Newbie to forum, but appreciate all the posts and info!
I've never claimed VA before now (dumb!), but let's pretend that the injuries and SC nexus are easy to show, and the only question is what DCs to claim for. Previous posts were very helpful, so I've taken a stab that I think covers it and what the ratings might be, and hopefully isn't pyramiding. I'm sure getting these approved won't be easy as just creating a list, but did want to get started in the right direction.
Would sure be grateful for anything that jumps out to you as a wrong direction to go, or surprises to expect. Thanks for the help!
