Nod Work Ahead Of Me

[oddairman]

Good Morning!

Its a good day today. I don’t have a migraine... God willing I did not speak toooo soon as it is only 9 something in the morning.

I would like to send off my NOD today. But it looks like I have some work ahead of me. I am looking at alot of the previous post and see that I have to tell the VA "why they are wrong".

Hmmmmmmmmm I guess I am correcting their work for them.

Ok

So I’m rated at 30% for migraines. The reason they said that its not warrant for 50% is because they are not prostrating, or frequent enough and it does not effect my ability to work.

I’m not working now and have not been. What do I need to state in my NOD.

The migraines are coming more frequent. Hell 99% of migraines are prostrating for me. I cant do anything when I have them but throw up and sleep or 3 or days.

I feel like this is a partime job just trying to deal with the VA and the paperwork and it gives me a headache just dealing with them.

I heard that it’s taking about 3-5 years for approvals from the NODs?

Do I need to submit medical documents at the time with the NOD? Because they may want to do another exam anyway?

First off, don't go by anything you "hear." Appeals can take anywhere from 6 months to years, depending on their workload and on the evidence submitted. I feel you should submit any probative evidence you may have, as soon as possible, as it could expedite and win your claim. jmo

Before you submit your NOD you can post it here -

along with what new/additional medical evidence you are submitting.

Members can look it over - give you a heads up on any pitfalls they

might see - and other members will also learn and benefit from this.
