so from the chart it looks like a rating of 30% is warrented but my FEV-1 numbers before the inhaler was 49 which would warrent 60% is this apealable if thats what they decide to do?

I have SC Chronic Bronchitis Also see my C&P exam located her, thanks!

OK I've attached my full C&P exam notes and findings. The dr states several time that my disabilities adversely affect my ability to maintain employment. Will the VA look at that and decide to give me IU? Also will this exam help with my SSD claim I filed 15 moths ago? Thanks guys and gals for any comments on this matter. Also he said my sleep apnea isn't caused by chronic bronchitis, Is there no nexus between the 2? C&P exam.doc

First I want to thank the members of this forum, wow, what a vast data base created by the finest men and women that ever walked the face of this earth. Semper FI to all. So I was medically discharged after a HUMMER hit my MC as I was just minding my own business in 1987. The right side of my body was pretty much destroyed. Currently, I am rated at 20% degenerative disc disease 5243 20% residuals first and second metatarsals 5010-5284 10% residuals gamekeeper 5010-5224 10% interverbial disk syndrome 5243-8522 10% post operative residuals removal of the plica 5257 10% Chronic Bronchitis 6600 0% scars 7805 Combined Rating 60% Rating decision was 2010 Jan 2015 I had another C&P exam My current issues are increased pain in back, right leg is completely numb and aching I've been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy of both feet, sleep apnea, High blood pressure high cholesterol, diverticulitis, gout, yada yada yada. I'm prescribed 8 Vicon a day 2700 mg gabapentin, linsipril, samivstatin, indomethicine oh man its a full hand full of stuff just to function everyday. I have VA shoes, a cane and a walker. I'm not good. But it is what it is. The DR commented that my Pulmonary exam was terrible but didn't expand. I tried to comply with everything he asked of me but I'm very guarded when it comes to my pain as it takes weeks to heal. I haven't worked in 2 years and was making 72k as a sheet metal worker. My life feels like its over but I have custody of 3 ids 11,15 and 17 and must carry on for them. The wait is murder to find out if the VA will rate me 100% IU. Can I get some input from you guys Thanks Cook BA I'm 49 Y/O and feel like I'm 70.
