OK, I recently got a tbi Nexus with all the secondaries - headaches, Meniere's, vertigo, sa, ... (also w/an IMO for GAD and Depression) including some earlier claims I failed at proving alone, like SA and GAD (non-combat ptsd.) I NODed SA and GAD since the one year mark arrived, and my new TBI claim with secondaries and TDIU (simultaineously) is about ready to enter the system (since April 2016), which is why I did not pursue the SA and GAD claims alone.
I have a reputable lawyer firm wanting information about my GAD (70%) which I just filled out a NOD for. It really is a secondary off my TBI, so I don't know if I pursue it, will it just slow my TBI with secondaries and TDIU case down in the long run? If it did get a quick 70%, then that would be a great help to me. The SA 50% NOD said they would consider it if my TBI ultimately passes which seemed appropriate. Ultimately, the TBI claim is the root cause to my injuries and my claim: which appears inevitable.
I hear once lawyers get involved, that the VA is a lot more agreeable and expedient. But I don;t want to clog my case up in VA Appeal quicksand either, due to lawyers looking for profit despite how it effects me. Any advice would be appreciated. I am homeless now and going to a dozen VA appointments a week, so I feel like a hamster running on a wheel. I need to get out of this shelter NOW! Thanks.
I have been certified unemployable by all the TBI/Neurology VA experts and have all the symptoms of NPH (water on the brain/spinal tap.) I really don't know what the hold-up is, but it did take them 30 years to give me tinnitus 10% rating for an armorer not wearing hearing protection at a firing/mortar training range.

Since you have an attorney who is WAY, WAY more familiar with your case than I am, I suggest you ask your attorney these questions, which are good ones, by the way. Interestingly, I also have a
