asdf got a reaction from Rivet62 in Leaving military soon what should I do?
You should find your county VSO and set up an appointment to discuss your benefits with them. They should be familiar with BDD claims and work with you through the process. In my opinion, this claim will set the foundation for others that may occur in the future and you want to get it completed correctly.

asdf got a reaction from VetNY12 in After 1 yr 6 months going through the same CP exams twice for 7 claims, returned decision of NOT SERVICE CONNECTED for all
Decision letter will state why your claim was denied, you can then work to overcome that. Many decision letters now note favorable findings which can work in your favor. Don't just blindly keep filing like many will say on here. Fill in the gaps that the VA noted to make your claim complete.

You don't need one at 60% you need all the others to equal at least 60%.

Get a VSO with VBMS access and they can look into it for you.

There is a lot of bad advice put out there by well meaning but uneducated VSO's that you should submit a form VBA-21-4138 -STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF CLAIM and ask for a "VA Reconsideration". The facts are there is no such thing as a "VA Reconsideration". Trust me I have been doing this for some time. (1981) I recently helped a Vet that had 32 years of service and had no less than 5 requests for "VA Reconsideration" between 2013 and 2016. In October 2017 by submitting "a fully developed Claim". By helping him submit the right supporting documentation he was able to go from 30% PTSD to 70% PTSD and 100% Unemployable.
Instead of asking for "VA Reconsideration" you should file a Notice of Disagreement, (NOD) and ask for a Higher Level Review at the Regional Office (RO). I also always request a personal hearing at Higher Level Review at the Regional Office (RO). If presented right it may save you a trip to the Board of Veterans Appeals.
