Or, they may just skip to hornswaggling you on the effective date right away. Let us know which they do. Broncovet.... You are right on! They lowballed me. I ended up going from 50 to 70% & filed a NOD ..... waited 450 days to hear that they approved my requested rating of 60% per lower extremity. I am now 100% schedular - P&T, no future exams......BUT.....they hornswaggled me out of 7 years on the effective date. Not sure where I’ll head at this point, got the paperwork on the 23rd, so I’m going thru medical files right now.

Moderator broncovet Posted December 26, 2017 Moderator Share Posted December 26, 2017 It sounds like you need to file an appeal disputing the effective date. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chr49 Posted December 28, 2017 Author Share Posted December 28, 2017 (edited) I believe you are right broncovet......nothing to lose, so might as well. My wife & I have been working on it all day. Time is short on this one since its been to BVA - rated - then NOD. Hate that we have to wait for years, yet have to jump thru hoops & do things quickly for them ..... but its just the way it goes. Thanks for offering your opinion. This is such an old post I thought you may miss it. Edited December 28, 2017 by chr49 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
