BR,

I do want to be clear that in going by the information

you have posted - I am in agreement that with a percentage

of 10% you have been lowballed.

In the posts I make I usually try to look for the exact reasons VBA

has either assigned a disability percentage or effective date,

and/or denied a claim.

That is how we form our arguments for NOD's, form 9's etc...

Keep in mind what I post is only my opinion and there are usually

a few different opinions to consider.

There is just about always more than one way to look at claims

and apply the rules and regs to them.

Any award of 10% in my opinion is a lowball but a lowball that can open some new doors.

I AGREE WITH PETE..... B)

Frank,

I agree - I saw the same 70% you did in the C&P exam with a clear inferred claim for IU since he is unable to work.

When I was working my claim a couple of years ago, based on advice I got from Berta on hadit, I talked to a NVLYSP attorney on the phone and he suggested I cite Mauerhan in my NOD, which I did. I think it's important to cite the court cases to let the VA know you understand an appeal is ultimately a legal proceeding and you grasp that they are supposed to follow their own regulations and law. It annoyed me to no end to have to cite the M21-1MR to the VA on my appeal - that is THEIR manual and they should apply it correctly using the Doctrine of Reasonable Doubt. But I digress.........

Based on what the Decision states, what else do you think he needs to address in his NOD?

It seems to me that the evidence was there, just not interpreted in the vets best interest. The M21-1MR states the highest rating allowed based on the evidence should be assigned and I think they missed the boat on this one.

Thanks,

TS

TS, did you get my decision? I think i sent it as a private message under my name of Charles R Wright which is Banyray.
