  1. Hey everybody thanks for being here. I'm pretty new to the world of the VA and fortunately everything has gone (mostly) smoothly since my discharge and filing my claim. Today I received my ratings in the mail and for the most part it was what I expected. However, my rating for migraines was 10 percent, while I was expecting 30. The award letter states that I received that rating for prostrating attacks averaging one in 2 months, rather than warranting a higher rating for one a month. I could have sworn that I stated I had a prostrating attack every month, but I reviewed the C&P exam notes and the Doc indeed wrote 1 every 2 months. So the question I have is what is the most expeditious way to appeal that? I have read about DRO reviews vs traditional appeals and I honestly don't understand a word of it. Is it sufficient to file and NOD and essentially just state that the doctor was mistaken in saying I had one headache every two months? In other news and as an aside, the award letter noted that I had another compensable condition that I hadn't claimed that I should file for. So in that way, I think I must be on the VAs good side haha. Thanks in advance
