Would like some input. I have discussed the fact my claim for PAD secondary to my SC DM II was denied based on no nexus, lack of medical support of the claim.
I was going to file a NOD, a DAV SO at the Saginaw VA Hospital advised me to file a reconsideration with new medical evidence to support a Nexus, he stated it would be process faster than a NOD.
If I file a reconsideration will I get retro pay from the original claim date or will it be a new claim? I have one year from the date of the denial to file.
I am trying to get this all sorted out in my mind and make the best decision.

A de novo review is not as it appears. When you submit N&M E during the appeals window following denial, your de novo review is done by the VA RVSR's boss-often a DRO. Therefore you are getting a

The crazy one is here. IMHO, the only time a veteran should file a request for reconsideration at the VARO is within sixty (60) days after receiving a rating decision and if the new decision is no
