My claim has finally been complete and I am only considered 40%
10% Tinnitus
30% Other Depressive Disorder
10% Lumbar
0% IBS service Connected
I claimed TBI, PTSD, Hearing Loss, Knees all were denied.
I disagree with the 0% for IBS, I meet the requirements for 30%. 5 or more watery bowels per day and abdominal discomfort.
I also disagree with the denial of TBI. The exam I went to, the doctor said that because I didn't lose consciousness and I that I wasn't exactly sure why it was on there ( I had a someone at the VFW help me and my wife) that I didn't have TBI.
Deployed 2003-2005 and 2006-2007.
My question is should I fill out a NOD or waive the right and go straight for the BVA?
