I applied for a supplemental claim and then moved out of state. So far it does not look like I have an appointment scheduled but I'm due to receive a letter today that I think might have appointment details.

I have had two exams previously that have been with VES not with the VA.

If they have already scheduled the appointment am I able to cancel it? Or will it be in my best interest to fly back...

He told me 3 times tremors was not a diagnoses, but a symptom of a diagnoses. I showed him my primary care notes from the VA primary care, in which I was diagnosed with essential tremors.

I actually had to bring up...

This shit is so frustrating man. It’s now been over a year of fighting for my service connected disabilities and I’m no further than where I started. There’s quite a few things that I need to appeal for, but specifically, my knee that I hurt on a run. Patellar Tendonitis is the diagnoses. Doesn’t seem like a huge deal but standing/walking sucks, and squatting is hell. Don’t get me started on...
