Preparing to send in for NOD and reconsideration at the same time.
I have a lot of conditions, a lot of weird percentage awards, and a lot of denials and I'm trying to make sense of it all. So far I have an 80% rating (schedular).
Initially we were working with a VSO. The VSO went over all of my medical problems with me and worded the initial claim for us. As suggested by the VSO I claimed everything I was having problems with before seeing the doctors, and therefore did not have firm disabilities assigned to the problems/symptoms. So some conditions initially claimed are vague. Now I find myself having to ask for reconsideration and turning in NOD(s?).
To be specific...
I put in a claim for:
Finger pain with swelling - they looked all fingers (found problems) but I only recieved SC comp for one finger (one that was scarred in service). In my NOD can I get them to consider all of my fingers?
Same thing happened with one knee (left), one ankle (right) and one shoulder.

Is it common for the VA to separate such things?
Thanks
