Even though the claims number have gone through the roof, the sooner you re-file the better MSgt Dominique Derr Thu, 29 Jun 2023 11:28:52 -0400 2023-06-29T11:28:52-04:00 https://www.rallypoint.com/answers/seeing-i-was-rejected-twice-for-a-claim-with-the-va-for-colon-cancer-and-secondary-delibitating-effects-should-i-re-file-ie-pact-act?n=8349412&urlhash=8349412 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Always try. They are doing a thorough screening at this point, your GI will have to tie directly to burn pits or very similar.

They know the system quite well and may be helpful. Good luck.

If you answer yes, do not refile a new claim. Go to the nearest VA Vet Center, the counselors there are trained to reopen an existing file (one that you got your rating of X%) and file it against that one. They are basically adding on. The advantage is that it will go faster than an creating a new one. Which has to be done from scratch.

You need to be prepared for the long fight since the VA counts on you giving up and walking away in frustration. DAV was useless for me. After nearly 5 years of bac and forth bullshit, I ended up having to go with a private legal firm. No shit, within two weeks had results. Look up the Deuterman Law Group. They are worth their weight in gold. SPC David C.

If you get denied again, find a VA approved lawyer to fight your case. They normally get 25-33% of you back pay as payment.
