Jordan, I gotta say, I continue to be impressed. Not by the knowledge that you hold but that you are willing to give that knowledge to your fellow Vets! I know you offer services that you charge for, but you offer so much for free. That's so valuable for our community. Me, personally, am getting close to the 100% mark with the help I've gotten from you and a few others and it hasn't cost me a dime. I appreciate your kindness to help us all. That being said, I do encourage those who are not in the position I'm in, to not me afraid to purchase any of Jordan's services. If what he gives for free on YT is this great, then no doubt you will gain way more. It is worth it, I promise! We Vets need to stick together and I thank you, Jordan, for leading that sentiment.

[@zgshigh1]

I filed my first claim and just had my first 2 C&P exams. I won't know how the exams went for another 4 weeks. Your videos are helping me build my next claim for conditions that my VA doctors said said are not service connected even though they started in year 2 of a 7 year career. Thank you!

[@tlteal]

Jordan is so incredibly talented and has a way to explain this stuff in laymans terms like a caveperson like me can understand it. I am part of his academy and currently at 80% but have a few pending VA claims hoping the VA ends up rating me 100%. Well worth the investment!

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Wow means a lot! Been reading lots of books on how to teach over this past year so feedback like that is incredibly valuable. Enjoy your weekend!

[@tlteal]

@@vaclaimsacademy you're very welcome. BTW, reading my latest C&P DBQ for Meneirs right now and would love to bounce it off of you to get your read. I know you're likely incredibly busy but also know that you know your stuff. My goal is to continue helping as many veterans get the benefits they've earned/deserved as well.

[@CallMeFil]

I wish I can just take a representative to represent me. But you gave me a lot more confidence

[@MiaUSMC]

I am going to pursue fibromyalgia as a secondary of already diagnosed PTSD, anxiety, and depression which I continue to have treatment for.

[@ethenjordan2010]

I am that second cat. I feel like you know what ill survive i have a good job now. But all my Vet friends said, "do it, its not about the money its about the principle. THEY OWE you that money regardless of if you need it or not, you put the work in.". They are so right.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

That’s a surprising amount of vets I speak with are just like you Ethen, it’s frustrating to feel like the truth is going ignored

[@johnmozdzien2703]

Jordan, I'm at 90% 88% actually... Rounded to 90. 70% Anxiety 50 % sleep Apena 10% tinniest 10% right knee. Working to get that 100% Have a claim for Gerd, rhinutis, hydrosos, and IBS

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Good deal John! It’s gonna be tough but possible

[@huntersdealer]

how'd you win the sleep apnea?

[@tonymimi9715]

You're almost there! With those additional claims you should get to 100%

[@magncity1817]

How does 70 + 50 + 10 + 10 round to ?

[@magncity1817]

90.?

[@Lost_In_My_Head]

So my wife’s medical records were part of a batch that was “accidentally destroyed” and her personal copies are no longer legible due to poor quality (government) ink and paper. She’s tried multiple times to talk to a VA rep to assist with a claim and nobody will help her. I’m 100% and I’m pretty sure she would be at least 70 or 80% if someone would just listen and help. What can we do…her ailments are just getting worse with age? 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@vaclaimsacademy]

If she has any military sexual trauma or combat related PTSD, that would be the start, since they do not require proof of the stressor events to win those claims, nor do they require nexus letters. Aside from those two, since her records have been misplaced by the government, her entire claim will be VERY nexus letter dependent. That’s the best shot

[@infini.tesimo]

Do you have to pay for any of the other doctor-related visits or does the VA do that when you're in the middle of your claims process?

[@altonza]

Present and accounted for sir! Dope jacket you have there. As always, tuning in to navigate the ever changing landscape to keep my status🫡

[@vaclaimsacademy]

If I were the VA I wouldn’t want to come messing with Altonza 🫡

[@Megaslob]

70% ptsd and im going to try for 100 once the new mental qualifications come. Im afraid to do secondaries as they will try and reduce my current mental?

[@Jay-s8x7f]

Hi. I am 100% Permanent and Total. Do I have to talk to a therapist every week to maintain 100 % PT? Thanks.

[@Dwe1964]

I finally received information from the board of appeals after 4 years. Can someone explain to me what "entitlement to service connection" is? Also, "exam review - not performed, needed from you." Will the VA set up exams for me, or do I have to do it myself?

[@davidfinney6855]

From what I’ve seen, you need to get a diagnosis from your doctor. Then as that to your claim to the VA, they have to verify that diagnosis and should schedule a VA c&p exam. You write a personal statement and add that to your claim. Then the c&p exam will be used along with your submissions to evaluate the claim.

[@davidfinney6855]

You might need a nexus letter depending on the condition.

[@davidfinney6855]

The nexus letter connects your current condition to your service if the condition isn’t already in your records. If a doc says your condition “is as likely as not” connected to your service, that’s what is needed to connect to your service. If you are already service connected, you don’t need a nexus letter.

[@Dwe1964]

@davidfinney6855 Thank you, David. I appreciate your help.

[@davidfinney6855]

He lays out the process pretty well in the video.

