Hello All I have a few questions. I am 80% now prior to the VA doing surgery and VA tells me even though I am SC to 80% with at least 1 SC that is 60% for 4 years I have been refused IU. I am going to have back surgery on my back which the VA has not considered since I am low-balled for 10% they do not considier me to be unemployable due to the Back and heart issues as I have claimed. The surgery told me "If I wanted to try this" I am having the very bottom 4 disc replaced fused and rods and screws in the my old broke down back. I am also having some nerve damage in my legs and my fingers are going numb from some disc problems in my upper back. I just tried a nerve stimulator but my back kept going out so now after all of that they want to try surgery. This will be third surgery on my back any suggestions or advice. I know that I can apply for IU for the time it takes me to get over the surgery. I have been trying to get the VA to considier the current condition of my back for 2 years but no luck. The medicine I take for my back has been increased 3 times in the last 2 years alone. Again thanks for any advice you could give me....
