I received a letter from the VA that states, "We received your election to participate in the Rapid Appeals Modernization Program (RAMP) on February 13, 2019. In response to your request, we have withdrawn your appeal(s) and discontinued appeals processing on the following condition issues: Service Connection for inability to Work Service Connection for Pulmonary Sarcoidosis Your appeal can no longer be reinstated under the supplemental claim lane. I did not file for a supplemental claim. I filed to have my appeal expatiated. I had all the medical evidence to support my claim from the VA and from an Outside Facility. I don't know what is going on. Any idea what I should do? I haven't got a response from my DAV Service Officer in over a year. Tucker

I was dropped from 100 % to 90%. The reason was that they claimed my lung had improved and rated them down from 60% to 10% even though I was having problem breathing.I filed an appeal as they used the wrong reading to score my rating. They should have used the DELCO which was low. I was using the DVA as my representative but I never heard one word from them and never received any callbacks. I continued to pursue my shortness of breath and the finally did a right heart cath that showed I had moderate to high pulmonary hypertension. I believed that should have answered the question on the shortness of breath and settled the appeal. But no, pulmonology said that because they saw a wedge pressure between the left side of the heart and the right, it was cardiologists problem and not theirs. Today I just had a left heart cath and everything is clean. No blockage, only .2 tenths of a rise in pressure on the left side. So this proves it's the lungs and an automatic 100%. So I went in and checked on the status of my appeal this evening and it shows that it was withdrawn and has been closed. I did not withdraw it and have no idea who did. I also checked on the request for my C file and it stated that there was no information and the request was closed. So, what do I do now? Tucker
