Attorney Wants Diagnosis for Secondary Complication to Rated Condition; Must it be through VA?
Cat4Christ777 posted a question in IMO Independent Medical Opinion,
Originally, this secondary condition was claimed as 'migraines,' but while it may begin as a migraine with a complication, the VA can--and has, more than once--made it so much worse (pain-wise). If it does not qualify as a migraine, then my attorney and I need to come up with a different diagnosis. It's definitely a neurological issue, possibly 'occipital neuralgia,' as the condition meets the criteria of its definition, here: https://medical-dictionary.thefreedictionary.com/occipital+neuralgia.-

VA Math, Confusing, Right? Calculate Your Final Rating Percentage!
Tbird posted a blog entry in Tbirds Blog,
10 + 50 = 50 and other VA math mysteries explained.
VA Math It’s Not Your Mother’s Arithmetic
“VA Math” is the way that the VA computes combined impairment ratings for multiple conditions in a Veteran’s compensation benefits claim – and it requires that you unlearn real math. When a Veteran has multiple medical conditions that are service-connected and the Veterans Affairs rates each at a different percentage, it would seem that they should just add up your percentages to get to a total body impairment rating.-

Question
justrluk 76
Good morning all -
I filed an appeal for a decision re: arthritis. According to my VSO, they failed to do a range of motion test and several other exams as part of the determination. When I received the original rating, they rated me at 40% for knees (without bilateral %), reduced to 20% for a pre-existing condition and 10% for the rest of my joints. In my NOD, I made it clear that I had no pre-existing conditions prior to military service as was NOT noted in my entrance documents (thank God I keep everything). So, I appealed.
This is what my timeline looks like so far. I requested a Video Telecon, but haven't heard anything yet (still too soon, I presume):
07/08/2008 - Local VA Office Decision - RO
02/11/2009 - Notice of Disagreement (NOD) - RO
02/17/2009 - Appeal Pending - BVA
02/23/2010 - Statement of the Case (SOC) - RO
03/24/2010 - Substantive Appeal (Form 9) - RO
12/15/2010 - Certification of Appeal - RO
So, is this good, bad or just plain normal?? Also, can anyone speculate when I could expect notification of a Telecon date? I've emailed my VSO several times, but she hasn't replied. Also, at what point can I call the BVA to find out info?
I also just read Wing's post re: waiver of RO Consideration. Should I file this now?
Appreciate all anyone can offer.
