VAodyssey :(

Hello HadIt, I'm super new to this site but have been searching around for about month since I'm waiting on a BVA "Decision Soon." I'm not too hopeful but that's another story. I'm currently rated for a few issues but want to file for an increase on my DDD, currently 10%, on the basis of incapacitating episodes. I want to know what is the minimum evidence the VA will take. When I have a flareup I may be down for 1-2+ weeks, but I don't always go to the doctor, or when I do the flare is already subsiding by the time I'm seen. Many times its simply discussed with physician and every 1-2 years I get an updated MRI to monitor issue. I'm just wondering if anyone has been successful with an increase or proving incapacitating episodes so I can set myself up for success from the beginning.
