Someone I know had a claim submitted 30 yrs ago in it they filed for numerous claims pretty much all were denied. In the soc they never mentioned the evidence in her service medical records that supported her claim, they denied based on the comp exam which also said some problems. She did nod, then it went to the bva which sent it to the AMC.
Here is what I told her hopefully someone can help her with better advice. I told her if the VA didn't address her evidence or the comp examiners statement in the soc regarding her spasm etc then she should resubmit this information to the AMC.
While she could submit new and material evidence she would lose her eed from my understanding. She doesn't want to do this. I do believe these are cue's again this may prolong her battle.
I may have some of this confused as to the timelines. The following is what I do know that I read in her file.
In the comp exam dated in 1980 it stated she had muscle spasms and pain on palpations which should have gotten her at least a 10% rating then. Thats how I got mine in 78 and those where the rules then.
What else can she submit to the AMC that will not effect her eed.
Currently, her MRI of her neck shows she has arthritis with spuring along with a slight impingment. I told her to continue to see someone and get her pain, numbness of her fingers and headaches documented. She is currently SC for headaches due to head trauma, which I think she should ask for a change in dx codes to 8100 and ask for 50% instead of the 10% she is currently recieving for headaches.
Any other advice on what type of evidence she should submit to the AMC.
