i plan to appeal the 2 rejected claims, i am okay with the PTSD, 70% rating, not with the hypertension and infertility claims. My current primary wrote a statement after looking at my readings while on active duty that in all likelihood hypertension started in service.....i believe that that statement was overlooked as well as the high readings in my record, VA choose to focus on the one or low readings verses the numerous high readings..i had female surgery and other problems while on active duty that in accordance to medical research would more than likely cause infertility, i believe that i have valid reason to appeal the decisions.....i am receiving mixed messages from hadit responders, with my limited expertise in dealing with government agencies, i do believe that it would be best not rock the boat while they are working on the current decision....i definitely will not be doing anything before receiving the letter of decision........I have all I need to prepared the Request for Reconsideration.....
Also, the 2 service officers that i have through the Dav have not assisted me with completing the forms, meaning, they never told me how to word my statements or any of that, is that something that they do? Thanks for your help Carlie!!
