Of course! I think we can all agree that any and all help is appreciated! If there's anything I can do or say to help even one person with clusters, I'll certainly do what I can!

....re disability, vet or not, it is critical to list any comorbidities...the award decisions can be so arbitrary that one seemingly insignificant one may be the key to success. i got disability for a serious but non fatal illness partly because my doctor listed the potential mental health issues caused by the disease that we had discussed. the SS approval letter specifically noted these potential effects as having significant weight in determining qualification. i will be forever grateful that my PCP had documented EVERYTHING...and was willing to sign off on the need for disability. find an advocate doc....its JUST like we need for CH.....

The info about the VA and how you got coverage is super helpful for vets who might be dealing with the same thing. I didn’t know head injuries could be linked, but your story makes a lot of sense. Appreciate you taking the time to post this.
