Question

I recieved a call today from the review officer in baltimore today

advising me that after going over my files i do have loss of use but

i should forward my claim for peripheral neuropathy to the BVA because

he dosn't have the power to award loss of use for my lower extremities

I have seizure disorder 100% 50% pes planus 50% bipolar and (20% cervical 10% lumbar LowBalled) also he informed me that a doctor at the

VA stated my motor sensory neuropathy was more likely hereditary this is the first time I every heard of this...I have read in my medical records were it states head,neck and back injuries caused my being thrown from truck that is not hereditary and my seizures, radiculopathy and peripheral neuropathy I feel that is the cause and if not it could be due to my epilepsy Over the years i have had severe falls and injuries .

Where is your claim now? You can solve all your problems at the VARO if you have the evidence. You don't need a two year trip to the BVA if you have evidence to support SC for PN. What you need is medical evidence to show nexus between military injury and your PN.

Do you have family history of SN? If not I don't see how they could say it's hereditary. Just get an IMO from a specialist or whoever you see connecting your PN to your truck incident. It looks like it's pretty clear according to your medical notes you presented. You just need that IMO.

It looks as though you already are rated 100% P&T or is it TDUI? You already have the "golden egg."

Congrats on that
