’t just handle Military records so your going to Wait along with others requesting stuff for family genealogy search’s while you get Older & Sicker. Private Practice Mds (in own 40+ years experience) don’t want anything to do with the VA much less fill out a damn DBQ ! And Heaven help you if you had a security clearance while in service. It’s a Double Ended Spear : You were Paranoid about going to sick call as being labeled a potential risk that could be compromised and even dentists were supposed to assess you as all your records were stamped in uppercase letters “Sensitive Position” and the other side was if something did cause one to screw up, get hurt, etc. the cadre would sweep it under the rug for fear of the Brass focusing on how they ran their sections or were at some fault. Leads to the Old Pronouncement of “It Never Happened!”, i.e., Shut Up about all or anything about the issue… That’s why MST is Still so prevalent in the Military and it’s not limited to just women service members…. .
