tdiu Tdiu C&p Exam, Increase On Current Sc, Filing For Increase.

[indyman]

During my C&P for TDIU, a worsening SC condition was noted. One has worsened and the other was new. Lower PN was worse, and upper PN was found as underlying to Carpal Tunnel bilaterally. I do not think the reviewers or RVSR's will pick up on this either intentionally, or just overlook it. If denied TDIU and I file NOD, do I have to wait a year to file for increased SC condition or newly found condition? And can I use the NP report done for the TDIU exam even though it was missed? Or, should I file a CUE? I have also thought of the 21-526ez for the new SC and worsened SC. My upper PN was rated at moderate, and lower PN at Moderately Severe. I also wear afo's and use a cane to walk. The NP caught the cane part, but only mentioned the afo's as braces. Both these items are a true indication of a worsening disability, but what kind of weight does this have. Thanks for any info in advance.

If you are denied TDIU I would add new claims for increase for the worsening upper PN. I would keep the TDIU appeal separate from new claims PN I think. What is your TDIU claim for?
