Question
COOL BREEZE
I have been quite ill for a spell. Another spell in the hospital with another issue-the big D:Diabetes. I am trying to get back into the flow it on this site.
I have been reading numerous post from the face book page on the DAV . Quite a few veterans think that by submitting new claims or filing an appeal could jeopardize your current %. In other words, I am currently rated at 70%, they could decrease my rating at any time.
The varo could look at this and down grade me? I have a 60% for cardio issues. Don't see how they could determine an improvement with an enlarge heart with a 50 % ventricular.
Also, by submitting new claims or appeals that have nothing to do with the original claim could cause them to review my entire file.
I have an appeal with the local varo going going on since October of 2010. No movement. I don't expect anything to happen there for another 5-10 years or so.
