Question
jlshand
BERTA,
I am about to submit new evidence to a claim for AO/DM11 that I formally paused just as I was scheduled for some C&Ps.
Based on a IMO from my cardiologist it appears I can claim service connection for significant heart problems caused/aggravated AS LIKELY OR NOT, by the DM11.
I have found in the VA Code 38 schedule ratings that appear to describe and rate my heart problems almost perfectly.
Also have found a couple of remands from various BVA's that appear to support my claims for the connection between AO/diabetes and my heart issues.
MY QUESTIONS!
In your opinion,
1. Is it "wise" to specifically point to these ratings and opinions in my write up of this new information? My concern here is appearing to be a "smart a#$" to one of the more "sensitive" raters who may handle this claim.
And,
2. Is there a specific form to use in adding new info in a case like this or do I just write a letter kind of summarizing the ratings and remands mentioned above and then include the objective info (MD's letter, tests etc) and deliver to the VARO?
Thank you and keep up the good fight
