Question

I was involved in a motor vehicle accident while on active duty 4 years ago. At that time i received injuries to my lower back, neck, both shoulders, left hip area and left leg. I filed a claim for my back condition not understanding that I needed to file for all my injuries. I received 20% rating for my back codition. my MRI at the time stated that I have a herniation disc L4-L5. The award I received was for a Lumbar Strain. My latest (Aug. 8 2009) states that I have a Disc Bulge. When I filed a claim for my neck and shoulders the va stateded that it was residule to my lumbar strain.

They have all the records of treatment that I have received over the years. I had to resubmitt forms to explaine that my shoulder and neck were from the accident. My question will they change the rating for my back condition which is more than a lumbar strain. I have pain in both buttocks and going down my left leg into my feet. Help!
