Question
SouthGA
I am currently service connected for neuropathy in both hands and feet at 10% each .
At a recent C/P examination, I told the examiner that my feet feel like they are asleep with a tingling, numbness and burning constantly in both feet. the diagnosis by the VA examiner stated, "Peripheral polyneuropathy of the feet bilaterally. This does not involve a particular nerve distribution but is in stocking distribution, consistent with polyneuropathy. This involves primarily the lower extremities. Regarding the connection between peripheral polyneuropathy in the lower extremities, this is at least as likely as not caused by diabetes. This is a well-described complication of diabetes."
Is the diagnosis consistant with my current rating of 10% each lower extremity or is this diagnosis more severe? I was not aware of the diagnosis until I requested a copy of the examination.
