More info breh:

Burn Pit Presumptive Conditions​

To be eligible for PACT Act compensation for exposure to burn pits or other toxins, veterans must have served at some point since Aug. 2, 1990, on the ground or in the airspace above Bahrain, Iraq, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, United Arab Emirates, the Arabian Sea, the Gulf of Aden, the Gulf of Oman, the neutral zone between Iraq and Saudi Arabia, the Persian Gulf or the Red Sea; or since Sept. 11, 2001, on the ground or in the airspace above Afghanistan, Djibouti, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Uzbekistan or Yemen.

If the eligible veteran has, or has had, one of the following conditions, the PACT Act assumes it is connected to burn pits. (The VA says the following are not complete lists of cancers considered presumptive under the PACT Act.)

I haven’t filed yet, but i imagine it’ll be schedule in the next 8 months since im getting out

Yea make sure you file before you're 90 days out from separation. Gotta do it before 90 and file a BDD claim.

Any advice for mental health c&p exams? From what ive seen seems like there are quite a few who disregard what service members state

Tell your story they will ask you questions. So I prepared I wrote down my answers or incidents in the military. Then relay is to how it effects you now in your everyday life. Be truthful if you have suicidal thoughts. Talk about let em know everything they going to try and rush you through the questions so ask to repeat if you need time to think on the response.

I got rated 30% for insomnia. That pushed me to 93%. Of course with the VA if you get 95 they round it up to 100. So I just missed it this round.

Back to the drawing board. But I am that much closer

Definitely look at the list and file the PAXT act stuff. You claim tinnitus? Plantar fasciitis, flat feet, shin splints?

I did mine virtually. It was a tough 1 hr exam mentally. You pretty much dump all your trauma on the examiner. You start with talking about trauma that happened before you joined the service and then talk about the trauma you experienced in service. They’ll ask about when the trauma started, where, and what was the treatment for it. Just remember they are not your therapist and will not treat you. Their job is take down everything you say and give a recommendation to the VA about your condition. Hopefully you have a diagnosis because that will make things easier

Last year I had several claims denied without even being seen for them. After talking with someone today about filing again I finally read the decision letters all the way through. Turns out I missed appointments that they never notified me about. I was only told of 3 appointments and I made all of those. At this point should I file an appeal or or just start the process over? I leaning towards an appeal because if awarded I would get back from when I originally filed my claims early last year. Claims weren’t decided until November so I have still 2 months to appeal.
