I put in a claim and was denied...How do I file another claim for the same issue?

Hi Jim,

I have questions about claims. I put in for claim and was denied majority of what I was claiming. I was diagnosed with Tietze Syndrome.  It’s basically inflammation of my rib heads. I have slight constant pain but when it’s at its peak, I can't do anything besides to curl up and try not to make any sudden movements. I can't pick on anything heavier than a gallon of milk. How do I file another claim for the same issue?

If you were denied a claim, you have one year to appeal. We urge veterans to speak with a veteran’s law attorney about the appeals process. That won't cost you anything.
