Question
Vync
I recently was awarded an increase in my TMJ rating from 10% to 20% based on reduced range of motion.
My C&P exam (03/2010) and previous dental exam (12/2009) both indicated I had limited lateral excursion of 3 mm, but the rater indicated it was 33 mm. I should have received an additional and separate 10% rating for limited lateral excursion.
What is my best option here? CUE, reconsideration, or NOD?
Here is the VA regulation:
§4.150 - Schedule of Ratings - Dental and Oral Conditions
9905 Temporomandibular articulation, limited motion of:
Inter-incisal range:
0 to 10 mm 40
11 to 20 mm 30
21 to 30 mm 20
31 to 40 mm 10
Range of lateral excursion:
0 to 4 mm 10
Note: Ratings for limited inter-incisal movement shall not be combined with ratings for limited lateral excursion
