Question

I had my exam and got a copy of the report.We looked over what was reported and to my surprise it stated it was from a 2006 diagnosis. Now if i was found to have DDD .Should it be from that date that was found or from when i had my first surgery? I've also had 2 lumbar fusions(03/11) which was not even on the report.I had the images and the report with me to show but was told they had everything that was needed from 06 to the present.I'm confused on this issue totally can anyone help me out ? THANKS

I assume the C & P was because you had filed a formal claim for DDD.

The date of the claim is your earliest effective date,for retro , if the claim succeeds.

Berta,

I can't remember which reg right now, but remember there's one that allows upto

a 12 month EED for medical evidence submitted within 12 months.
