I am working on a CUE for failure to consider all medical records - RO used only in service Medical Evaluation Board document for rating, quoted it directly - and failed to consider more recent medical records by a specialist at all. I am wondering if I should get an IMO before I file?
My disabiltity is listed as 7332 with 60% rating (i.e. extensive leakage & frequent involuntary bm) but should have been rated as 100% (complete loss of sphincter control) since records clearly state "completely incontinent". If anyone knows where I can find a definition of "complete loss of sphincter control" that might be of help too.
Apparently common sence is not a requirement for ROs.
Also, DVA helped me when I originally filed. Does that mean I have to go through them now? What are the rules or where can I find them?
