Mark, Yes it was the same examiner. The thing is it is not likely for an adult spine to go from a higher degree of curve to a lower degree of curve back to an even higher degree of curve within 5 months. It is very confusing. It seems to be a long process to go through for someone to understand this fact. Thank you.

Thank you Vync for the warm welcome and reply. The addendum was made by the C & P examiner, but 10 weeks later. They are saying my progression is the typical rate of progression for my spine issues, therefore not related. That leaves me unsure if I should appeal this or claim it as chronic low back pain. I have several records to support as such. Also, when the examiner quoted my angles they were much lower than anything sound. A spinal curve doesn't shrink and then exaggerate again a few years later.

Greetings all, This is my first post after looking for similar situations. My C&P exam for spine issues was in June and it seemed favorable until an addendum was made this month which turned everything around. They denied my claim for aggravated spine issues and had inaccurate information stating my condition didn't progress until after service. Is the best way to go about this by filing an appeal or by making a new claim for low back pain?
