I have been hearing about more and more denials lately and almost afraid to claim some secondary issues in fear of poking the bear.
I am at 70 and these probably wont even push me to 80. Don't really care about the $ as much as I would like the issues I am having be completely covered temp 100 while in surgery recovery etc.
I have 4 things that have diagnosis and are most likely secondary my service connected injuries. (of course all depending on if I get a good or bad examiner) All diagnoses and evidence are though the VA at my VA Clinic, Xray's, MRIs CAT scans etc. Physical therapy etc. ALL done through the VA (not like it matters at all if the examiner doesn't even measure of ask questions)
Should I file all 4 and risk having a bad examiner flush it all down the toilet? Or have a rater that just doesn't care anymore and not want to deal with a 4 injury claim?
Or do 1 at a time, potentially taking a chance of at least one examiner does their job?
Are multiple secondary claims risky? Is this even worth doing?
Poking the bear?
