In short, with great help from the DAV I am working through an issue with the VA on my claim. They've lost a number of my records, when I requested them I received a stack with another veteran's records mixed in with mine, etc. The VA now says they are going to make a "quick" determination on my claim from the records they have. I can appeal anything they "missed". My intent is to look at what it seems I should be authorized for under Book C and have the DAV rep in Winston-Salem ready with that information to try and fix this before they go final and I have to get into the multi-year appeal process. I have about 10 days.
I am hoping someone can point me to where I can find the following conditions in the VA Book C rating tables:
1. Barrett's Syndrom
2. Gastroesophageal Reflux disease (shoudl this be rolled up under a single ratingw ith my hiatal hernia?)
3. Shoulder pain and loss of sensativity to heat and cold.
4. Elbow cellulitus
5. Neck pain
6. Chronic Pneumonia (shuld this be rolled up under my chronic bronshitus for a single rating?
7. Bialateral hip pain with arthritus
8. Joint Syndrome
9. Calcaneal Spur
Thank you in advance for the help. It will benefit me tremendously in this mess if I have something for the DAV to use with what we beleive is a fair rating.
