Question
tk3000
I have received the outcome of the review of my left leg condition (leg was broken in 2004, having had a compound fracture, with extensive surgery and the implant of a rod, screws, pins, etc). Now I have chronic pain specially in my knee and also in other parts of my leg. The outcome of the review of my claim was the continuation of the current rating: 30%. Which seems very unfair for me. According to the report, one would only be eligible for a higher rating if a brace was required (one may even be needed in deed when the winter comes and the pain level increases). What should I do to have a more favorable and fair rating: should I appeal the claim, if yes what kind of support evidence should I include?
Also I have new claim entitled "heartburn secondary to left knee condition". Which basically consist in a several heartburn and acid reflux that I have developed since I started to take pain medications (four years ago) and seems to never go away. What should I expect of that claim?
Thanks for any help
