    I have gotten a letter saying that there was a duty to assist error in my claim. They said that they found favorable evidence supporting my claim. What does this mean for me? I would love to join the boot camp but I can’t afford it right now

      Hello Josh,
      I can help you with a partial scholarship. A $99.95 BOOT CAMP yearly membership is by far the least expensive amount you’ll spend along the way to winning your claim. If you end up needing Nexus or other medical services you’ll start to get into serious $$. Email me. [email protected]

    I heard Craig say that a c and p examiner cannot do a mental health phone exam. Mine did. He reported false info that got my claim denied. He made reference to the wrong date in my military medical record and said I was lying. Had he looked at the info I sent him he would have had the right date and evidence.

      Hi Kathy, that really sucks and I’m truly sorry to hear that, wow. That right there is why we started our BOOT CAMP here at combatcraig.com  To provide a place where veterans could get trusted information for a year or for a lifetime and not have to go through what you just went through. And we have superstars on staff here including former VA personnel … and our contracted MedTeam not only discounts services for BOOT CAMP Members, but they give a sh*t about them too. I hope you can get your situation ironed out. I’m sure the BOOT CAMP Support Team can guide you on your next moves to correct and overturn those clear issues..

    Just wanted to thank you for your advice. I used your med team for my Nexus letters and finally went from 50 to 100%. Expensive but worth every penny. I’ve recommended you to my vet friends who are needing help. Thanks again for everything.

      Thanks Phillip! Congrats on joining the Hundo Club! We at Combat Craig want this for EVERY Veteran.

      Medical as well as Legal ain’t cheap, but Veterans need to understand that it can be the pivot point between success and everything else below. With a 100% rating basically doubling a 90% paycheck, MEDICAL (and legal) is worth every penny like you mentioned. But to drive your point home: With a 100% rating equating to over $1,000,000 (yes ONE MILLION) in tax free cash and benefits over 20 years, it is a NO BRAINER to pull up yer britches and take your shot!

      And for those who join our BOOT CAMP seriously and do the work, it can be a much quicker journey! It is never too late to start … or restart your journey to 100%.

      Congrats again, Phillip!

      Hello Bob, your other post will get reviewed later today and should get posted then.

      As far as joining the LIVE Q&As you’ll need to join Combat Craig’s BOOT CAMP where we do those. It is mentioned nearly everywhere here on the https://combatcraig.com website and on virtually every video we make! We have many people who’ve reached 100% and who attend regularly and always newly minted veteran members as well. The 100%ers love to participate and give back to to the other vets. Combat Craig or RaterX (our former VA Rater for 10+ years) leading the discussion. We also have Active Duty members attending who are about to transition. Every session is different but anywhere from 25 to 100 people attend. In fact there is a LIVE BOOT CAMP Q&A tomorrow night on Wed April 9th! Join us if you can!

    Thanks to you and your associates, I received a 50% rating from the VA for non-combat PTSD; this is great!
    PTSD causes many issues. Feel free to make suggestions for a total 100% disability rating.

    I need to process a sleep apnea diagnosis claim. What do I need for the nexus letter? As noted, I have a diagnosis.

    I would like to file additional claims at the same time. Is this possible? My sleep apnea has caused my heart to be enlarged and other issues.

    I may have Menair’s disease. I need a diagnosis. I have the three components required: dizziness (I have fallen down, and the bedside clock, after I roll over to face the clock, literally spins vertically to stop spinning after a time), hearing impairment, and tinnitus.

    Attached is a copy of my disability status. I have been awarded 10% for tinnitus and 0% for hearing. Recently, I have been diagnosed by the VA as “moderate to severe hearing” impaired. The date of the original hearing award was in 1986. I would think I should have the percentage increased since my hearing is worse. Need another Nexus letter?

    I would like you to please tell me what you need to accomplish the above.

      Hey Dallas, as a BOOT CAMP LIFER Member you should have gotten a Welcome email that explains how to access BOOT CAMP and the services provided. Like LIVE Q&As for YOUR questions, private email with the BOOT CAMP Support Team to answer YOUR questions, and a video course where you’ll get a lot of your questions answered. Resources too. And discounts with the MedTeam if you need medical services such as NEXUS Letters or DBQs, etc.

      Go back and read that email, but for now simply click ENTER BOOT CAMP on the red navigation bar here on https://combatcraig.com, login, and then head on over to BOOT CAMP and watch the Modules! For the private email, scroll down to the BLUE BOX and follow instructions.

      Thanks for your BOOT CAMP LIFER Membership

      Hey Edward,

      Your questions are EXACTLY why Combat Craig has his BOOT CAMP. You can run around trying to do things without guidance like you have done. Or you can join BOOT CAMP and watch the video course and get straightened out. Then visit the 2x monthly LIVE group Zoom Q&A sessions. After watching the Video Modules, you’ll have the basic knowledge to be able to ask questions directly to Combat Craig and the BOOT CAMP Support Team. Or like I said you can search the internet for nuggets of info. And FLASH! there’s a LOT of bad information out there. Combat Craig is a source you can count on.

      Good luck, brother!

    Is the Boot Camp content only for veterans, or does it also apply to AD members getting ready to retire in the not-too-distant future? Thank you.

      Great question! We have a lot of BDD guys in BOOT CAMP, especially on the LIVE Zoom Q&As. There will be a transition path for BOOT CAMP members to our new dedicated BDD Workshop opening by the end of the month.

    Combat Craig,
    I am 69 yo and have been service connected for tinnitus 10% and hearing 0% since 1998. I recently (June 28, 2024) received additional service connection for PTSD 70% and Shoulder Impingement 20% for a total of 80% service connection disability. All are shown as “Static” in my c-file.
    After watching your Youtube videos I am “thinking” about filing for TDIU. But, I am afraid of “poking the bear.” I am afraid if I go down this route VA will use this as an opportunity to take away what I was able to achieve. Have you seen anyone in my situation get screwed by the VA?
    Thank you,
    Rod

    Hey Craig ,
    I just found you on my PC .Thank God .
    I’ve been able to take advantage of some of my VA benefits(Tinnitis 10%) .
    but the VA is silent on all of my other claims for VADisibilty .(not good) .
    I was told I had to get my claim up from 10% to 30% , but was denied and closed , no explanation for reason(s) for denial .?????
    I will study this process more and more , because I know these benefits are being wasted and under-rated .
    **************
    THankyou .

    As Always ,
