Question On Nod

[mcso111]

My friend Has a question. His question ? He has a NOD in a previous claim and wants to file a new claim but is concerned it might clog up his NOD. Will this have anything to do with it? or would this be two seperate things any advice to tell him would be appreciated. Should he wait for his NOD to come back, which who knows how long it will take i guess is the question? or just go ahead and file a new claim? thanks

Its possible but why wait if its a good claim?

If he waits he could be missing out on an increase in disability pay

He should secure his date of claim for his new claim. This can be done by sending a statement that he intend to file a claim (informal claim). He has one year from then to file a formal claim.
