Not rated yet but got the DBQ from my C&P back. I’m hoping mine is rated as connected to my TBI, especially since the TBI is noted by my sleep pulmonologist in their paperwork. What would constitute a major seizure for Narcolepsy?

Also AD Navy. Referred condition PTSD. My advice is to make it less about LIMDU or PEB and more about treatment. Insist that you need to go to an inpatient residential treatment facility (RTF) or partial hospitalization program (PHP) trauma focused treatment. From there make it clear to your...

From my understanding, isn't necessarily good or bad depending on what they already reviewed in your records. If you check the documents tab in Tricare Online, the Disability Questionnaire (DBQ) that the examiner completes will eventually show up there and give you a pretty good idea of how the...

exactly. sleep attacks and cataplexy episodes. first you need the confirmed diagnosis which can be via PSG/MSLT, labwork, or medication. During the C&P they confirmed mine through my medication history (Xyrem is used exclusively to treat Narcolepsy with Cataplexy) because QTC did not have...

AD USN. From what I understand they treat each narcoleptic or cataplexy episode as a small seizure. I just got my DBQ back for Narcolepsy, it definitely had the wrong box checked saying I get 0-4 narcoleptic episodes per week, so I sent in a personal statement to counter that.

Yeah. Just getting in line has been a long ride.

I've received responses from both; Cornyn basically just redirected me to read what he supports on his website (MRSA is not mentioned), Cruz gave a non-committing answer, but from more recent responses I've seen from him he seems like he's giving more positive feedback regarding MRSA (still not...

Thank you, it's been a long wait, but I have my TBI QTC exam this week and have already had my general and PTSD C&P exams. During my general exam the examiner claimed they didn't have any of the documentation for my medical conditions (which I know are in my records as I can view them). I've...

Also, for those applying or looking to apply, SSA will ask for LES's and paystubs dating back to the onset date you are claiming.

Thanks for the response. I've sent them all of the records I have; Those examples were just a few things that stuck out to me. I may have jumped the gun filling out and dropping off the SSA-3369 work history report and the SSA-3373 function report. I just received a package today and it only...

Sorry your wife is having a difficult time with the process. I’m trying my luck without an attorney for now, but will hire one if I need to appeal. Definitely should have filed months ago, but have been trolling the forums and the ssa site to get my head wrapped around the process. I’m dropping...

I understand there is a five month waiting period, but I’m reading that is from the date of disability onset determined by SSA. From the SSA wounded warrior website: If you meet the requirements for disability benefits, there is a five-month waiting period before your first monthly benefit can...

Thanks for this response. I just spoke to someone at my local office and they sent out the ADL and history of employment for me to complete as it's currently in preliminary review. My wife is helping me with the form and I'm trying to be thorough and concise with the ADL. Definitely have...

If you don’t mind sharing, how has it been a pain in the ass? Trying to get an idea of what to expect. I initially filed February 2 and mailed in records shortly after. I haven’t had the patience to sit on hold for hours to speak to an actual person, but may call again to get an appoint or just...

@randomairman27 did you include Support Letters (from spouse, friend, boss, etc) in your application? Also, good luck with your claim!

I probably should have hired an attorney, definitely will if I have to appeal a denial. Were you still going through an MEB while you filed? Also, is yours being processed as a "wounded warrior" claim?

I understand your perspective and I'm looking to reestablish myself into the community, but it's going to take a lot of work and I'm still going through my MEB. As it stands right now, I am focused on treatment for PTSD. Also combat related, special operations support. In the meanwhile, I...

BLUF: For those who have had successful SSDI claims during MEB, what paperwork did you provide to support your claim? I'm currently going through an MEB for chronic severe PTSD which has kept me out of work. In the past year, I've been in a residential treatment facility, two partial...
