I would like some advice and opinions on when I should submit some new evidence.
To fill you in a little, I submitted claims for IHD, PTSD, and other claims. Received my decision letter and was given a total rating of 60%. IHD 30%, PTSD 30% and a couple 10%. One claim deferred.
I also submitted the form 21-8940 for TDIU which was denied.
I have submitted a NOD (to the DRO) for the PTSD and IU issues and the process is now in the development stage. I did not submit a NOD for the IHD.
Recently I have obtained a great IMO from my cardiologist confirming that I am totally and permanently disable due to my IHD. I also have had some further medical problems and it will reinforce what the doc has written. (I should state at this point SSDI has deemed me permanent/total solely for IHD since 1990 but apparently the VA didn't agree)
My main question is when can/should I submit the new doctor evidence and supporting documents? Now, while the NOD is in the development stage or wait until I am sent the SOC.
