another question...same subject. My VSO said today that he would let the appeal ride until they make a decision and we all know that could be between now and 2-3 years from now. Problem is a different VSO (same office) said to appeal it without tying it to anything that is SC or that is in my active records. He had me originally claim it as primary.
