BASD

Hello all. This is my first post on here. Looking forward to learning as much as I can from all of you and sharing my experiences. I was recently awarded 100% disability with SMC-S. I believe my lawyer wasn't satisfied with the outcome because the claim did not have any back pay. Meaning there was no payment to them. I understand that. Everyone wants to get paid for their work. It took 2 years of work and they received no payment. They filed for a HLR to raise my PTSD rating from a previously denied decision almost 3 years ago. I was rated 50% 3 years ago for PTSD and they're trying to argue that it should have been 70% so my rating would have been 100% overall. I don't know if it's a good idea to push for more after getting the award I received. I want to make sure they are not risking the benefits I've received by trying to get some type of payment. I don't know if the HLR will cause them to look over all of my disabilities again. I am happy with the decision and would like back pay but not at the risk of my status now. I've asked them if it's a risk but not sure if I should believe it, because if I they don't push for this the time they spent on my claim would give them no money. Thank you in advance for any advice all of you can give.
