I keep hearing about people having two claims for a condition, 1 for the condition itself and one for pain. VAC tells me pain isn't a diagnosis and no diagnosis equals no claim. When you have a diagnosis, that is your original claim so where is this pain claim cone in.
I spoke to a person at VAC about a chronic pain diagnosis and apparently it has to be diagnosed by a psychologist. I don't think I have phantom pain that is all in my head, so I am not sure where a psychological assessment comes in.
Can anyone help me understand this? I am in constant pain all day everyday and I am not sure how to apply to vac for that or even if I can.
