Hello all, I was just recently awarded a 30% disability due to asbestos exposure while on active duty. This came after a denial of my claim which was overturned by a DRO. My problem is in the award it stated my condition warranted a 60 %, but was reduced to 30 because I have COPD as well. My VSO told me they can't do that, that the 2 conditions are "inextricably intertwined" and I should be rated for both. Any one have the evidence I need to fighyt this further? Also in the original statement made by the examiner he stated I told him I was not on oxygen theraphy. This was not true I told him I was. What should I do?
