    Did putting off a VA rating hurt me?

    I got out of the AirForce in 2004 due to a blood clot in my leg, caused by flying too much. I Was an E5 and served 9 years. I got 20% for my blood clot and 10% for my messed up little finger. The blood clot is unfitting, the finger is not. I got a $20,000 payment when I got out, plus monthly...

    retroactive payment??

    Thank you! I did see my regular doctor about my condition and the VA has records of it. It isn't a treatable condition. I have a blood clot in my leg, which tests prove it is still there. I have been seeing a VA doctor for the past 4 years, but did not see them from 2004-2013.
