Thanks for the reply pacmanx1, this appeal case was remanded Feb, 2019, the original appeal was for Service Connection for left ankle, right hip, right knee, and right foot.
The service connection for left ankle, right hip, right knee were all awarded 10% for pain, which I now will have to appeal for a higher percentage rating, but that is a different issue right now.
My concern is that my right foot, still under appeal, and I'm in the process of sending the Board of Appeals new evidence: Foot DBQ from Ortho Surgeon, support statements, etc., (due April, 20th) the service connection should (99% sure) come back granted, and the RO decision letter will low ball again and I'll be right back to square one.
Having to file another appeal (as in the case for Lankle, Rhip, and Rknee) for an increase percentage.
Was trying to avoid another appeals process for my right foot (if possible) and was looking for anyone else who has already been down this road, or knowledgeable with this situation.
If I can also request a percentage with my appeal evidence(basically try to avoid a low ball decision from the RO) to possibly avoid having to request a higher percentage appeal in the future, and having to wait another 5 years for a higher percentage appeal.
Anyone with info., direct knowledge, or references greatly appreciated.
I don't have an attorney or VSO rep., I reside in the Philippines, none available here.
Thanks for any assistance.
