Clarus Dermatology is on the evidence list. We did a DRO for not having proper consideration of the letter from the doctor or the corpsman. Unfortunately this is all the Dermatologist was willing to provide.

I only filed for psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis, they opened up skin condition on their own. This is for a direct service connection.

To be honest Berta I had a really hard time apply the example to my case on the psoriasis. I had a great word letter from my Corpsman and a "reasonable" letter from a private dermatologist. The only one in Minnesota I could even get to offer anything on it. My corpsman's statement was filed as a lay statement. In the decision they didn't reference either of the statements. Want me to upload them?

For VA Medical Addendum/ Clarification

Good evening. My claim was decided. My rating for anxiety with depressive features at 30% and changed to PTSD at 50%. My VSO said I should be furious at the denial for Psoriasis and Prostatic Arthritis. We filled a NOD with DRO. He said get ready for the long haul. Lastly the CUE on my shoulder was deferred. Considering this was going back to 04/2011 and my C&P went very well I am hoping this is a good sign. Any insights?

I could look on my old claim again. But was denied on basis that there was no shoulder injury in my STR. I found a copy of my final physical where it showed in for different sections that I was being treated for my shoulder. I have the final physical to my VSO and he wrote down some of my compliant and said he would file a CUE. I haven't heard anything since then, until I was called to schedule a C&P for it this morning.

Good afternoon, I had a call to schedule a C&P for my shoulder from LHI this morning. Generality speaking does that mean they agreed with my rationale for a CUE and are moving forward with the claim?

They fixed my testicle by getting rid parts of it. For me it is tough because I felt really connected to righty, but overall I am just grateful to.. I am happy to lose the 10% rating to get the cure. I will always monitor it to make sure the pain stays away. But do you want the pain gone or money?

So I should make this a new claim?

I go forgot to say this claim was in 2011.
