Can you ask for a reconsideration without new evidence? The claim that I had denied this week was one for IBS. In an earlier post I was having problems with another vets claim for IBS now mine. I served in Saudia Arabia and Kuwait during GW1 and IBS is presumptive.
My original claim asked for SC on a presumptive bases. My C/P doc stated that my IBS was due to an unknown cause. The rating denied the claim on the basis that no record of the IBS was found in the SMR's. No joke my little VA buddies. You are right it ain't in there cause it did not exist during my active service. They simply blew off my request for presumptive service connection.
I would like to point this out to them and ask that they simply follow the regulations. If they do then SC for the IBS is a definite.
If reconsideration is out of the question then I guess I will start the long hard road known as NOD.
