The c&p doc wrote, "it is directly related to his time on active duty starting in 1991 when the SMR mention the back pain radiating into the left leg. This was only made worse by the fall on the Navy Ship. Records over the years show a consistent history of lumbar pain and always into the left leg. This makes this condition at least as likely as not related to his time in service." Also stated that my sciatic nerve is "incomplete paralysis - moderately severe." What is the reading for that? Is it 10% because that's what I got. I'll get letter and post what was awarded. Thanks for the help.

I'm received compensation (70% for PTSD since 2011). I had an appeal for back condition that was just awarded (March 2016) 20% DDD and 10% secondary radiculopathy Lle effective date March 2013. My question: do I get back pay at 30% for new SC or just 10% (the difference between 70 and 80%) 80% is the new combined rate? Also, I had been fighting my back condition since my discharge in 1993. I filled within a year of discharge but finally got the SC. Can I get effective date to my date of discharge? If so, how? Thank you in advance for your help.

I have a couple of appeals since 2013 that date back to my honorable discharge date 1993. Recently, I sent email to Secretary of VA and had reply. I checked ebenefits and saw some new items.
