John - i always learn something new here and your post sure enlightened me.

You are right as to the affected nerve groups. I need to look into the rating schedule on all that.

This info you gave us could help many here to get the proper ratings for any nerve involvements like PN. THANKS!!!!!!

I failed the test where you walk on your toes and heels.. my limbs are in pain, burning. weakness. I suffer from edema swelling, and of course I tremble and shake with tremors.. and cannot hold balance without the aide of a cane..

I cannot say the diagnosis until my c&p results are released.

that why I am curious what symptoms people have.. and what they feel..

I sort of understand the diabetes (which they say I do not thave..),, as you can have loss of feeing, edema,,, etc..

how they assign it to 1,2,3,4 limbs.. that's where confusing starts...

Chief,

Did they rate you using the bilateral factor for the PN?

Chief,

Did they rate you using the bilateral factor for the PN?

To be honest with you, I'm not sure. My letter stated 10% both upper extremities and 10% both lower extremities. the PN was added in with PTSD at the same time and took me up to 100% schedular P & T from 90%. So I never looked into the bilateral as I was at 100 now and happy.

Cool. Don't matter how you get there as long as there you're there.

I was curious cuz I've just been diagnosed w/PN, in both feet, and was trying to figure out if that'll raise my DB-II rating or if it will be a separate rating.
