1, I received a rating decision dated 18 may 2007. Consider this letter to be an official “Notice of Disagreement” (NOD) regarding the following disability. I am requesting a DE NOVO review by a new Decision review officer. I wish that the new Decision review officer use Sec. 4.3 Resolution of reasonable doubt. It is the defined and consistently applied policy of the Department of Veterans Affairs to administer the law under a broad interpretation consistent, however, with the facts shown in every case. When after careful consideration of all procurable and assembled data, a reasonable doubt arises regarding the degree of disability such doubt will be resolved in favor of the claimant.
2, I was turned down for an increase in my 0 percent skin cancer on 18 may 2007. I believe at that time the rater had rated me fairly with the information he had in hand.
3 Since that time I have had 2 more skin cancer operations on my nose. I have been informed by my surgeon Dr Chung at the VAMC in Hampton Virginia that I still have cancer in has now moved into my cartilage. There is nothing else the VA can do for me and I will be sent out to a civilian surgeon for another operation.
4. Since January 1st this year I have already lost 10 days from work due to having operations and follow up care. I do believe that my medical records at the Hampton VAMC fully support an increase in my skin cancer because I am not cured nor have I been cure for the last 4 years.
6. I fully intend to continue to appeal any further denials of this claim
