In my case, my claim(S) were rejected (aren't they all??) by the VA.
I went to my private doc's and asked for a evaluation on the topic of the claim,, and also asked for a letter that stated that " more likely than not" the claim was a result of injuries sustained while on AD, as per my records. The Doc has to have a specialty that corresponds with the claim. For example, I went to a ENT who refereed me to an Audiologist for my hearing. Both wrote Lexus letters for me.

AFTER I submitted the Lexus letter, I was told by my VA primary care doc that he could have written the letter, based the the VA hearing test, that the VA rejected???
Net Net, It would be smart if all vets that start a claim, pushed for a Lexus letter as initial claim documentation.
As to the post, If you are dealing with a doctor that is not looking at your claim with 1st hand knowledge of military injuries, this report might help..
