Question
trailblazer
I filed a claim for vision loss due to complications of DMII and high BP. This is part of what the evaluation says,quote A 70% evaluation is awarded for field concentric contraction in both eyes, end of quote. I was under the impression that a rating for vision loss was not to be combined with any other rating but stood on its own. I am almost sure I read that somewhere in 38cfr part 4 but I can't find it. I am going to need it if in fact exist to file an appeal. They combined the 70% with the 40% I already had and turned it into 80%(VA math sucks) Someone tell me if I am right or wrong in my thinking. I don't want tie up the va with an anppeal I can't win. To many other vets out there need help. Any help will be appreciated. thanks
