Question
iraqx2
This is a followup to my previous post from December. I am currently at 40% ( 30% back, 30% PTSD ). I had an appointment to C&P that was initiated by the VA back in November to reevaluate my PTSD. At the appointment with the DR., he stated that my symptoms has worsen and my rating my change. Supriseingly, the VRO decided quickly ( 30 days ) with a rating of " UNCHANGED ", thus no increase or decrease. They stated that I never bothered to get help since 2004 ( try getting the dam appointment ) and I seem to be doing OK because I am working ( my 3rd job in the past 12 months, being once a professional and now a clerk ). My symptoms are destroying my life and all fibers of my social skills are depleted. This is BULL!! I now have the option to appeal by filing a NOD.
Since I have no new evidence, how should I format my NOD? Should I get a second opinion? Should I get proven help with writing the NOD without any medical evidence? Should I hire a lawyer? Any suggestions would be grateful.
Thanks,
Alex
