0 Berta Posted November 20, 2016 Share Posted November 20, 2016 I couldnt get the No permission thing deleted... dont know why it is even there. The Intake center address is Evidence intake center PO Box 4444 Janesville WI 53547-4444 fax 844-5317818 or you can upload evidence to your ebenefits account.

0 ozboi Posted November 21, 2016 Author Share Posted November 21, 2016 (edited) @Berta @broncovet Thank you all for responding back.... My decision is date on June, 2016 Here is the explanation of why I was granted a 0% SC IBS: We have assigned a noncompensable evaluation based on : Alternating diarhea/constipation. A higher rating evaluation of 10% is not warranted unless there are moderate symptoms demonstrated by frequent episodes of bowel disturbance with abdominal distress. I am going to my VSO tomorrow after my therapy at the Vet center and ask him which route to go with. I just want this to be as easy to do as possible....

0 ozboi Posted November 22, 2016 Author Share Posted November 22, 2016 Hello all, Spoke to my DAV VSO today and he told me that to make things easier to just request an increase of rating for IBS, he also told me that would cancel my initial claim date, which I do not want to do. I am so lost at this, and I don't know how to go at this...... So far I have written up a VA Form 21-4138 (Statement in support of claim) stating that my rating is not the proper rating. Pointed out on VA Form 21-4138 that C&P examiner did put down "Chronic abdominal cramping" on my C&P exam. Pointed out on VA Form 21-4138 how my stomach cramps attacks and stomach distress are affecting my daily life and work. Pointed out on VA Form 21-4138 that my rating is closer to 30% than 0%. I should mail this VA Form 21-4138 plus my evidence to: Evidence intake centerPO Box 4444Janesville WI 53547-4444fax 844-5317818 correct? Can I also upload it at Ebenefits and mail them the VA Form 21-4138? Thanks to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
0 CaliBay Posted December 3, 2016 Share Posted December 3, 2016 Hello Ozboi, Totally up to you what you want to do but I personally would file an NOD VA Form 21-0958. This takes longer (12-18 months). You have one year from your decision date to send in your NOD and any new and material evidence. Get some strong evidence to submit to them when you file the NOD.

If you are still with the SOC response time frame--60 days??? I am not sure... You can obtain an IMO/IME from an independent doctor, ..they will need a copy of the C & P exam and the whole IM
