Both of those situations would impact on your having a determination of &quot;service-connected&quot;.<br /><br />Basically, there are many reasons why the VA would deny a service-connection to a disability from your active duty time, but you would have to provide much more information (DM me if you don&#39;t want to share publicly).

Med Board? If you have your medical records what is the basis of their denial?

I was able to upgrade and file new claims for both. they are both receiving over 40% compensation with back pay Robert Langham Thu, 21 Nov 2024 15:28:03 -0500 2024-11-21T15:28:03-05:00 2024-11-06T14:01:47-05:00
