Should I CUE now or later.

Question

Hello,

I'd like to draw on the experience of the brain trust here.  Should I CUE or now or later?

Brief summary.  I was medically discharged in 1997 for Asthma and left ankle issues.  The Army discharged me with 10% for Asthma and 0% for left ankle. 

The VA gave me 2 C&P exams.  One noted pain with activity and normal range of motion (less than a paragraph).  One noted dorsiflexion to 10 degrees (CFR says normal is 0 - 20) and normal range of motion.

I believe I have several grounds for CUE.

That being said I never interacted with VA after my C&P Exams in 1998.  Fast forward to 2015 and I learned more about the VA and am making a Fully Developed Claim to raise both of these with DBQ's from private physicians.  I take steroidal inhalers daily (Symbicort) and my orthopedist states impingement syndrome and dorsiflexion of -5 degrees stating "Patient can not get to neutral position".

So I believe in an increase request I will end up with 30% for Asthma & 20% for Limited Range of Motion of Ankle.

I will also be initiating new claims for both feet, knees, right ankle, back and right wrist. 

My question is.... Should I file the claim and get the 30% for my ankle and file the CUE after it resolves...  I believe I can file a CUE at any time.  So there is no rush.  I believe the CUE will get me 10 to 20% back to 1997.

Thoughts?
