Berta Posted August 14, 2010 Share Posted August 14, 2010 I found a 2010 PN BVA decision that coded the PN as: Lower extremity PN 8521 Upper extremity PN 8512 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berta Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 I sure didn't mean to appear to question the info John posted. We see PN a lot that is rated under the 2 DCs I posted. However I went to the Schedule of ratings that he posted and it seems there can be many causes of nerve impingement or disability which may or may not be PN but service connectable as secondary to something else. As within this BVA decision. http://www4.va.gov/vetapp10/files2/1017670.txt If the diagnosis is clearly PN the VA will probably use one or both of the above codes I posted but the info John gave us certainly caused me to think about how severe a nerve iompingement could be and if claimed as PN but it isnt PN, then VA could deny the PN claim and overlook that the vet has a secondary nerve impingement that is causing more disability.

johnjjr Posted August 15, 2010 Share Posted August 15, 2010 Berta, My PN is rated under 8520 for lower and 8516 for upper. Seems they have a different code for each nerve or group of nerves involved. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
