Raters Combing Items

[carlie]

Sue, please post the exact DC's that VA has evaluated you under.

If you don't know then you can call the 800 # for them.

I am not certain of the DC numbers as much of this documentation is from the 1970s (and on either the old onion skin paper or the old computer paper with holes in the side). I have a notice from 1979 that states at that time my award was reduced. It lists only exact words---

Condition Prior% New%

Nervous 50 10

Back 10 10

Benign 0 0

Postural

Vertigo

It seems to me (and obviously I am not an expert)--but if it is listed as 0% that it is a rated condition. My original question was that I wondered how a rater could decide to roll the vertigo into another condition. The vertigo was next rolled into an anxiety rating and was never again rated seperately.
