Va Lost My Claim For Increase!

[Bound4heaven]

Greetings ,

The VA lost my clim for increase. I cannot find the 38 cfr ratings for varicose veins. Can someone please help? I have the part 4 and cannot find it. Maybe I am getting frustrated. God bless you.

This should do it.

each extremity separately and combine (under Sec. 4.25),

using the bilateral factor (Sec. 4.26), if applicable.

Good luck,
