Secret ‘Semi-Presumptive’ Claims You Can Win Now!

In this video, we dive into the powerful strategy of filing for “semi-presumptive” VA disability claims - a unique approach that gives veterans a fighting chance at receiving favorable ratings even without a nexus letter. Semi-presumptive conditions are just a step below traditional presumptive conditions. These conditions may not be universally accepted by the VA, but they carry a high likelihood of being approved when linked to specific military duties or environments. If you served in roles with known high-risk factors, like being in an airborne unit, a heavy infantry position, or in a role with high noise exposure, this video is for you.
In these cases, you can file your claim without a nexus letter as long as you share a strong, well-articulated personal statement. By telling your story in detail - explaining the connection between your service and the condition - you can potentially set the stage for a favorable nexus opinion during your Compensation and Pension (C&P) exam. With the right approach, semi-presumptive conditions can be a powerful tool for maximizing your VA disability rating.

I served 6 years Army National Guard but with no activation during my 6 years, do I qualify for disabililty?

[@edwardperez6729]

I wrote my own nexus, had my doctor sign it. That easy, no thousands of dollars.

[@paulnightwolf9043]

😂😂 enjoy your prison time

[@shawng8432]

Great information sir. I asked my Dr to include in his visit notes, the key facts connecting my diagnosis/ symptoms to the incident/ complaint in my STR. I had their notes for the claim and C&P as a nexus and it proved sufficient. Of coarse, I had my VACA personal statements and strategies to close the deal. You guys help pave a path!🇺🇸

[@JayJay-musik]

That c&p can screw you every way but the right way and depending on the rater going over your claim they will not look at your evidence if the examiner says it’s not service connected. I learned this the hard way from one of those goniometer gremlins

[@chadpickens8500]

Jordan, would you consider doing a video on writing personal statements for secondary claims? I'm currently in the middle of putting together my first secondary claim and would love any advice on what you feel is most important to focus on, especially if it's different from writing for an initial claim! (I used your advice from a previous video for my initial claim, and went from 0-90%!)

[@barbiejean1179]

Perfect! Thanks

[@vaclaimsacademy]

My pleasure

[@SmokieTRW]

Didn’t think of that but that’s something I’ll do for my asthma and osa

[@Wink527]

I was 11B Infantry, I injured my back and knee while on active duty. These injuries are in my STR. My knee is in my STR multiple times. My back got service connected my knee didn’t. The process is inconsistent.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Inconsistent is absolutely true. You can narrow the range with good claim practices but at the end of the day the VA is gonna VA sometimes

[@dm4008]

As a rescue swimmer in the Navy with 1,000 hours in H-60's would shoulders, hips, neck, and back be good semi-presumptive claims? My initial rating is 70 with lower back and knees already rated, low, but I've have been out for 6 years now. Also, if I haven't sought medical attention for these things until this year how stacked are the odds against me?

[@hailtothe_rooster1572]

Would it hurt me to have multiple claims at once OR should I try one at a time?

[@albertb6152]

If you file one claim at a time it will take years to finish all of your claims. Submit your intent to file and collect all of your necessary information. When you finally submit you'll have multiple exams at the same time.

[@JayJay-musik]

Man I had 7 or 8 at one time and whenever they would schedule my exams they would sometimes do two exams at a time. The last one I had I was seen for 3 of the claims. Collect all your paperwork and send it all up at once. Took me less than a year to get 90% and I plan on getting my 100% before the years out of all goes as planned

[@user-qy9rg3nt2l]

Served in an area with known PFAS and Dioxins in the drinking water. Dow chemical barrels literally coming out of the ground. VA rep pushed for me to file after finding out I've come down with blood cancer. The waiting game begins.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

I’m hoping everything turns out well with that, ideally the very first go around

[@hightoneshoneybadger7015]

Personal statements did me nothing. I had surgery for sinusitis and was rated 0%. Submitted a personal statement saying how I still have all the symptoms. 0%. HLR and still 0%. Don't hang your hat on a personal statement!

[@joesmith-tg3co]

trying to get my orders from air assault class 12-80 , sent them the packet request 3 weeks ago, have not heard back, sent registered, and suggestions on how to follow up please

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Receiving those will likely be the longest part of this process. I would follow up with a phone call to them once per week

[@joesmith-tg3co]

@@vaclaimsacademy thank you

[@chopperRS_]

can u do a video on being p&t ?

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Good idea, gonna add that to the list

[@gracesmith9125]

Yo!

[@gracesmith9125]

Let's not forget the Dr's rationale statement right?

[@vaclaimsacademy]

You got it Grace! Great to see you

[@jamaljohnson4491]

I’m the first person here.

[@eze9057]

I am second.

[@brandonobrien5183]

I have in service record of back, shoulder, hip , knee pain pain but was still denied. 82 airborne Battalion scout 2001-2005. Said it was because I didn't seek treatment after discharge. I did. Chiropractors, craniosacral, acupuncture for years as well as the VA sending me to physicals therapy. C&P examiner made comment to me about not wearing a mask as soon as I walked into the room. I think the evidence of seeking treatment didn't get reviewed by the rater and examiner.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

That definitely can happen, I would personally seek a nexus letter then double tap with a supplemental claim to get that across the finish line
