I have been following posts on foot drop and whether it gets a schedular rating or SMC K rating and I am confused. During my NP C&P exam the NP stated yes to the question "does the veteran have lower extremity diabetic peripheral neuropathy" She indicated the nerve as the sciatic nerve. She gave both left and right (bilateral) as Moderately Severe.
In her narrative she indicated I have servere bilateral lower extremity peripheral neuropathy as well as moderate upper extremity periperal neuropathy. He has foot drop bilaterally and wears hinged braces to assist him in maintaining his normal gait.
Is this a schedular rating or an SMC K?
It is all part of a TDIU claim. Any help or thoughts/opinion(s) and I'll read them.
