Hello all I retired in 2005 have a general question in reference to back disability. I'm currently at 60% with 10% of it for "residuals of post laminectomy, lumbar spine, with mild degenerative changes, claimed as chronic back pain with radicular symptoms." In 2005 (after my retirement) I went to the VA and they inputed this into my medical record: " Images of the lumbosacral spine were obtained on 5/12/05. Mild degenerative changes are seen. A scoliosis is noted." I never submited a claim for "scoliosis". When I submitted my orginial claim it was due to back surgery that I received while on active duty on the L5 (fusion) and I was rated at 10% for it. Would it be worth to file a claim for "Scoliosis" or am I just wasting time? Please advise.
