diabetes New User, Kinda Dumb
Don't know if this is going to work! Have 20% diabetes/ now on insulin daily. Question, been diagnosed with neuopathy left leg etc. Gotten much worse getting in right leg too. Will they add 20% to current diabetes rate? Have rating of 10% on left leg already will that be another 10% or will that rate be figured into diabetes? Excuse the lay terms. God Bless us all, the lost and the ones who feel lost.

I emailed the VA with my findings and received an email back saying that my email was being passed to someone who was being assigned to my claim. Two weeks later I get the settled claim in the mail for 0% disability. This is not…
