Got a call from the VA claim development this morning. My claim for IHD due to AO is being sent to rating today. My claim started March 2010. My rating should be 60% based on METS of 4.4. I also submitted a claim for an increase in my disability rating for my DDD and right leg radiculopathy rated at 40% in August of this year. The reason the lady called was to see if I want to apply for UI since I stated on my claim I have not been able to work for the past year because my condition has worsened considerably. So I imagine I will be getting a form to fill out for IU in the mail soon. Then I will need some help from you guys and gals on how to support my claim. The lady stated that all claims for IHD associated with AO are priority rated. So it is finally happening for us. Good luck to all of you with any pending claims.

hello all, I am applying for an increase in my disability rating and the VCAA notice says " I will send more information of evidence to support my claim. VA will wait the full 30 days from the date of the letter sent with this notice response before deciding my claim." I am still waiting on some doctors reports I would like to submit. My 30 day time limit is up on the 3rd of august. Should I send what I have available now such as my statement in support of a claim, some doctor records etc. then send the rest as I get them or can I wait to get everything and send it all at once. Thanks so much for your knowledgeable answers.

I am applying for an increase in my disability rating for my back. They sent me one consent to release information form. I have 4 different doctors offices I have records at. Does anyone know if I should put all 4 offices on that one form or should I have 4 forms one for each office for the VA to send them too. Thanks for the help
