Please read over my NOD before I send it off and let me know what you think about it. I also have a sheet for each of my documents that I am attaching explaining what claim it is referring to.
Thanks!!!

RATING DECISION OCTOBER 22, 2009
NOTICE OF DISAGREEMENT
I am writing to appeal the decision that was made on my compensation claim on October 22, 209. I am asking that a DRO review my claims and reevaluate my ratings. These are the claims that I am appealing:
1. Lumbar spine, degenerative disc disease was granted for 20%. I am appealing this decision and asking for an increase in my disability percentage because this condition has continued to get worse and is to the point where I cannot bend over even slightly without extreme pain. This is a condition I deal with everyday and even keeps me from working when the pain is just unbearable.
2. Bilateral knee condition was denied. I am appealing this decision and including evidence dated 3 April 2007 that also shows a diagnosis of right knee cartilage damage. I am requesting a rating on this previously denied claim.
3. Right shoulder condition was denied. I am appealing this decision based on my evaluation from the VA doctor in the denial letter that is warranted a 10% decision according to the provisions of 38 CFR 4.40 and 4.45 concerning functional loss due to pain. I was seen for my right shoulder during my tour in Iraq at the 4th ID TMC in Balad, Iraq. I was diagnosed with tendinitis to the best of my knowledge at that time. I am requesting a rating on this previously denied claim.
4. Split kidney was denied. I am appealing this decision and providing the documentation to support my claim. I was diagnosed with a Grade IV Renal Laceration, Left, while I was in Korea and was hospitalized on strict bed rest. I have had numerous issues with my kidney that continue to get worse and I am sure that it is causing other problems within my body. I struggle to keep weight on and do not have an appetite at all. I have to urinate so frequently that it disrupts my life and causes lack of sleep. I am requesting a rating on this previously denied claim.
I am attaching documentation and reasons for appeal to provide justification on my injuries sustained during my military service.
