Any disability claim that is filed with the VA must be supported by evidence in order to be be granted. There is no guesswork or luck involved, it is black and white.
Three elements must be satisfied in order to obtain a favorable decision.
#1 There must be shown an event in service that caused or aggravated the claimed disease or condition.
#2 There must be a present day diagnosis showing existence the same disease or injury, or residual thereof.
#3 A medical opinion must connect the event in service with the present day residual. The medical opinion is called a NEXUS. Most veterans claims are denied because of the absence of the nexus letter altogether or the nexus letter was improperly written.
Learn to play by the rules to produce the win. It is not easy and will require work on the veteran’s part and a fair amount of patience.

James, what is this O rating? On the Hadit.com podcast is there really red marks on our records? Because I’m right there with you! Red checks X 20

The O rating is the maximum SMC rating. R-1 and R-2 are actually A&A ratings that pay over and above the O rating. R-2 and the T rating pay the same money, about $9200.00 per month.
