Entitlement to service connection for tinnitus is denied. The evidence does not establish a current diagnosis. Audiological examination of November 2024 noted no complaint of recurrent tinnitus.
INCONSISTENCY38 CFR § 4.87 · DC 6260
Denied for “no current diagnosis,” but criteria allow lay evidence.
Tinnitus is rated at 10%on the veteran’s reported perception alone - no objective audiometric finding is required. The C&P exam’s note that you did not complain that day does not defeat service connection on its own.

Claim packet
Everything you need to review before filing.
Conditions, evidence, statements, forms, and decision notes stay together so you can review the packet before you file through VA.gov or work with a representative.
The math
Flat software. Not a cut of your backpay.
Most claim help is priced as a percentage of your award or a four-figure fee. Claim Recon is software you keep, at one flat price.
Percentage help & coaches
- Takes a percentage of your backpay, or charges four-figure fees
- A middleman sits between you and the law that governs your claim
- You hand over your personal records to a stranger
- Often built around an existing VA file
Why trust it
Grounded in the law. Built around your privacy.
Every rating, secondary path, form, and appeal points back to the authority behind it, so you can verify the reasoning before you act. Your records stay yours.
Tier ladder
Flat software pricing. Backpay stays with you.
Climb from the classroom to the workbench. Start free, upgrade when you need packet building and decision review, or own it for life. No percentage of an award, ever.

Questions
The practical things veterans ask first.
Will Claim Recon help me win my claim?
We do not file your claim. We help you prepare it. The platform organizes evidence, drafts statements, runs a 50-rule audit, and cites every regulation. Whether you win depends on your evidence and your nexus, not us.
Can I use Claim Recon with my VSO or attorney?
Yes. Many veterans use the platform to organize their evidence packet, then hand it to a VSO or accredited attorney for filing. We are not a VSO and never file on your behalf.
How is this different from VA.gov?
VA.gov is the official filing portal. Claim Recon is the preparation layer underneath. We do not replace VA.gov. We make sure what you submit through it is doctrine-grounded and complete.
Do you access my VA account or eFolder?
No. Claim Recon does not connect to your personal VA.gov account, read your eFolder, or pull claim status. The platform works from publicly published 38 CFR Part 4, M21-1, and VA reference materials, never from your personal records.
What about MST claims, OTH discharges, or Guard and Reserve service?
Each pathway has its own guide built into the platform. The MST guide tracks 38 CFR § 3.304(f)(5) markers. The OTH guide walks the DRB and BCMR/BCNR tracks with liberal-consideration standards. Guard and Reserve covers active-duty-for-training rules and line-of-duty determinations.
What happens if I get denied?
Use the Decision Decoder to read the rating decision against M21-1, then the Appeals guide to choose between Higher-Level Review, Supplemental Claim, or Board Appeal. Denial is information, not a verdict.
