    PACT ACT- Sinusitis and CRSC

    Well that last example is spot on as I am 10 Rhinitis and 30 Sinusitis. I have PTSD, Sleep apnea. But not confident I would get those connected. I even sought mental health treatment in theater both deployments, but of course records are sparse. So for now just going to stick to PACT ACT...

    alright well thanks for the examples. I already planed to file under IN. We’ll see what happens, Based on my experiences excluding my most recent pACT ACT VA claim, nothing has come easy. I came to tho forum almost 15 years ago as I went to the PDBR. This was after I was lowballed 10% and med...

    CRSC- any insight from PACT ACT experienced appreciated

    I appreciate it. This helps and the same advice I am hearing, file under IW. Did you get help or go it alone. Did you submit things like your Code Sheet and Disability Benefits questionnaire. Well the laws governing CRSC does not vary by service, only that the services have to adjudicate...

    CRSC- any insight from PACT ACT experienced appreciated

    Well nothing heard. Did reach out the Army “ambassadors” and they just bounce me between two phone numbers and then the person goes to the VA VSO lookup site. So yeah that’s a misleading bust.

    New Easier to use crsc calculator

    Pertains to the 6 year limit on retroactive pay. Services have been claiming the Barring Act limits retro payments to 6 years. Lower courts have tried to limit the class. Last federal circuit ruling was against Soto, so the Supreme Court taking it on looks to be promising.

    Inaccurate documents, does accuracy matter to VA?

    May have to take this to the BCMR for your husbands service. You could file a FOIA and seek any and everything the service has for your husband. You would likely need supporting evidence to rebut the errors. Even longshots like a commanders statement may be sufficient, but you would have to...

    New Easier to use crsc calculator

    Looks pretty good, straightforward. Landing about what I was getting using the common excel most are using. Appreciate this. May quash the need for CRSC calculation posts. If Major Richard Star Act is enacted pretty much do away with most of these calculations as well as Soto v US, which is at...

    CRSC- any insight from PACT ACT experienced appreciated

    Preferably vets who have first hand experience with CRSC claims with PACT ACT. How did it go? Did they grant or deny? What did you claim? Reason for grant or denial. I am getting ready to wade in the CRSC arena. I am so used to fighting, that I feel weird when there isn’t a fight such as my...

    PACT ACT- Sinusitis and CRSC

    Yeah please don’t order people around. That’s fine you don’t have time. I guess even though I work full time I do, because it’s not that hard if you understand basic Boolean search operatiors which the majority of search queries do. You can easily narrow down board decisions for CRSC and...

    PACT Act for previously awarded disabilities for CRSC application?

    Well it’s complicated. Were you rated for Chronic Bronchitis? Is sleep apnea secondary? Sleep apnea is not a presumptive condition but can be awarded secondary. PACT ACT for CRSC is tricky. The application hasn’t been updated in over a decade and they seemed to slow walk incorporating PACT ACT...

    PACT ACT- Sinusitis and CRSC

    So take a look at the updated Army’s CRSC page which they stalked updating for all of 2023 and deferred to waiting in VA guidance. There’s a very telling example about Asthma which runs in contrary to the CFR. ran thru the BCMR reading room, BEFORE I posted this. filtered for after 2022...

    PACT ACT- Sinusitis and CRSC

    Looking for success stories with CRSC sinusitis after PACT ACT passage. How did you win? Seems like you have to contend “instrumentality of War” seems like the Army has strategized since Pact Act passage and found creative ways to deny. member. I won PDBR and was granted medical retirement...

    CRSC-IBS

    Still doesn’t answer my question. Again every is firing off their canned go to replies. Great appreciated the calculations. Concerns is the process. I found resources, mainly the CFR. As late ng as the IBS is diagnosed and rated, has to be functional not structural, its presumed Gulf War. In...

    IBS- CRSC I’m going in

    So I am 100% VA rated. I also realized I have had IBS, for quite a while. I started the diagnosis process with the VA. Been on IBS meds for a year, several sets of labs that show normal kidney and Liver function. So next is GI tests. They want more labs, stool, colonoscopy. Sounds all normal, as...

    CRSC-IBS

    I understand who approves CRSC you need a rating from the VA first with at least 10% disabling per CRSC guidelines. The CRSC board doesn’t assess the severity or that you have the conditions, they assess if you qualify for CRSC. Still need to go thru the VA first.

    CRSC-IBS

    To be blunt and trying very very hard not to eye roll, no one has answered my query. I am well aware of who approves CRSC and what it is. Not sure how you gleaned from my IBS question I needed info on CRSC. I never asked about the process. Maybe take a moment to take in the question or comment...

    Hearing mixed things. The VA notoriously denies Gulf War claims. Anyone have success here? So the gulf war presumptive law 38 U.S. Code § 1117 - Compensation for disabilities occurring in Persian Gulf War veterans https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/38/1117 (B) A medically unexplained...