[@whatsyourexcuse927]

Still trying to figure out how to get the free nexus letters. I signed up but don’t have access.

[@daneldwinbrooks8444]

Would you have a template of how to fill out a VA form 21-526EZ page 11 for secondary claims what all do you write on it can you write 2 or 3 secondary claims on the same one.

[@QDUBS76]

I already filed for my sleep apnea secondary to my connected PTSD, with a well written personal statement. So am I dead in the water

[@mikemolash2480]

My VA primary put in my records that my migraines are as likely as not caused by my service connected tinnitus. Is that enough?

[@jefflaporte2598]

Great presentation as always. I think the nexus letters are Dr dependent. My Dr won't write me a nexus letter because she said all the info I need is in her notes and the C&P examiner will write the letter. LOL. I know I am screwed before I even begin to submit everything. I'm also not financially able to pay an outside Dr to write one.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Hope is not lost Jeff, I would come into the C&P exam with that specific note from your records printed off and specifically bring it up. Squeaky wheel gets grease

[@ramonchis73]

Great presentation, good job

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Thank you Ramon, happy Friday

[@juanalmader4506]

I wish things changed-such bad c&p examiners not wanting to discuss the connection

[@Ballerboithaone1]

The VA will go back years to use a bad C&P opinion of your condition to severe service connection for a claim they been paying you and providing care for. Happened to me now.

[@popeyeandy959]

@@Ballerboithaone1 This is one reason I'm leery about trying to get from 88% to 100%

[@juanalmader4506]

@@popeyeandy959 earned it

[@mikemolash2480]

Yeah. My last one was such a joke. I got a letter in the mail telling me to show up for a CMP exam. I got the letter on the 10th telling me to show up on the 6th. How ridiculous is that? When I called, they said since I didn’t show up the doctor, just use the information in my medical records and submitted that. I looked at the post date on the letter and it was the fourth.

[@JB-ry4fl]

The jacket is a weird flex... no?

[@IrishMan-7170]

Just went to my psychologist appointment to hopefully get anxiety secondary to my tinnitus. But now they sent me a development letter.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Progress! Get them a solid personal statement and a nexus letter

[@Alan-uq6sg]

Your the man. Thanks for the pitcher.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

You got it Alan

[@MercyP88]

I talk to a therapist every week assigned thru the VA. Anything i need to provide to them? I don't fill out the paperwork that is sent to me every week automatically

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Check your VA medical records to see what they diagnosed you with, that’s the first strp

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Step*

[@mikemolash2480]

I have a VA therapist as well. The first therapist, I talked to diagnosed me with “PTSD?” I don’t know if that’s enough. He put in there the code so I think it’s a true diagnosis. There is also a mention of major depressive disorder. My lawyer submitted the claim for major depressive disorder. Will the raters see both and rate me on major depressive disorder, even though it says PTSD?

[@Jay-s8x7f]

Hi. Are 100% PT? If so, do you to talk to a therapist every week to maintain 100 % PT? Thanks.

[@garycrum8048]

i have a 20% serve conecked 10% hearing lose and 10% tunus

[@UnknownnSpam]

got my mental health denied or deferred bc apparently it was prior service... when everything is service connected with diagnosis. because of my work and the aircraft carrier lifestyle. weird right? 7:32

[@vaclaimsacademy]

If your service made your mental condition worse, it should be granted service connection

[@UnknownnSpam]

@ adjust disorder with mixed anxiety and depressed mood was denied. (my biggest claim w diagnosis's) my tinnitus, back pain, plantar fasciitis bilateral & migraine was approved. and sleep apnea denied

[@trevor3879]

secondary claims can be won just through the c and p exam and the dr filling out the dbq no? they dont need to provide a nexus but is usual enough information for va rater?

[@vaclaimsacademy]

I definitely wouldn’t count on even getting scheduled for a C&P exam without a nexus letter for secondary claims, many times you’ll just get a denial letter in the mail straight away

[@trevor3879]

​@@vaclaimsacademy fortunately ive had c and p exams for all my secondaries claims ongoing atm. i cannot see dbq with drs notes as it was done through qtc. if denied, would it then be smart to appeal with a nexus?

[@dougcallahan171]

i had diagnosis, evidence and a nexus letter and I still got denied, I filed a High level review, still denied.

[@vaclaimsacademy]

The problem was likely a bad C&P examiners opinion then. A HLR just has another rater reviewing the same bad opinion from that examiner. A supplemental claim would get you a new C&P

[@leeshelton8023]

Have you seen your cost

[@fasturdbucker5443]

A zero percent rating doesn't even make sense

[@tonymimi9715]

It doesn't, but it is a thing. It just means the VA recognizes you have a condition, but it's not severe enough to get compensated. Sometimes those zero percent rating conditions get worse and that's when you capitalize.

[@bakerfrank101]

What if a veteran is rated n/a ???

[@vaclaimsacademy]

Toward the end of the video I recommend making sure to exhaust the entire presumptive conditions list

[@LGS_Inc]

It's a bunch of CAP, there is no free download when you sign up. Just another click funnel.
