Question
mike/3/8/cav
Hello everyone,
Got some questions. I went through IRIS in last November and requested an exam for the registery. In December I recieved a packet to fill out with all the forms and a return envelope to send back to the Phoenix address. I sent the forms and additional papers of links from this site about Gulf War Illnesses. I went through IRIS again to aks for the status and got a reply in about a week stating that I was to call and schedule my exam.
Today I called the 800# and talked to a service rep who said that my claim for increase for Headaches, r/l/arm condition, neck condition, bronchitis and eye condition were at the rating decision office. I never put a request in for increase. Wht would it get sent to a rating decision board? I have'nt even been to the exam yet. I have been to my initial exam last year and was given 0%sc for headaches, but no rating at all on the other conditions listed above.
My current compensation is 50%sc PTSD, 10%sc each knee and 10%sc l/ankle for a total service connection of 70%. Are the VA automatically sending my Registery packet to a rating board without another exam? I hope I'm not confusing anybody. It just is so confusing to me.
